That tube is completely useless, should be in the trash. The worst screen burn I have ever seen.

On top of that, notice that the tube is starting to turn brown rather than the original grey. That means it's been used a whole lot and you're likely to get a fuzzier image out of it. And there's no fixing that once it happens. It's just the signs of old age. Yeah, that thing is trashed.
