View Full Version : Analog Home Thoughts: my CRT HDTV is dying!

About a year ago, I scraped up $125 to buy a 28 inch 1080i CRT TV on Craigslist. It's been awesome, until a couple weeks ago when it freaked out during a DVD from my Xbox 360.

About 30 minutes into the movie, it slightly darkened, blurred, and pulled all brighter colors to the right. Channel changes didn't fix it, turning it on and off did but only sometimes.

Today, it did it again, and I found that smacking it on the right side with my palm *usually* slaps the image back into place.

I really don't want my CRT TV to die. Any ideas?
