In Reply to: Is it a Direct View display? posted by Joe Murphy Jr on October 30, 2004 at 16:50:34:
Don't know. It's a ten or fifteen year old Sony. I hooked up the speakers last night and watched three or four hours of video with the audio via the outboard speakers. Noticed the new colores this morning. They persisted all day through several football games. Thanks for you help.

How close are they to the display if they are? Does the problem go away if you move the speakers farther away from the display?I'd watch it for a few days to see if it clears up on its own. If not, a service visit is what you may need. Then again, do you want to keep it? I have an Emerson 27" Direct View set that still shows a decent picture (it's about 14 years old now, my 4 year old is using it in his room), but if it acted up -- in the garbage it would go.
By the way, yours is a Direct View (single picture tube) display.
Thank you, Joe. The picture cleared up after I had if off for a half hour or so. All day it seemed to be getting worse even after I had unwired the speakers and moved them away. Actually, the TV had been on all day until late this evening with non-stop football games. Now I guess I need to pick up a pair of shielded speakers. Sorry I cannot use very good, inexpensive Sound Dynamics speakers with the TV setup. Never occurred to me that they would be unshielded. Thanks again for youir responses.
Can't you just move them away from the display (longer speaker wire)? If they sound good in your setup, why not try to use them?
No, can't. Because of the room design I have to put the TV and gear in a corner which requires the speakers to be right up against the TV. I hope the next pair of speakers I try are well shielded.
