We just picked up a 55 in hitachi tv for free. The problem is there is a red blur in the upper left hand corner and bottom right corner. Any idea why?

Your convergence is fried go to ebay and order this item number 130475189383 copy n paste and put in ebay search.You will also need a delsolering iron, a soldering iron, some kind of skill soldering and patience.

I HAVE AN OLDER HITACHI 53" PROJECTION TV THAT IS BLURRY IN THE UPPER RIGHT AND LOWER LEFT CORNERS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE TEXT IS OVER LAPED WHEN PLAYING MY PS3. IT MAKES IT HARD TO READ. THERE IS NOT ANY PROBLEM WITH COLOR, JUST BLURRY. HOW CAN I FIX

I just had the convergence replaced and have a great picture

TV shows large red spot in middle of tv when dark show are on, you can see it more.  Now blue spots on upper right side too.  Spend way to much on this tv to have these kinds of problems only after 3 yrs.

Replace 120k resistor on the blue video output module. Resistor is located next to the blue video output transistor (has heat sink). If you replace it with a 1/2 watt carbon type, it will probably never happen again. I recomend the same resistor on the red and green video boards at the same time.

average price for the repair is around 400.00, sounds like there is an extra charge because of the distance involved.

Replace convergence IC's.
RE-check alignment
