Blurry Image with Toshiba set


Recently,i noticed that my Toshiba 57HDX82 has given me a blurry and a not very sharp picture.

Once i try to see a DVD movie i notice some grain on the image.I am thinking maybe this could be some dirt in the DVD player.Could that be a factor for not having a crisp picture with DVD's?

With Cable it hasn't really changed.

It could also be your CRT guns are collecting dust and needs to be clean.

Depends on if you have an extended warranty.

Cleaning is easier than changing the oil on your car ...
