Sony Plasma Poor Picture When First Start Up
Sony plasma would take 15 min to warm up to get a good picture. After some time has passed, the picture quality has greenish and pink tones,and is only really noticeable on white color tones. Picture quality does not get better after warm up anymore. Picture is gradually getting worse. It appears to have much brighter colors than dark. Capacitors don't appear to be bulged or leaking. Is there any certain board that is common for this problem?
