New to us and worked fantastically.  Fantastically in that windows
directories could easily be read and everything was sharp and in
focus.

I was amazed how much better this TV was when driven from the PC than
any other TV I have connected to a PC especially in the corners where
all the other TV's seem to suffer from blurry text.

It is mainly driven from a small PC with S-video out and suffers this
problem now with both the internal receiver and external video card
source.  When the TV has no source it mutes or blanks the screen so
you dont see the snow.  This was once a very uniform blue screen, now
it is almost a uniform green with the faintest patch of blue in the
center and small red corners.  So we can eliminate my cabling and the
internal harness.

This was a fault that started a bit differently a few months ago where
the colours were only messed up in the corners and occasionally came
good.  Now it has reversed. ie the whole screen is messed up.

I once thought it was a deguassing issue as I fooled myself into
thinking that when i heard a mild thunk the screen would often be
better, but I am not sure if this TV ever thunked when it first turned
on after the power had been removed for awhile.

I not too familiar with TV's but a faulty deguassing PTC seems to fit
the fault that it first exhibited.

Cheers Justin
