There is an option in the user menu on the tv. Using either the remote or control panel on the front of the tv, press MENU then select SETUP. After you choose SETUP go to the 3rd column with the 3 icons. Here you can adjust the red or blue color or reset the convergence back to factory default.

After a few years the set will begin to show increasing problems with the convergence settings. When you can no longer adjust either red or blue horizontally or vertically an IC replacement will be needed. Your set uses (1) SANYO stk393-110 and you want to make sure it's SANYO and not a knock off brand as those usually fail prematurely.

If you have attempted to adjust convergence through the menu feature on you TV then may need to change the STK chips in your TV. Take a look at this video to see if you just need and adjustment or chip replacement.

My 55" WS Mitsubishi projection

The convergence is out, and the convergence ICs' would have to be canged on convergence board, and you are looking a a repair bill between 300-400, and if it was mine for the year that it is I would not lay any money into it, Just buy a new LCD, take care.

Yellow and blue shadowing, double image

It a 100% convergence problems.Convergence problems very easy diagnose.The picture look like 3D,colors lines don't lines up.Fuzzy,out of focus.Convergence controls don't work to lines up any colors cross.
WS-55511 uses a single convergence IC chip---a STK-393-110.
IF convergence is off and will not adjust it needs along with any of the 3.9 ohm resistors that protect it to be replaced.
What happens in these and most projection sets is the chip is mounted on a large metal heat sink with fins to keep it cool----a white grease is applied to the back of the chip to quickly transfer heat--after some years the grease dries out from the heat and the chip fails.
Considering you can buy the IC on Ebay for about 14 dollars plus shipping (I can tell you the best seller there to look for) if you or someone you know can do the repair you can save the set and a LOT of money.
Most shops are going to get 200-300 for this repair

Good Day;

Sounds like you have bad Convergence Output IC > 267P155010 > STK393-110, replace and it will correct the problem TV uses only ONE, make sure all resistors look good in the circuit around IC.
Good Luck, big IRISH.
