Experience
In order to properly assist you, it is very important that you provide the Model number of the television and the year it was manufactured. You can find this information on the back of the TV. Please also let me know if you are trying to fix the unit or just need to know the cost for repair.
If you have a digital camera, and know how to solder and use a meter, I can help you fix your unit in most cases.

Subject: TV picture gone bad
Question
We have a 2004 Toshiba 48" or thereabouts. For about a year now, the picture looks wavy for about 3 minutes, then it is fine. Today, it has completely gone crazy! Now, it doesn't warm up at all and the picture is kind of doubled. The colors are red and pink that are shadowing/outlining main items. Images are doubled with one being red and one being green. The picture is blurry and the colors aren't anything like what they should be. What do you think this is? How much to repair including the labor and service fee?
Also, we have been thinking about getting a smaller tv...one of the thin screen models where the screen is still big but not as big as this one. Do you think it is worth repairing the old tv or just going ahead and buying a new one? If we chose to repair the old tv, what are the chances that something else may go wrong in the near future?
Thanks! All advice is greatly appreciated!

Answer
this sounds like a convergence circuit going bad. a repair cost would range 300-400. this is a good model and worth a repair.
as far as a new tv i will tell you i work on more of the newer tv`s than the older ones. but if you have to buy a new tv then stick with a name brand. like sony or toshiba, panasonic.
Good luck :)
