Turn on your big screen TV. While the screen image will come up right away, you should let the picture warm up for about 10 or 15 minutes. That provides the optimum viewing environment and will let you fix the color on the TV properly. 2 Insert a DVD with the THX Optimizer ability into your DVD player. The THX Optimizer helps you balance your big screen TV perfectly in relation to the room you have placed it in. A number of popular DVDs have this option, including the six "Star Wars" films, the first three "Indiana Jones" films and many of Pixar's animated movies such as "The Incredibles" and "Finding Nemo."

The problem you describe might be the tube, but there are other parts of the television that can cause similar effects. You will need to have it checked at a TV repair center and they will also be able to tell you how much a new tube could cost. In these days of very low cost televisions, it is quite likely that the tube will cost more than a new television.

Colors seen on a TV Screen result from color?

In older TV sets, the picture tube contained a colored matrix of red, blue and green (primary colors) coating that was applied to the inside of the front of the picture tube. The neck of the tube contained an "electron gun" that emitted a stream of electrons that impacted the coated tube surface. When an electron impinged the surface, it gave off energy, visible as light. The electron beam was controlled by a "deflection" circuit that caused the beam to sweep across the tube horizontally, and also move from top to bottom vertically. The end result is the creation of visible light on the screen. There is more to it, but this gives you an idea. Current TV's use projection circuit, etc., but the basic principle is the same.


Can you replace a picture tube by yourself on a RCA TV?

Theoretically it is possible to change a tube on a television. However, if the question is being asked, it suggests a limited experience of television repair. Television tubes require very high voltages to operate, in the order of 20,000 volts or higher. These voltages can be lethal and they are present within a television circuit long after the television has been turned off. In addition to the danger, lining up a new tube requires detailed knowledge of the television model and the procedure to obtain a good image. Unless you are properly trained and qualified to repair televisions, do not ever remove the covers. Finally, the cost of a new tube for most televisions is now higher than a replacement television and it makes no financial sense to attempt a tube replacement. I replaced a broken Picture Tube on a RCA set myself, I got a shock while lifting the old tube into my car, I forgot to discharge the tube and lucky I didn't drop it, that would have been dangerous. I found an old used tube to replace it, a new rebuild would be too costly. I don't recommend anyone do this unless you have some knowledge.

Can you repair the old picture tube of a Philips TV or where can you get a new tube and how can you change the tube yourself?

Repair or ReplaceAs an experienced TV technician, chances are the replacement picture tube for your TV will cost more than the set did originally. They're getting scarce because there really aren't that many manufacturers making CRT's any longer and in most cases, a replacement CRT will be a rebuilt.Yes, you could change one, but it's a dangerous operation and the voltages found in CRTs can be FATAL, even after the television has been turned off.As far as repairing your old tube, it depends on what's wrong with it. Sometimes they can be rejuvinated, but this too requires either intimate electronics experience or the proper equipment. In most cases, that'll just buy you another 30 days to maybe as much as two years of useful service.Doesn't always work either. Depends on the condition of the tube and the manufacturer.Best advice: Go buy another TV. It is now likely to be far less expensive than repairing a CRT television.
