So, this is what happened. We switched on the telly Sunday and the colour's all weird. By Monday morning, all the people's faces are green - it was like watching Shrek or the Incredible Hulk. Celebrity Masterchef was impossible to watch when you're looking at purple food. Johnny assumed the tubes had gone and so got on ebay looking for a new one. As he likes to keep up with the times, he chose a 37" LCD TV which is a tad bigger than our existing 28" at a cost of £700! He rang the company who said it would be delivered today. However, after returning from a family meal at the Polash yesterday evening, we turned on the TV only to find that the picture had corrected itself. I actually hadn't noticed; someone else pointed it out, and it was like 'oh no'! Naturally we couldn't cancel the order so just had to ignore the fact that the existing tv was ok again.
Impressed I was when indeed the new on did turn up at about midday today. John put the old one upstairs in the spare bedroom and when he switched it on, the colour had gone all funny again. So, it hadn't been a waste of money after all!
Wow, this TV is huge but it's really cool. I love it. I'm not scared of 'big' anymore like I was when we upgraded from a standard square telly to the 28".
