Toshiba 32AF42 Poor picture quality

I bought this TV 4yrs ago and its been working fine until today when I went to turn it on. I have sound, but the picture quality is the issue. I have gray/white lines going across the screen and although i still see the images and can make out color, the pictures appear grayish/faded (almost like if I had put a see through sheet or veil over the screen. Can you tell me what might be the problem?

    same problem as describe at first. Have had TV for 5 years now. Mine actually shuts itself off now, after about 5min of viewing. The unit cannot be turned on and the power button red LED flashes. If I unplug it it will start again and run for 5min and shut-off as before. The picture when available is always very white and grey...

    Toshiba MW27FNIC(-R) has 10 white lines across top quarter of the screen. They distort the picture.

TRY ADJUSTING THE SCREEN CONTROL ADJUSTMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLYBACK TRANSFORMER.THIS SHOULD REMOVE THE RETRACE LINES AND ANJUST THE HASY LOOK TO THE PICTURE IF NOT YOU HAVE A BAD CAP IN THE SCREEN CIRCUIT .LOOK FOR A 10MFD/250V CAP IF FEEDS THE NECK BOARD ATTACHED TO THE PICTURE TUBE 200V DC.

TV has fuzzy piture, all colors, but contrast is awful

I think you'd have to look at how much a comparable set would cost. I know that flat screen sets are coming down in price.

One thing you could try is to adjust the focus control although if it just went all of a sudden, then this may not help. There are two controls on the flyback transformer. Follow the thick red wire from the top of the picture tube down to the transformer that it's connected to on the circuit board. There will be two controls, the upper one being focus (marked with an "f" or the word focus). Try adjusting this while watching the picture. A mirror may be helpful. At the same time, be very careful what you touch in there, any metal part could have high voltage on it. As long as you are just touching plastic parts you should be ok. A good rule of thumb is to keep one hand behind your back as you work so as you don't inadvertantly ground yourself to the chassis while touching something with a high voltage on it.

If this scares you a little perhaps it's worth taking the set to a shop for an estimate.
