I have a 14 year old 32" Toshiba that is developing a video problem.
So this puts us between a rock and a hard place.
Even thought they cost big $$$$$ back then, a new one of this size is a lot cheeper now and can be HDTV to boot.
It is hard to take them to the TV repair shop. The cost of a house call is more big $$$$, may come close to the cost of a new set.
So call around in your area and get some estements for repair cost. Check out new TV's and then make your decision. John
I have a 36" Mitsubishi TV that is 12 years old. It works great, but the sound sometimes cuts out. If I turn it off for a few seconds, it will usually work again, but go off again after a short time. Usually after going through this drill a number of times, it will stay on. Is this something I can fix? Is it worth having a repair person fix it?
