I bought this set new in December 2004 and it's been great. Over a year ago I noticed the picture was losing brightness and I compensated with adjustment but it slowly got worse. I bought a new Phillips bulb from DM about a year ago, hoping that was the problem but it didn't seem to help. It's continued to get worse - to the point of not being able to enjoy the set during the day.
Help!
