 |
|
Hi,
After having a perfect picture from day 1, my 4 year old Sony Wega KD32DX51 CRT tv appears to have suddenly developed a fault.
Sometimes the picture is perfect but on some scenes, about half a second to a second after the scene has changed on screen, the colour suddenly either develops a peachy tone or appears to over-saturate. It depends on what the picture on-screen is. This is also occurring with menus and on all video inputs.
Any advice on what is likely to be wrong, how it can be fixed, and how much a repair is likely to be would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kroma, UK |

| It sounds like your CRT tube is going. I't probably not worth putting the money into it. |

Having observed the tv a bit longer, it would seem that the 'peachy' colour is a slightly pinky/peach hue.
I can't understand why the picture is sometimes perfect and why it sometimes 'blooms' into this peachy/pink colour. Also, some scenes are definitely over saturated.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Kroma |

The symptom you are describing seems to match what I saw when I was still in the repair business.
As the CRT ages, the electron guns get contaminated and the result is the blooming colors you currently see.
To verify this, you can watch to see if one color does it more than the rest.
Once you've identified the color, put on a picture which repeats the problem, a DVD or VCR in pause mode would work great for this.
Adjust the color level on the TV and watch to see if the blooming gets worse as the color intensity goes up, if it does it is a very good chance the CRT is worn out.
Some TV shops have a machine to "burn off" the contaminates from or "recondition" the electron guns but the success rate is iffy.
Replacement CRT's are likely rare or impossible to get now and if you can find one, you'll likely find that your money is just as well spent on a new TV. |

Thank you for the advice.
Next question - is it possible for a bad CRT to get better with time? 2 weeks on and the fault isn't nearly as noticeable now, and it's not just because I've got used to it!
