This was a PITA set, cheaper than most better projos then. Fortunately, growing up in Oak Ridge, TN as a junior tech, we only saw one (fellow bought it in Knoxville). Had the same issue with VIR on about color shift. Fuzzy picture, required very dim light to watch, limited viewing angle, and sort of nasty. GE did do a great job of supplying parts and tech support. After the second big lightning strike, the set owner bought a new Sony from our Sony dealer (competition but friends). Much better set. Still needed a darkened room, but had better color rendition, and still fuzzy around the edges like the early projos, that set lasted this owner 8 years as a daily watcher.
