Help! Blue/Green blobs on my HDTV (pics included)

[TechHead87]

Hello all.

My Zenith 44" has developed a large blue blob on the right side of the screen, and a small, green blob in the bottom/left-hand corner. The research that I've done leads me into the direction of replacing bulbs. But I have no idea how to do that.

Here is a good pic of the blue shmeg...

Here is the entire TV, with green blob in the bottom-left (I put it on a source with no signal so you can see how horrible the black level looks)

How would I go about fixing this? Are bulbs that easy to replace, or should I call a technician?

Is that a RPTV? Possbily your alignment is off; the RGB guns need to be aligned. This is a job for a technician to fix. It might be something else, but I'm not sure what exactly it could be.
