I don't see red colors, I have done the reset, the convergence to no avail, is this a bulb issus? How do I repair this. Thanks

Normally you would re-adjust it using the convergence menu. But if this menu is not avail under your TV menus then the convergence has failed and needs to be fixed. If that is the case you can get parts and repair instructions from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Below are more details for both items. Also, complete repair kits with instructions and repair support are avail from site such as www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• 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.
• TV shuts off after powering on. The power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some pics of convergence problems.





SOLUTION #1

What you will need to do is convergence. You can get a repair kit from TvRepairKits.com . It includes replacement parts,step by step instructions, support, etc.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

SOLUTION

What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from TvRepairKits.com . It includes replacement coolant,step by step instructions, support, etc.

hello!
If convergence in your TV went out suddenly and severely, there is nothing you can "adjust". That's a parts failure, convergence amplifiers I.C. chip(s) went south. Needs repair! Period! Minor alignments could be done by applying "flash focus" or "manual convergence" off "menu", if available.Some models have "flash" only option. Anyway, make sure there is no large metal structures near the front of TV or large speakers nearby. that could convergence to go out. Try not to play with any adjustments, if severe convergence problem. you won't be able to fix it right and will corrupt memory settings for "flash" option.
thanks,
Alex.

Check the convergence settings if necessary, try to check the bulb cause sometimes is getting weak. If you want to replace the bulb don't forget to reset the lamp hour meter. Let me know your feedback. Good day and God bless. Hope it helps.

No,this tv don't have a projection bulb inside,it used CRTS tubes like R,G,B guns technology.The tv problems u are having it is call convergence problems,it is dead.The tv convergence board it dead or dying that why tv have R,G,B colors lines misalignments,have colors shadows picture or have 3D pictures look alike.The tv convergence board must require changes like 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all of it resistors too.To fix the tv convergence board to solved the tv picture convergence problems.The tvs Shops will cost u like $300-350 for parts and labors.

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...

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

This sounds like convergence output IC problem. convergence board would have to be removed - remove and replace 2 STK IC's and check the surrounding resistors. Shops usually $200-$400 Be sure to vote/rate me if this helped Thanks!

the problem is the convergance and would need to have the amps replaced. may be some resistors as well. the repair may cost $350.00 or so. there is no bulb inside just three CRTs which are no longer available for your set.

use the advanced options page and reset the factor blue and red convergence defaults then do re apply the auto color defaults color at first it seemed very red (which is good because red was the missing factor in the green picture) but after reseting all the color and tints to the normal ranges I then reset the color auto correct again and all seems fine.
