That is a projection TV, with 3 big CRTs that put out a lot of light and
heat. They probably do have some sort of coolant (silicone?) to keep
them from melting, and maybe it is like auto fluids that just use up
their capabilities after a time of heating/cooling cycles. Not sure why
that would affect the picture, but it sounds sorta reasonable. Perhaps
you could try some of the German synthetic blinker fluid? Boards go bad
too, temp cycling kills components.
All the big retailers are fighting hard for your dollar, time to go work
them over good. You might want to wait a coupla weeks to just before
Christmas when they are reaching hard, then get a 30day price guarantee
and keep an eye on post-Christmas prices.
Sams Club had some nice TVs at decent prices on Saturday. Wifey was
wanting a flat screen for the BR, they had some good prices on Vizios so
I got a 32" LCD 720P. The display had no price on it, but there was a
folded up paper there next to it, which I looked at to see if it was a
price. Turns out it was an internal email listing about 40 products
they were putting out with killer prices, on Friday ("THIS IS BIG!!" it
said). Those TVs were on the list. While I was looking at it, some
other guy came by and got one also. It looks very nice, kind of a
mid-range quality and price it appears, and has some interesting
features. Good for BR. It also found a bunch of the digital cable
channels and HD channels too, without a cable box, but on weird numbers
so I have to make up a menu for it. Or I might have to get another box
now. They had some cheap DVD players too that upconvert and have HDMI
connections, have not hooked that up yet.
Merry Christmas to me!
