Yeah, about 16 hours per day. I consider that "heavy."

And one enters the service mode...how? [I was in it when initially

I miss the BLACK blacks, and the dazzling pure whites (which are
slowly turning pink.)

Thanks.

It varies from set to set, but if you google the model number and service mode you might find it.

Most CRTs are good for about 20K hours give or take, and lifespan depends heavily on the brightness and contrast levels.

That's about 3 1/2 years at 16 hours per day. I had both the brightness
and the contrast set at about 1/3 of maximum.

I'll try Google. Thanks.
