The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.
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,Akai,
Pioneer
Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get a convergenece repair kit with instructions from the links below.
