Double image looks like a convergence issue

I have a 55-in mitsubishi projection TV. Occassionally, a double image appears of all letters, etc. I go into the advanced feature mode into convergence mode to reset and it seems to work, but then it happens again. Any help would be greatly appreciated

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.

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

Mitsubishi TV 1080 Gives green color and red (pink) color double images for every character and object. This is not LCD but rear projection 55 in TV.

It appears as though your convergance chips need to be replaced. If you can handle a soldering iron and are good an soldering, then you can handle this repair.

Go to this web site, and look up the kit for your tv. Your model numer is most likely going to start with WS. It can be found on the back of your TV, in the same area where all the connection ports are.

The picture is showing a double image and is distored.

The problem you are refering to is more than likely a convergence problem. The convergence circuit in your tv is controlled by an IC (integrated circuit) stk392-110 and it makes the 3 colors (red, blue, green) line up/converge together to create a clear picture. You'll know when this part needs to be replaced because the picture you see is 3d looking and possibly bowed on the top or bottom or on the sides in any or all 3 colors.

WS55711 mitsubishi RPS - Dec 2002

This sounds like your convergence correction amplifiers have malfunctioned. These Integrated Circuits often burn out after a few years (STK392-110) they can be replaced with a higher version (STK392-150) However it is important to have the biasing circuitry checked to make sure nothing has burnt out as a result of the ICs malfunctioning. If you have a background in electronics you can repair this problem with very little effort, however if you do not have a background in electronics, I would suggest that you have your TV serviced by a qualified TV technician.

 

I hope this helps,

 

Thank you,
