television looks like a black light


Any ideas other than to buy a flat panel?

Believe me, a flat panel is in the plans; just not at this moment.

dumb question: is there anything near that corner?

That side of my TV, nothing at the moment. Though I usually have my Wii there.

My receiver is on that side of the TV but under it, and my cable box is under that.

someone or you put a magnet or something with a magnetic field there. You have to get something magnetic and kind of play with it until that goes away.

hmmm ... OK ... Well here's something else that's weird.

The first time I noticed it was during the Super Bowl, and it drove me nuts.

The next day, it was gone.

Tonight, I turned on my TV and noticed it immediately.

So I guess it comes and goes.

Is that still magnet related?

Is there a speaker or anything with a motor (perhaps like a vibrating recliner or osmething) in the same room as the TV? Just moving a device like that can cause the magnetic fields to move and interfere with the TV/

Well I have 5.1 surround, so I've got speakers all over the room ... But none have been moved close to that side of the television.

try just rotating maybe the ones nearest to the TV see if that makes a differnce. where is your subwoofer? Try moving that too.

oh, that's on the opposite side of the room, next to the couch ... feel that rumble!

does your tv menu have a degaussing option? also, try unplugging it for a several minutes and plugging it back in. some tv's have a built in degauss activated on hard resets.

If you have a trinitron you can adjust the landing of each corner individually.
