I think my TV is on its last legs, HELP!

[Candyman5]

The circles above represent the places on my tv where the color changes. They are like lightly colored onals about the size above. What they cover are visible but off the basic color it should be. Am I in trouble?

EDIT: This is not a pic of my TV screen so dont try to look for the spots.

Sure it's just not some burn-in?

Yeah because it goes away some times. I am not sure what to make of it.

If those spots are purple ,green , or pinkish you prolly need to degauss the tv. There is a built in degauss to your tv but they usually fail and produce spots.Try to unplug for a half an hour and start up, spots may go away and not return.If this fails they sell a degauss coil for about 20.00 that you wave in front of the tv and cures the problem.You could get this at radio shack.Zenith tvs are known for bad tubes that could give color impurities but it usually does not come and go.Hope this helps...

Bingo, thanks. That is what it does sometimes.
