In totally dark room turn down( off) color level.
Turn down brite & contrast most the way but still has pix.
Is it a good B&W pix or a color?
Now turn up the brite & contrast does the pix get worse ?
Does the color of the pix change ? Focus go bad ?
Are streaks shooting to the right of brite areas ?
Bottom line is a set with a weak jug can look normal when you
dont drive it hard. If you put up some screen shots may be able to

Sorry to hear about your mother. Lost mine last fall & it sure
changes things. But she was 97 and happy with the time she had
& ready for the next step. Now we talk of her & smile remembering her
& all she did for us.
