The tv has three images in the primary colors instead of one picture. How can it be fixed? I can't tell the model because it is against a wall and too big to move. It is about 5 years old.
So this is a rear projection TV.
Chances are the tubes are out of alignment. When cleaning or anything never move the tubes as it will be hell to get em back properly.
In the back you can take off the rear panel and move the tubes to partially re-align the picture.
This is generally followed by a model specific procedure using the remote to bring up alignment grids to finalize the picture alignment.
The reason for the 3 colours in the picture are that the rear projection units use Red, Green and Blue tubes to create the one colour picture.
All in all... When I messed mine up it took about 2 hours to set it straight again.
Now I just have to fix my flashing screen problem and i'm set.

Hi, I asked my cousin to look at the posts. He priced stuff out at over $100 and a repairman. Which already put it out of range for the time being
PS. It's against a wall and we couldn't get behind it to get the numbers. We'd need someone to come in and move it. I'm just a grandma. Maybe this summer. Thanks for your help.

need access to rear for repair............................T.
