Ok I called Sharp and they said that my tube might be bad.
The tube has a really good picture but I cant get it any brighter then the pic below.
From what  I understand a cap kit well bring the brightness back right?
They want 15.00 for the cap kit and 5.00 for the the manual.
I hope a cap kit will do the trick

Heres the pic
As you can see there is alot of blue in the pic Ive tryed to adjust everthing and this is the best I can get it. Thanks for the help

The capkit and manual would be a great starting point.

I guess that I'm worried that Sharp said the tube is bad I really don't want to spend any money if the cap kit will not work.
Ken does the tube look good to you? The only bad tubes Ive seen they don't show nothing at all.
Thanks for the help

Have the tube "shot" at a local T.V. repair shop?
