ok, its the converence. it looks like there is a double or tripple image in different colors, and its bowed (curved)...
When its sunken in, the IC chips are bad. They need to be replaced and then converged. My husband fixed tvs in Nashville, and for that size tv, he charges $250. But thats REALLY cheap for around here, he is self-employed. Best buy, hhg, someplace like that around here would charge $400+.
Different areas might be diffent. Call around to some smaller busnesses that are liscenced.

It sounds like your tube is shot. Same thing happened to me. It's cheaper to just buy a new TV. Sorry.
