My Philips TV is over 10 years old and has now got Green Hues all over the screen. Is this going to be an expensive fix or do you suggest a new TV now that my area is going over to digital shortly. I am on Freeview already.

Hi,
It will not be very expensive. From your narration, problem is with the picture tube base board. There is some dry-soldering (dry-soldering means bad soldering joints) . If you Can do soldering then you can fix it. Just re-solder the components in the base board and you problem will be solved. About purchasing a new tv. If your area is going over to digital transmission the it will be good to go for a new one.
ok

You will spend lots of get this 10 year old TV repaired and it is still a 10 year old piece of electronics. The price of TVs has gone down so much that you can more than likely buy a brand new 32" LCD widescreen HDTV for what is will cost to repair this one. You could spend money to repair this one and then something else could go wrong. My advice it to junk it and buy a new one.

My Phillips flat screen model 42fd9935/17 has started going black after playing for about 2 hours... you can still hear the sound, but the screen is black... the picture will come back after turning the tv...

The cost of getting this plasma fixed is not costwise compared to getting a new TV. I recommend NOT to get another plasma but get either an LCD or LED for the best quality compared with price. Plasma parts can be quite expensive especially for a 10 year old model or may not be available.

Bad picture

A 10 year old Rear Projection tv is usually at the end of its life. No such thing as "fluid". Best advice, get a new TV.

Philips big screen hd tv

TV repairs are generally much too expensive to undertake given the great prices out there for new ones with warranty.

I would not bother with it.
