Want this question answered?
If this is an older analog (CRT tube) type television and since it `occasionally happens' it sounds like you have a bad (intermittant) solder connection somewhere in your vertical deflection circuit.
CRT
CRT monitors use a beam of electrons to form the picture - LCD's use microscopic pixels. CRT's need large amounts of electricity to form the picture - LCD's work with low voltages.
Your LCD panel is likely failing, according to several sites. If it is on an edge, though, it could be software/cable related (external connection with the Sky+HD Box). If this is a CRT (tube) TV and nothing but the line is present, then it could be the horizontal deflection system is broken. If there is still a picture, you may be seeing the support wires (there will be 2 or 3 or them) that hold up the aperature grid on Trinitron-style CRT televisions. This is normal.
Why lw-crt tv box don't display on flat monitors? They actually try to display but the picture will flicker and disappear.CRT is "Cathode Ray Tube" and LCD is "Liquid Display Cristal" thus the units were manufactured to specifically produce for CRT monitors not LCD monitors.LCD monitors have a different resolution and image refresh rate compared to CRT monitors therefore both monitors (LCD & CRT) monitors, compose the picture in different formats.So the LW-CRT-TV box produce a picture for low resolution monitors that is to say CRT.
Short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to the metal chassis, CRT shield or carbon painted on the CRT after removing the anode.
CRT screen size
The CRT refers to cathode ray tube. This is the oldest of the varous TV types. More recent developments have been projection, plasma, etc.
Frankly, if you know there are six parts, then by definition, you know the answer. Stop trolling,.
It shouldn't. If there is no actual power to the CRT (no picture visible) then there really can't be any degradation of the tube.
On your TV, you have the ability to change the aspect ratio of the picture. What's happening is that you may have the aspect ratio improperly set so that the DVD's picture doesn't fill the screen, or possibly the video was filmed in an aspect ratio that's different that our current standards (maybe something originally ilmed in a different video format). On your computer, it sounds like you're seeing the edges of the viewing area of your monitor. ALL CRT (tube type monitors) have a usable viewing area, but also conatin a black line around the top, bottom and sides.
An LCD television will only display high definition picture if an HD equipment is used as an input to it. Standing on its own, compared to a CRT television, modern LCD TVs have quicker reponse times and never suffer from flickering images. Both types of monitors (newer models) provide bright and vibrant color display. However, LCDs cannot display the maximum color range that a CRT can. In terms of image sharpness, when an LCD is running at its native resolution the picture quality is perfectly sharp. On a CRT the sharpness of the picture can be blemished by soft edges or a flawed focus. Also, a CRT TV can be viewed from almost any angle, but with an LCD this is often a problem.
