Thought they'd fixed it last time, been good as gold for about 2 months.

My TV is nearly 9 and works well - just a bit of fade in one corner on bright scenes, normally never noticed

I bought a 26" Hitachi in 1983 the tube started to show signs of failure in September last year.  The picture turned slightly yellow and squeezed in at the sides about once a month.

Paid £429 when new, only one repair, new transformer, and the engineer said it was a mechanical issue as it was turned off at the button evey night.  he said to put it on standby from then on, gave the TV last year and is still working, the fault still happens about once a month still.

Paid a lot for the TV at the time, but deffo got value for money.  my concern is that by todays standards I dont think I could replace it.  I reallt cant see a TV built today doing 16/20 hours a day in use and lasting 25 years, and if I paid top dosh then, what would it cost for the equivelent today.

The tubes do go even good ones, but mine does look OK until you get a bright background and then my wife didn't notice until I pointed it out.

Focus is still spot on.

I am winding Jaime up as mine is Sony ;D

I thought I had screwed mine up a few years ago. but a pair of speakers each side of the TV thinking they were magnetically sheilded  :-/ and all the screen turned a nice bruised purple colour.  :-/ Still carried on like brand new TV afterwards though. :y :y

Any CRT tube is knackered after 5yrs.  Doesn't matter if its a decent old school Sony one, or a Tescos special, its a problem with the format.

My supplier - those useless tosspots in Blackpool under the name Beyond Television - absolutely wouldn't budge.  Now its been repaired twice, I will have a go again....

In my idea they have the sharpest view quality normally and I decided to buy one (still waiting as the old sony in home still working )

but how can a product showing this quality view can have defects :-/
