My Mitsubishi WS-55805 16:9 HDTV has been acting up for a couple of weeks now, but tonight it has taken a turn for the worse:

The blue appears to bend inwards from all sides, and all images have a blue and yellow shadow. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this, so I can describe the problem properly when I call to get quotes for service. Is this most likely a $500 repair, or a $2000 job? At some point I'm going to have to consider whether it's worth it to repair or replace. I have had it since December 1999.


Any input is appreciated!


Thanks!

Looks like your convergence of your crts is wayyyy out of whack, did it just become like that, or was it gradual?

It flickered a few times over the last couple of weeks, and tonight it just flickered and then never looked back...

Wow the only time I've seen my Mits (46805) that whacked out is when my PC is at the post screen.


I know my Mits offers advanced convergence (64-point) without accessing the service menu, and you may be able to improve the problem there if you have a bit of patience. I would give that a try if its an option with your set.
