Is the picture on the screen all blue? Or are you talking about the magic focus will not adjust the blue on the convergence, and it looks like a blue outline around features?
So have you tryed to adjust the grey scale or the red blue and gren for a good B&W picture yet? your most likly going to need a service manual to assist you in this. I will look this afternoon and see if I have one or one close enough so you can alighn the set. The problem you describe, could be a bad tube, if this cam on all of a sudden or a bad CRT drive circuit.
Yes I have tried to adjust the Red/Blue scale and no luck. I was told that it might be "Blue Yoke" no Idea what that is. I don't how old the TV is. We got it free and now I know why...
No, if it was a yolk problem you would not have any sweep or deflection on the screen and the set would most likly be dead. Sounds like maybe a picture tube? Oh by the way, the set is a 2002 model number.
I thank you all for your help and hope I resolve the issue. Also would that make the screen jump from time to time. Is this common for this make and do you know if it is worth my time or should I just go back to smaller tv's.

The screen is mostly blue. Some of it has color. I tried to adjust it, but it does not go away.
It's more like a blue tint. I have color but if the blue tint was gone it would look great.

Thank You for your help. Is a picture tube costly. Do you know where I should get one..
Did you check the drivers on the crt board and resistors ?you may need to change the CRT BOARD.
I have no Idea how to work on this TV. I guess I am going to have someone come and look at it..
Shoylee, play it safe and call in a pro to assist you if you do not know the safety precautions to heed when working on a solid state TV set.

To tell you the truth, it realy would depend on how much you were given an estimate to repair, as if im not mistakin, a 2002 model.
