RIGHT SIDE OF SCREEN IS DISTORTED , LEFT SIDE WORKS FINE .

The set uses two boards to drive the screen --one for each half or side.

Different names are used like sustain or in LCD sets inverter.

Hi ,
Mostly that problem because LCD panel. Solusion is replace the panel.

Try installing the latest video driver. Download it from the HP WEB site and make sure the video driver matches Windows XP or Vista that is installed on your laptop.

These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony, Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,Pioneer, Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

possible bad stk convergence amplifier

I have the parts, very cheap. hill6399 at yahoo.

that sounds like your LCD controller, since the LCD screen is so big, they will "split" the screen into 2 smaller screens, otherwise it would be so outrageously expensive to have one big massive lcd controller. Your lcd controller is most likely a two-in-one card though, meaning that there are 2 controllers on one board. You'll more than likely need a new controller card for your tv.

you have a loose connection, good luck....

i have the same problem

Sounds like you've got whats called a cold solder connection somewhere in the horizontal width control circuit or a connection in the sweep section. Should'nt be two expensive but unless you have had some soldering and troubleshooting experience I would leave this on to the pros. Good Luck
