[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 622726, member: 199791"] Our TV's bugging me, over the past year, the focus seems to have gone on the screen, with the edges looking blurry (easily seen with on screen graphics & logos), and it got me wondering (uh-oh!!! Bad thing!!! :eek: )... On my little toshiba portable, it has knobs on the flyback transformer, and I'm sure one was for focus, so the wondering is, would a fairly modern (for 6 years ago!!) Sony TV have something similar to refocus the image, or is it getting near to needing to be replaced? :confused: Another thing bugging me about it is the colour hue seems to shift a lot, not like a psychedelic random colouring, but the colour just seems to shift slightly depending on the picture, so some images look quite yellowed, and others normal... :confused: And yes, I know the dangers of flyback transformers, having seen them on YouTube made into things like Jacobs ladders and suchlike, they are something I wouldn't want to have discharge through me!!! :eek: [/QUOTE]
