I just acquired a Philips 50P8341 rear projection TV for free. It powers up 
fine,
picture has a white/blue ghosting/halo effect around objects. Tried doing some 
adjustments
but can not remove this ghosting/halo effect from the picture.

Anybody have any ideas where to look or what is causing this problem? Is there a
service manual to be had for this model? I have already found the USER manual 
but
this is of limited use.

I am capable of doing any work on this myself, soldering/desoldering, have 
O-scope
and DVM and can read a schematics. First time working on a RP-TV.

I have also heard from others about a Fluid change? How do I go about checking 
this
level? by eye?

Many thanks.
