The above statement sounds quite obvious and reasonable.
I bring this up because I am seeing so very many requests for help on C.R.T. TV Repair forums where the people seeking help, are making the task of helping them almost impossible.
A screen shot of a video game, with the question, “What is wrong with this,” is not very helpful.
If anyone is to help them, we require the brand and model of the television, we need a description of the fault, in their own words, and any other thing (noise/sound) that might help. If a screen shot, or short film clip, were to display a test pattern, so much could be checked.
About three Saturdays ago I was watching a DVD of the musical, South Pacific, and was amazed to see some early special effects that basically consisted of lowering one of primary colours to produce a coloured tints to the picture. Sometimes a different tint on the same scene (Island of Bali Hai) This is definitely not a movie to use when adjusting a set's grey-scale.
