I've just ordered a 55" fancy new tele, it was supposed to be 49" but I thought fuck it (not literally). Can something ever be too big? How big is yours? Can you get it all in?  |

I went from 32" to 42" then 55" and now I'm on 65".
When this one dies, and I hope that's not for the foreseeable future. I'll go bigger again! 75" minimum! When it comes to watching/gaming. Nothing is too big!  |

What's it doing? "
Well sometimes the picture will just disappear,but still have sound,if I switch it off for a couple of min's and switch it back on it's fine. Other times it's just a rubbish picture when I first switch it on,but will settle to a normal picture within 30 min's or so?!  |

Sound but no picture indicates a possible signal panel failure. The temperamental screen issue of it needing to warm up before giving a clear picture indicates a screen failure is imminent.
Do you have lines down the screen before it returns to normal? |

Is it a Sony? The motherboards on them pack up quite quickly. My daughter was quoted £200 to get hers fixed. |

It is indeed...that's it I don't want to get someone in because I know that will cost a fortune. |

Ooh good question I think the lines are going across actually,but I'll need to check when it's doing it again I may be wrong. So you're basically saying get saving?!  |

Yes, sadly the screen is on its way out. You can get replacement screens, but compared to what you can pick TVs up for nowadays I don't think it's cost effective. |

I don't think I have the patience for that I'd end up taking the hammer to it  |
