Peoples faces blurred and turn red and green. could it be color wheel?

give it a really good hover out mate, bulb everything that might clear it up a little
if you can get into the services menu look for self-focus setting,or if not look for red/green/blue realigning setting.

Have you examined the color wheel this set should have?

look for (remove lamp as it faces that) any segments broken or missing.

A color wheel also can have a high pitched or fan like sound but not always.

check the wheel first.

If its a DLP it may have a color wheel which could be your problem (the colors will change etc)

Color wheels move at high speed and if slow down set will shut down.

The wheel if there will face the lamp. If often if failing will make a high pitched whine or a fan like sound.

Hi Shirley.

As said in the previous comment the problem is convergence. Usually the two convergence ICs must be replaced. The part is not expensive but there is some labor involved in replacement. The repair is usually charged between $150 and $200.

Hi,Yes your problem sounds like the DMD board.This is how it works: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/dlp1.htm Basically the light of the lamp goes through a tunnel that carries a color wheel(rotating disc with a gamma of colors that creates the colors on your tv)then the light of the lamp goes through the DMD board which is a chip composed of around 2 million pixels that creates the images and colors.When it starts to fail it will create black bars,pixelation,color distortion or white dots on screens. Here's a video that will help you find where the DMd chip is located : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jr_9A5Xd2Q Have a blessed one!

sounds like the linear adjustment is out of whack.....most projection type tvs, projection, lcd, plasma, have to be correctly aligned so that the color grids overlap each other to properly display the correct hue being created. you'd need the service code to re-adjust it, or have it serviced. also possible that one of the color grids is bad, but if you have all three (red,blue,green) colors showing on the entire screen area i would doubt it

u check rgb could be transistor at the tube there problem.1 is red ,2 is blue 3 is green and u check area blue transistor.or may be your board up there at the tube need to be solder back again ok.dry join..Be careful and make sure turn off the power switch before u do it.Only expert can do it.If u do not know how to read meters reading....ok

if you have hd cable or satellite box make sure the component cables are properly connected(green red and blue) and matching same color in source (cable box or satellite and tv as well)
also make sure in tv menu that color and tint are 50%

Yes it is repairable. One of two things is wrong. The color wheel is going bad or the DMD board is going bad. These are the most common repairs needed for a Toshiba. I hope this will help.

green overpowering makes me think you have a crt problem. or even a bad blue or red crt.
