Finished watching Seinfeld, walked into the next room, came back, started flipping through channels, notice the color going bad.
A wash of green invading the lower left and right corners...color turning disgusting...it is going bad.
It's a 27" Sharp I bought in 1997, worked like a champ all this time.
I hate stuff like this, I don't plan on buying a new TV out of the clear blue.But...I paid about $475 for that back then, and can get a flat glass TV now for less than half that.

you got speakers at the lower left corner?
sometines the magnets wreak havok like that
- mg330
No, actually the speakers are up on the wall.
But you bring up a good point. I was just storing my guitar amps beside the tv since Sunday night. Both have 12" speakers and of course gigantic magnets.
Could that do it that fast?

mine did the same thing. is that the sure sign that it's going to die? thats pretty damn funny..it just gets worse and worse each time you turn it on!
i had this giant projection tv (52 inch) that i moved from one apartment to my new place (prior new place that is) and when i plugged it in it just blew up! haha.. i was like i can't believe i just lugged this piece of shit from one place to another up stairs to have it blow up! it was fun rolling it out and letting it drown down the 4 stairs though after! haha...i got it on video..wonder if i can find it
- inkblot0
It can change colors as soon as there is a magnet near it - and go away just as fast...

I moved the amps right about the same time, into my closet.

Just turned back on, it looks fine now, going to run it for a while.
Maybe it was a brief thing?
I hope so, I've no money for a new TV at the moment.

Mine is an old 20" Magnavox tv that makes all the greens look like I was being shot with laser by a misterious bright green cloud during an alien invasion.
Was gonna get a new one last month but I decided to wait for the crap they put on sale during the holidays.

(Nov 8 05, 17:27)I have the same one at home w/ stickers all over it. Needs a good kick once in a while to get it working. Does yours have a "remote" with only the power button and up and down channels? Silver and black.
- Jaline0
nope, we lost the remote a long time ago. but the TV works beautifully.
- Jaline0
well, it has colour issues here and there, but rarely, and nothing else.
*knocks on wood
- skelly0
haha, jaline mine looked just like that. it was from late 70s or early 80s, but it was a Zenith. Plastic woodgrain is the best! But my dad gave me his old tv, so I threw out the oldone.
