Same thing has happened eventually every CRT I've owned
Ive accredited it to something magnetic being near by for a long amount of time. Can't prove that, but I'm sure of it.

Is it all over. Because if it is, then it might be something else or fixable in the colour balancing.

It's weird.
The longer the TV is on, the most distorted and degraded the colour gets and the picture goes off-centre if you don't have the aspect ratio on letterbox format.

I think it's fucked. Technical term.

Sign up to the ebuyer news letter, if your not bothered by 100% full HD (which is only worth it if your going to use it as a pc monitor....
.... Which is cool for downloading fillms and watching it on that), they always have something good on.

Bluray between 1080p and 1089i isn't much different to my eyes, just make sure it's got at least 3 hdmi ports and an optical audio out (so if you get a sound system, you won't heed a splitter or seporate amp)

If I remember correctly
I think it's something to do with the electro-magnetic coils that control where the electrons go that form the picture. They get offset or some rubbish, so the colour goes mental.

Doubt it, as a magnetic object would distort the picture.
This sounds more like the electron gun or the phosphor (the coating on the inside of the screen) is knackered.
