I second E-M's comments.

Normally a CRT just on the line will look OK especially in a darkened
room where you dont have to run the brite & contrast high.
Often at the shop a set would look like shit but when at home looked
fine. We had all fluorescent lighting that was to brite & washed
out the pictures........
