I have blue around the edges of my hitachi 55vs69

Sounds lke a light engine problem. An internal lens may have broken or come loose.

hi mine has the same and i was told that it is the light engine. it won't get any worse but also wont get better unless replaced. they are about $600.00 i was told. might wanna check ebay see if they have them cheaper and if you trust yourself to replace it go for it good luck gina

A blue (or other color) band or area of the screen usually means a burnt optical light engine but a photo would tell me more.

I found this webpage that may help you with the service menu codes

You have a bad light engine or optical block. Do a search online with the model number to find price and availability.

I have a Hitachi Ultravision. 55VS69A. It has worked wonders but now there is a blue screen in the center of the tv. Should I just replace the bulb. thank you.

Your blue picture tube is brighter than the other tubes. Try to do a convergence on it. If that doesn't do it, it sounds like you blue picutre tube is getting ready to blow. It is the same principle like a light bulbs. You know how they get bright and in a next few days they blow. That stands true to a picture set.

The Light Engine is causing this.

yes the light engine needs replacement.but also check out the bulb.because many a times both get faulty when light engine has problem.

Hitachi: phone us soon as you can thank you
