Help and Advice on a Mitsu 65"

[jack01]

I have Mitsu Model # WS65809 S/N 120002 that I bought in 2002 and this is the first time that I have had a problem. The problem is the white color tears into green on the edges(like a ghost). Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Does anyone know of a professional service person in my area. I live in St. Louis (63146).
Thanks for any help!!

Does it tear to the right? How much? Does it go away when you turn the contrast down?

Yes, it does tear to the right and it is approx 1/8 in. I did turn down the contrast and it appears that it is not there now. Thanks for your help

This is a bias, drive, or G2 level problem with the green CRT. Have you used the set with the contrast at max since new? If so it could be aging in the crt. Could be something else, but most failures would be more severe than you describe. How is the gray scale?

I don't know what level the contrast control was set. It has been on Iris control since I got it. I did turn down the color control all the way and it appears the the gray scale is good. It does it a lot more in HD the regular digital TV.
