You are jealous because both mine and Daves Sonys work perfectly (and mine has the best SDTV picture I have seen!) ;D

Fabulous ;D

Me? Jealous? Of Sony junk? Never. And I know you're lying, as the last Sony CRT with a decent picture would now be so old the tube would be way past it.... ;)

It's only 7 years old so has a few years yet

Under general use (1.5hrs per day, 6 days per week average), a CRT is said to be at end of life at 5yrs. Due to the default settings Sony use on Wega sets (Brightness set to 100% - this and high contrast make it look good in showrooms), this is significantly reduced. I would have to say, its probably way past its best. Not worth changing until you can find a flat screen you like though.

Firstly it is not on LIVE sear eyeball settings but with brightness reduced - I found LIVE unacceptable for use
It is also used quite a large bit of the day - either childrens TV/PS2 16:00 through to 22:00 to 00:00. I have seen worn CRTs and mine is not worn - no screen burn either. THat said it still looks better than most Plasmas and LCDs.
I have run a setup DVD on it and one of my favourite parts was the sharpness chapter.
No matter where it was set you could see all detail with no ringing - isn't RGB wonderfull
Video Essentials I think

Only if you bring a nice new 'huge' lcd to replace it with ;D

Trust me Martin, that tube is long past its best - if you put it up against a new Wega you would see it (assuming you could see through focus/convergence/geometry probs of new Wega!). Due to slow deterioration of yours, you just dont notice it. If that tube ain't started going soft, I'll eat my hat.

New Wega - no such thing unfortunately
I'll check on sharpness later when I find VE.
Do you want tomato sauce or garlic sauce on your hat?

Scart cables everywhere....scart from freeview box....scart from/to dvd/HD recorder

Dave - RGB or SVideo or even Composite!
Jaime - well my hearing goes at 17KHz - but my speakers go down to 30s
Anyway it all looks OK no sharpness issues or bleeding - a little unsure between magenta and green but thats the only possible problem I could find.
Basic 50Hz TV no rubbish processing.
-
ANyway Jaime I have tested the upstairs LCD and it has the same green to magenta problem as the 7 Y/O CRT - so I can safely say it is the test pattern.
So which hat do you want to eat Jaime?
-
Jaime - which hat are you eating? ;D
-
Dave - RGB or SVideo or even Composite!
I pretty sure everything is set for RGB

You need to find the engineering settings for the TV - want to borrow DVE?

I did find them once.....sure i can again....whats DVE? and whats it do?

Martin, that tube is going soft, hence my hat survivies another day. No way will any tube not start to go soft after 7 yrs of heavy use. As I said, you would see this if you put it up against a new Wega (if such a thing still existed).

DVE is Digital Video Essentials
It is used for calibrating TVs and projectors
Test cards, frequency sweeps, lots of test patterns
