Picture is bowed and colors are not aligned

This tv have a problems known as a convergence problems,it dead.The tv have colors lines R,G,B mis alignment,have picture colors shadows or 3D picture look alike.The tv convergence board have dead 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors.These parts must be replaced on the tv convergence board to solved the tv picture convergence problems.The shop,will cost u like $300-350 for parts and labors.

SOUNDS like you have bad filtor capacitors in 9v and 5v circuits. J.D.W.

Sorry you are having trouble.
This is very common problem.
Do you feel comfortable looking inside with the power off?
Most likely the lenses and or mirrors need to be cleaned.
For the mirrors we use Windex or similar cleaner
For the lenses I recommend lens cleaner from a camera shop
Yes this worth fixing. If you dont feel comfortable doing the cleaning yourself just call a serviceman

Projection sets have two very common problems.

The first common problem is convergence

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...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped or bowed
*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 is a very common failure on Projection TV sets.

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

as long as there is no bowing in the picture and the color does not want to move then there is probably just a bad resistor on the convergence IC that controls the color alignment , thus the resistors would have to be tested to find the low valued resistor on the IC

Good Day;

Your TV has "poor" connections on the Convergence IC's. Please get repaired B4 you have total part failure and more costly repair.

Good Luck, big IRISH.

You will find a very good guide here and here to fix your TV.
This might not be a DIY if you do not feel comfortable. The repair shops charge about $350.00 to $400.00 for this type of repair.

call tech and suggest to balance your screens ..they will know the procedure.
