I use a 1990s Magnavox CRT TV set. Last night, while watching a DVD, the screen suddenly got a green tinge throughout. Turning it on today reveals the same problem (in other words, it's a problem cold as well as warmed up). I'm assuming the TV is Done For and it's time to for me to crack open a good book, instead, which might help improve my mind. One can always hope my mind can be improved, and admittedly it wouldn't take much...
That aside, I'm just kind of curious what might be wrong. Attached is a photo of the TV switched on, receiving no signal (and all signal cables disconnected--I did that last night just in case the problem was with the DVD player). I also notice the screen looks a bit unsteady. The black bar near the top in the photo is not noticeable to the naked eye.

Yes, I figure it's time to replace. I just wonder about what causes problems like this.
Regarding black bar in the photo:
I'd figured something like that. I managed to tweak the service menu options and things slightly improved for a short spell. But I have been looking at modern LED tvs.
I tried obvious simple fixes to both rule out external problems (e.g., DVD player), or get the TV to limp along. No luck...so I'll probably take the TV down, and keep my eyes open for a suitable CRT set...if I can find any... |

I'd suggest you send a YouTube message to youtube.com/radiotvphononut, I would bet that he could tell you the problem from memory. He is very smart regarding those things.
