Picture on GE projection TV has a concave curve to it.

I have a 10 year old GE projection TV Model#46GW945, that has a slight curve in the picture. Also the colors are not lining up(cccooolllooorrrsss)imagine every other one of these letters being a different color^. I inherited this tv and am looking for a easy fix or just want to know if I should just "toss".

You may have a convergence problem. Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos.

  • Screen looks 3D
  • Colors don't line up
  • One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
  • Screen is bowed or warped.

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.



You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.


You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick email and they will put one together for you. Their kits includes photo instruction guides, original Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.

SOURCE: Sony 51" Rear Projection TV is blurry with colored ghost images

Thats caused by a convergence failure. The Sony type 1 convergence repair kit from www.tvrepairworld.com will usually correct that issue the kit contains the components and the CD with repair instructions so you can repair yourself.

Loud buzzing noise which became a very loud screech over the last week. Turning tv off and on seemed to remedy it. Today screen was only black and white, now no video only audio. Is this the picture...

This TV uses a lamp and color wheel. the color wheel is likely the problem since it is known to make noise over time and will eventually sieze. The repair is in the $400 range.

Sound but no picture

The first thing to check is the connections to your source. They can easily become loose and/or corroded over time.

46GW945 Dim picture

Check the lamp timer to see how many hours are on it.  If is is near the estimated end of life for your TV replace the lamp.  It will get dimmer as it approaches its end of life.  The lamp timer should be in your menu.
