Blurry TV's..
Hi there, i'm hoping this would be the right group to post in. I have
two tv's (5 and 9 years old) with blurry pictures, they take a while to warm up and display a picture. The picture will get better the longer it's left on but decent clarity is impossible. My assumption is that the tube needs to be replaced, could it be a chip/board problem? I know tv's are cheap these days but i'm a man, the world cup is coming up and they'd be handy for the kids. While i'm here are there many differences in the repair of pal/ntsc tv's? Regards in advance.. |

The picture tubes are starting to get weak. The fix would be new tubes. At
this point it is more worth to start shopping for some new TV sets. At least you will have a warranty with a new set. -- JANA _____ "szy" wrote in message oups.com...

Regards in advance.. sounds like the tube unfortunately, but you could try letting them warm up and then adjusting the FOCUS pot on the line transfomer, hopefully it may have enough range to sharpen things up enough to be watchable. -b.. |

Hi,
Greetings from Brazil! Do you live in a high humidity area? Try replacing the CRT's socket. Sometimes the focus hight voltage leaks to ground on a bad socket. Good luck!
