Ok, about my 32" Sony Trinitron..... like I said above,... when you first turn it on, you have no video but you have audio, and then the video finally appears after oh say about 1 min. to a minute and a half. and then once you are sitting there watching it, it starts that the screen goes black, but you still have audio and then the video comes back on and then just continues to flick off and on the whole time you are watching it, but you always have audio? so brokenbroken, do you still think it is the picture tube, because if so, then maybe I will have someone come and take a look at it since its the picture tube that I have the lifetime warranty on. its just a shame to have a 32" sony trinitron sitting and collecting dust in the shed, if I could possilby get it fixed and better yet for free with the warranty!!! instead of watching its replacement, my 20 yr. old 19" that doesn't even get all the upper cable channels.
