That's a common problem known as a convergence failure. Sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com have parts to fix this.

Sounds like the red and green images have shifted.

In your settings menu there should be an option for it to self adjust or manual adjust of the red and green images alignment.

My Panasonic has exactly the same problem. The repair man just came in and said that the convergence and resistor burned under heat and have to be replaced. Will cost $400.

Everything looks like its in 3D vision. Im pretty sure somthing isnt alined right so i was wondering what i can do to fix it.

Replace convergence output ICs in your tv to fix this 3D look picture, it happens due to convergence output chips failure.
Local tv repairman will fix it for you if you have no prior experience of part replacement in tv circuit board with proper tools.

Picture looks almost 3-D

When convergence out ICs stop working in rear projection TV, picture looks 3D affects.
Need to test/ check supplied volts on convergence out ICs on main board and if volts are OK, replace both ICs.
I'm not sure if you are going to repair TV by yourself or will ask local tv tech to fix it. Let me know please.
Thanks.

Panasonic 47 inch Projection tv PT-53WX42F

Sounds like your convergence chips are going. Unless you are real handy with soldering iron I would suggest having a tv repair shop service it(probably cost $200-300). If you are handy then I believe the chips you need are Sanyo STK392-110. There should be 2 of them. be careful if you order them online, there are lots of chinese knock-offs out there.

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together convergence repair kits for most models.

The kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, etc. Everything you will need to do the repair yourself.
