I brought a Toshiba 28W8DB from Home Electrical Direct (http://www.hed.co.uk/listitems.asp?CAT=50&Mode=2&SUBCATID=24) around spring time and I had problems with the picture colours.
It was sent for repairs and the tube was replaced, but I just watched 2001:Space Oddessy (compo win:)) and the problem is still there. In the briefing scene, the two bright white walls show the problem, in the left a blue blob will start to appear, grow to cover the entire white wall, ditto on the right but its a yellow blob, and these blob then tint whatevers underneath them if the scene changes...obviously this is 'distracting'.
The problem dissappears if i turn the set off, or on its own if a dark colour is on the screen for long enough.
So on to the questions: what causes the picture problem? (blooming?) is it a setup issue that I can fix?
at the mo, i've got Telewest cable box->dvd->tv via RGB scart, although I'll try svideo from dvd->tv.
If its not sommit I can fix then: is this a problem with a lot of sets? (I did have it with an thompson, 28" but that did it almost immediatly)
Which sets would people recommend for a similar price? I brought the tosh for ~500, but would consider going higher, if I would get a better picture/features(eg progressive scan or 100Hz). And going up to 32" wont be a problem;)
Sound isn't an issue...my yammy ax620 and tannoys take care of all that:)
Thanks in advance
