Does it have a degauss control? Some if not all sets do, especially the larger models.

I'm not an electronic technician, but had some experience with degaussing before ditching the last CRT.

Don't get overenthusiastic with it. It generates high pulse currents (the BOING noise should be a clue) and you don't want to overheat the circuitry. Leave the set several minutes to cool and stabilise. If it is better but not good enough, another degauss might improve it, but the laws of diminishing returns apply.
