I can't say for sure but from what I was told this set has fairly low hours, granted it was probably on the whole time slowly cooking the picture tube...
I have the same set. It also has a good tube...but not a SPECK of color. Anyway---I suspect that if this set is plugged in for at least 3 minutes and THEN you turn it on...the pix will cone up in about ONE second. Is this correct? Mine does.
