It sounds like Multi-Link Screen is on. Which is good if you are viewing or switching 2 tv stations at the sane time. One with active audio, depending on the focus. Im not sure what you have on remote control but usually you would go to Menu > Picture > Scroll down to Options then you shall see Multi-Link mode. On my remote, i prese down the center navigation button twice to turn this On and Off. I will verify later when I get home.

Sound like you may have picture in a picture turned on.

It would be helpful to know make and model of television and a photo of exactly what you are seeing.

SOURCE: big screen showing double and red ghost color

Go into your service menu and try to adjust the convergence, if it does not adjust, the IC's ( chips) are bad in that circuit. Call a local factory authorized dealer to service your tv. The cost should run around $450.00. Good luck.

SOURCE: sony KP-53XBR45 convergence

Hey, found the problem. Your Convergence IC chip went bad. Buy one at Bluestar International Components (bluestar-online.com) - order part number STK392-010 for 6.99. I've read that there are two in the system and replacing them both at same time is a good idea...so, order 2. Now, if you are handy, it will require you to open the back of the TV and solder out the old chip and replace with new. If not, then you might as well call a TV repair person and have them fix. However, every place I've called works on a minimum fee for "large screen TVs" - the cheapest I could find in Atlanta was $399 minimum service fee. So, I'm going to risk the home sodering job .... it's a 10 year old TV and as good as it's been to me, if I screw it up, I feel I've gotten my money out of it. Good luck with your repair. My parts are on order.

SOURCE: sony xbr-52in projection tv show double picture's

It sounds like a convergence problem. A fairly common reason for thisproblem is the convergence chips have failed. They are usually referredto as "STK" chips since the model number of these chips start with STK.I will put a link to another part of this site where someone has postedpictures and a link where to get the parts should you decide to fix ityourself. Look at Ecullier2012's posting. Jean's posted site will notfix this problem. Hope this helps you out. Let me know.

Hlo good mrng i have a led tv devant my problem is the picture is double or double image..

Sorry I can't advise you if the trouble is being caused by technical trouble inside your tv - I just wanted to mention, if you receive your signal via an antenna to be aware it is possible to receive the same signal a second time a small fraction of a second behind the first if it is being reflected from a nearby high building or similar. This condition produces a ghosting effect on the screen behind the main picture.

How do I set the picture to full screen?

What are you trying to watch? If you are looking at a cable TV box or DVD player through an HDMI input, you will have to adjust the settings in the cable box or DVD menus to match your tv's HDMI input capabilities.

Hi! I am experiencing the following three

Hi Rafael,

First of all thank you for posting your question here at Fixya.
Please confirm if the brand and model number above is correct.
Blinking of the the LED (yellow and blue) at the front panel indicating that the lamp door cover is not seated properly. This cover will engaged to a micro switch giving the signal to the processor, once it is in open position, the unit will not power up and will experienced that kind of blinking error code. Go back to the lamp door cover and ensure that it is properly seat-in.
3D, 2D, red/green/blue ghost on the picture and letters means that the convergence circuitry gone bad. Symptoms is not connected to the light engine. The faulty parts is the convergence chips(IC). This chips are mounted on the large aluminum heat sink and starts with STKXXXX-XX (X means number). The most common STK chips used on Projection TV's is the STK392-110. You have to replaced them both on the board to resolve the issue(red ghosting). It is necessary also to check the resistance value of the resistors around its circuitry using the multimeter. For more info how to repair a convergence problem, watch the video below.

Samsung 40" LED TV Display

Not familiar with this particular model of samsung LED TV, but ghosting and shadowing are usually an accepted manufacturer's defect.

If you're still under warranty or within 30 days of purchase, contact the company that sold you the TV or Samsung warranty department.

If you're out of warranty and you don't wish to deal with this, contact a TV repair shop. They will most likely tell you that it's not worth repairing and recommend you purchase a new TV.

We are getting ghost images and the color is not correct

I have red concave lines going across the screen, plus wording appears double like a ghosting effect, this is ongoing from the time the tv is turned on until it is turned off. This started 3 days ago. Is it time for a new tv, its 9 or 10 yrs old now.

My TV is showing a double picture

If the picture looks like a 3D one, the problem is a convergence issue. This can be as simple as poor connections at the pins of the convergence ICs or defective ICs. If you can solder you can probably fix this yourself. Please note that there are potentially dangerous high voltages inside the set even when unplugged.

If you wish to attempt the repair, please update this and I will provide additional details and instructions.
