I need some advice and some info on where I can find some parts. OK I
got this TV free from my grandpa last summer after he upgraded to a 56"
HD Sony I have just recently got around to messing with it due to
moving, so anyway I was wondering where I might be able to pick up a
new screen for this thing. The current one is has tons of scratches in
it and its a little warped. And I also have a problem a little hard to
explain. When ever I use the TV to play a DVD or Video Game there is a
Ora around the Character and text the color on said Ora depends on the
color its surrounding and the brighter the color the larger the Ora
gets. I am trying to get at least 2 more years out of this TV giving me
time to save up for something better. My grandpa bought this TV new in
92. Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advanced.

TV Info:
Make: Magnavox

Have you checked the contrast/brightness settings? Rear projection
televisions generally should be adjusted and viewed in a darkish room,
as they can be a bit hard to see in a bright room.
Try setting the contrast full, then the brightness to a level where
black areas in the picture actually look black, and then back off the
contrast to around 80% or whatever looks best to you.

Untill he cleans 13 years of grime off the mirror and crts,
he can adjust all he wants, wont help.
