The words on the screen is doubled or trippled.

My name is Leon Heyward. The problem that I have with my 53" toshiba projection screen is, when I'm looking at T.V on the bottom of the screen the t.v shows the cannel that i'm watching, espn, animal planet etc. I'll see espn in 3 colors, pink, green and blue, "Moreover" the screen picture is a tad blurry. The T.V is in great shape concidering 10 years. Please give me some advice on correcting this condition. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Go to the picture control menu and turn the color to minumum so that you are watching a black & white picture. Do this to determine if the color offset affects the overall screen or just the lower corner. If the center is off, go to the convergence adjustment menu and align the red and blue onto the green as described in the owners manual. Some models also allow you to align the outer edges as well. If the bottom is still bad you may have a problem in the convergence circuit. If the outlines are not seriously bowed or distorted a minor convergence toutchup by a qualified technician should correct the problem, otherwise parts are involved and the repair is considered major.

53 inch projection tv mirror broken can i have a regular mirror cut to size and work

A regular mirror will not work as the mirror has special construction; What you can do and our shop has done this is find a used one bigger and have it cut down to size.

If it is Toshiba you can also call ANDREWS ELECTRONICS in LA (they have 800 number) and see if original mirror is available from Toshiba. There are also some sites on the internet and if you google the model number with the word mirror you will find them

Be extra careful if mirror was broken as pieces will be very sharp.

Entire front screen unit will have to be removed to get at it and or replace it.

Let me know if you have questions.

Sounds like you need to check the convergence. You can in the MENU under PICTURE go down to the CONVERGENCE to make the adjustment, set the RED and BLUE

Sony color rear video projection, Sn 9720391, model KP65WS510. Looks like 3D without glasses. Red double words and pict are shadowy

Common problems with rear screen projections. Either you need to refocus the alignment, or you need to have the Convergence IC's replaced. In your owners manual, it should tell you how to refocus the alignment.

Panasonic Rear Projection Screen TV

you need new convergence chips, there are 2, part number stk 392-110, also you must check for burnt resistors, if you don't have very good soldering skills at least, you will need a tv repairman.

Double picture & color problem

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,Akai2_bing.gif,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...

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*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

My toshiba tn61x81 projection tv

have you tried the convergence option in the menu? i believe it is under "picture". this allows for nine different sections of the screen to be adjusted when projection images get out of whack.
