Yes it can be fixed. Everything you are saying points to a problem with the digital video processing module and or associated power supplies that run it. Even though this is a "digital HDTV". It still makes it's picture using older analog methods (electron beam scanning on a CRT projects the image). Sometimes the digital video IC's would simply need to be resoldered. The big question is although it is repairable, is it cost effective. This is a 51" CRT projector. There are 50" flat panel tv's available now that can outperform it for $500-600 brand new. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s when I used to repair these full time, the repair would cost you around $350 including service charge to come to your house. Back then this tv cost around $1500+ so it was usually worth repairing, but that is not the case today. That is the rule, but There are a few exceptions (ie the guy who cuts a giant hole in his wall to recess the tv inside his wall for a "custom" installed look is forced to choose between repairing a 15yr old tv (your tv dates back around 2002 if memory is correct) and heavy construction)

that is a common problem with that model you will need the v26 power pwb repair kit and the V26 FMT pwb repair kit. You can get both kits at the following link which includes the replacement capacitors and instructions on where the capacitors are located. Heres the link.

Here is the correct and official service manual on the unit. Check all of the diagnostics first, then go into the service menu and validate your settings.

your Convergence IC chips and resistors arre failing you need to replace them
below is a general disscussion post for a Philips TV which will help you to understand your situation and what you might need usally you will need (2) IC convergence Chips and usally (12) Resisitors what have to be soldered onthe the board after you remove the old ones. this fix usally cost you to do it yourself $30, to have a repair man do it cost around $300-450 a new board if avalible usally costs $250-300
Sorry, for the bad new I hope you have a friend that knows how to work on circuit boards...
good luck,
below is a general post about a philips TV Convergence problem you can read about keep inmind your CHIP and RESISTORS will proball be different type....
you need 2 Convergence IC's STK392-120's (120's and 150's will work) of course order 2 of the same type I'm using replacement 150's they allow for a little higher heat and were cheaper ALSO you need to replace the 12 resistors with 6.8 ohm metal film resistors, make sure they are metal film! don’t skimp out here I did and then they blew and fried my IC's and I had to replace everything again!
Great reference link that I posted pictures on, check out page 3

What you need:
(2) STK392-120 OR STK392-150 IC chips
(12) 6.8 Ohm Metal Film resistors
set of star screw drivers
15 watt pencil solder pencil, DO NOT use a high watt iron you will fry the surface mounted item.
good leaded solder, and flux
SOURCE: red blinking light
If the red lights comes on and stays on, you will need to replace the lamp. However, if the red light blinks repeatedly, your internal motherboard was either fried during a recent power surge, or the circut board will need recalibrating. In short, you will need to contact a cert. technician to re-initialize your set. It may be more cost-efficient to purchase new flat-screen plasma set. Good luck with your investment.
SOURCE: New lamp, now color variation, dull picture and overheating
it sounds like if your tv is a dlp the colorwhele is stuck
probibly because a after market or faulty bulb has melted it
get serviced imedietly
