In your tv there is a light engine ballast.that light engine ballast controls the colour /picture quality.that engine is got faulty and that needs replacement.if the picture with distorted also looks dim then there is a lamp that also needs replacement with lightengine ballast.but if the picture is distorted but bright then no lamp replacement only light engine ballast.
this is very costly issue to get replaced.near to $350 plus the service charge of the technician who replaces the component.
thank you for using fixya.

Top and bottom of TV screen collapsing.

You may have a convergence problem (I will attach some typical photos).

When it does it go into menu and call up convergence grid--if lines skewed and colors mixed it is convergence. This model I think uses two of the STK-392-560 chips and both would have to be replaced if it is your problem.

I can provide more info if you find this is what you have.

TV is approx. 10 years old. Picture has started

This is a model first made in 2001--when it does it go into the customer menu and select CONVERGENCE--what you are looking for is is red or blue skewed and will not adjust?


If this is the case I can tell you what is needed based on the model number you provided.

My 50 something inch tv is bleeding and the some parts of the screen is cut off the screen and i dont know how to fix it

I hope this is not a Samsung rear projector. However it require a Technician to repair it. It depend which branch and model of PTV it could be convergence output or convergence drive or worse case 1 of picture was leaked out the cooling oil and damaged convergence control
Good luck

Distorted Color and geometry of Picture

I've posted this solution several times but here goes. Try setting up the convergence through the menu by accessing the convergence setup menu. If this fails to work you have a bad digital convergence box and need a tech to replace it. About $60 to $100 fix.
