Hi

I have the above model 32" widescreen TV that intially starts up OK for
first 30secs but then blooms into blue with thin horozontal sloped lines in
blue.
Blueness gradually fades over the next 10-20minutes to a perfect picture
which lasts without further problem. Checking the web a positor preventing
degaussing appears a possibility. Though switching on/off doesn't help much
and no speakers are near by and TV has been unplugged and started repeatly.

Any other suggestions / theories ? Can using service mode help further ?

Thanks

JM

Are you talking about retrace lines?
this is almost certainly not a degauss problem.
dont touch the service mode, this sounds like component failure.
check: components on crt neck board, video drivers, possibly crt socket?
