HD CRT Widescreen Sony CRT dieing.

[VHS_2012]

I think my HD CRT is dieing

Sometimes I will get a bright flash on a cold start(has not been on in a while.)
sometimes it will shut off when it happens.

I bought it used in 07 or 08 and has about 8,000 to 10,000 hours that I put on it since.


Total hours about 14,000 to 16,000 hours

also it's slightly out of focus when it's warming up normally corrects it self when the quick bright flash happens.
It has one HDMI port

I hate LCD's as they do not have the same contrast and brightness the CRT has and they never will because of what they are made of.
also the color is off once off center viewing axis even if it's a 178x178+ viewing angle type of screen.

Plasma is not my cup of tea uses way too much power and makes too much heat
Plus I hate the Green frames that is introduced by the screen were the whole screen looks green for a split second.
