Image too low on screen

This TV is fine except that the image is too low on the screen. Such that the crawl on the bottom of an ESPN screen is mostly not visible. How do I fix that?

SOURCE: Philips 46-inch Rear Projection with bowed image?? slight distortion


You have a convergence problem. Here are some of the most common symptoms. 

Screen looks 3D
One or more colors can't be adjusted when when using the convergence menu. 
Screen is bowed in but stationary.

Solution: 
You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kit for your exact model. The kit inlcludes a photo instruction guide, original Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, etc. Everything you need to fix it yourself. Its an easy fix.

Samsung 5271f. Picture usually great but sometimes when an image with horizontal lines appears (e.g. crawl at the bottom of the screen) picture jumps and flickers. Reverts back after crawl disappears.

If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Line faults & possible causes to LCD & Plasma screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent. Faults to all LCD & Plasma screen are similar, irrespective of its brand and screen size.

Cant change channels with remote or side of tv - sound works fine . stuck on espn - no other channels work (i quess being stuck on espn is fine but this is an office tv for thr girls while they are eating...

Your TV is most likely locked to that station because it doesn't have any other channels programmed in.

In the menu for the TV, run a channel scan. This will take probably 30-45 minutes for most TVs and will program the available channels into the TV so that they become available.

Screen display mode

Because the broadcaster is giving you the bars at top and bottom there is nothing you can do except use the different aspect or screen formats that are on your TV. Please take a few moments to rate my answer. Thanks....

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.
