Red & green lines

TV has worked fine for 4 yrs. Turned it on the other day and there are green and red shadows at upper and lower parts of screen. At top and bottom screen is curved in at center

    I read somewhere it is possible to replace these resistors and other parts yourself. Cost of parts is 40.00. I thought I would receive a fix not an estimate ?

Sounds like you have hardware failure in the convergence circuit. Some combination of the IC's, fuses, and/or resistors has failed. Repair cost is $250-$400 parts & labor

Panasonic viera

Try replacing your video cable, if that doesn't work, try using a different input on the T.V. If that doesn't fix it, you may be out of luck with out an extended warranty.

Problems with my Mitsubishi hd1080

If the Blue lines are blurs or shadows, then your Convergence IC's are going or gone bad.
I have the same TV - it will be 4yrs. old in Dec. Mine started with Blue lines & shadows, then Red, Blue, Green Shadows. This is caused from over heating. The Convergence IC's have to be replaced.
I have had 3 TV Repair shops all quote me a price from $350. to $400. to repair. They all said 4 years is the usual life time for these IC's.
Replace the STK932-110amps with STK394-250-E or STK392-150 for greater reliability.
Use only Original Replacement Parts, there are some cheaper but won't last and can't take the heat.
If you are a "do-it-yourselfer" here is a link with the directions and pics.
