The colors are distorted and it seems like the only colors that really show are blue, green, and red. When you turn the TV on you can see blue, green, and red lines across the screen. The picture also looks concaved. To kind of sum it all up the picture looks like a 3D movie!

This problems is not the lamp problems.This problems is call convergence problems.The colors R,G,B mis alignmrnent, have ghost picture or 3D pictures.The tv convergence board,the 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors are dead.These parts nust be change in the convergence board to solved the convergence problems.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

Hello, please replace the PTC resistor. It is positioned at the primary side of mains converter. Best regards, Arpi

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projeciton sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.






Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the settings menu then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move RED and BLUE in all directions - up, down, left, and right. And you should be able to get the grid straight.

If you can't move them in all directions or cant move them far enough your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Note: If you TV has as flash focus or magic focus button only try pressing the button. If it fails to fix the convergence your need to fix it. See below for a fix

CONVERGENCE SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses.
This is a a fairly easy DIY job if you are handy and can follow directions. You can get complete repair kits from TvRepairKits.com or click here. They have put together DIY repair kits that include the OEM parts and step by step photo instructions for each repair. If you are not handy or can't follow directions we would suggest calling a shop.

Convergence is dead.Know how to solders?Replaced 2 convergence ICS and some or all it resistors.Tries websites Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com to repair it ur self.The shop will cost U $300 for parts and labors.

the problem is at the crt base .there r three red,blue n green o/put.verify if there is dry in the soldering n check the red cathode voltage it must b around 150 .if not then check the resistor that feeds the red o/put.it could b 12 to 15k. all crt have 3 driver color red blue n green,whenever one driver not working the color changes.that wat happened to ur tv now i do not know wat model u have.the drivers may b transistors or now its ic that r being used like tda 6103q.best of luck

i dont know

Color issues are harder to solve without seeing the problem. It sound like the red amplifier on the crt board is bad. Is there any red in the picture at all? If not, that will be you problem

it can be replaced with a t0220 stile case dioded 220k ohm go to nte look up and do a search on the rca part # 259638 search the web for the part.

can you post a picture of what the picture looks like? I may be able to help if I can see what the picture is actually doing.

You might have "color filter" settings. Turn the digital filters off. Here is what manual at p72 says. "You can take pictures using digital filters. The filters consist of color filters such as red, blue and green, a soft filter that produces a fuzzy effect. Color filters Eight colors, black-and-white, sepia, red, pink, violet, blue, green and yellow, are provided for the color filters. When you select a color filter in the Digital Filter mode, the display on the LCD monitor is filtered with the selected color, and the pictures are taken in that color."
