If the Sony is working right it will give a better pix than
anything new IMHO. That was prob. the best CRT TV
as far as pix goes ever built. I never ran a game on the one
I had so cant imagine why it looks bad. Try it on a regular
TV like cable etc & see how it looks.
The sets did have a chronic problem with the power
supply but nothing to do with the pix.

Your old set probably just has a twisted yoke & we can
get you through that easily. A few do have tilt or rotation
adjustments in the service menu BUT its not normal for
a set to drift out. Usually its a bad part or the data got corrupted
by static etc.

Whoa, that's all kinds of crazy technical talk right there The recently bought tv is HD (from what I've been told by other members) and it can't handle the 240p from my Sega Genesis so that TV is gonna go back to goodwill or put on craigslist. The one I have with the tilt problem is the KV32FS320. It did a tilt correction in the service menu and it seemed to fix the problem but I don't know what the correct settings should be.

The correct setting is what looks right, its an adjustment. Some of the
settings are model dependent & must be set to a certain number.
So either that data got corrupted OR something is failing & you
made it look OK again.
BTW be VERY careful in the service menu, ALWAYS write down
the numbers you change so you can go back.
