I have a 53" Hitachi Rear Projection TV, Everything works except the color. The 3 color projection lamps are functioning and all of the tv's focusing features appear to be functioning as well. It has a beautiful picture and sound, just black and white. Oddly enough, the colors work individually in the digital menus just not together. Does not appear to be a convergence issue Hitachi Ultravision, Model Number 53SBX59B

Projection TV sets are known to have two common problems. The first problem that is common to these sets is convergence failure. When this happens the TV will usually look 3D, Wavy/Distorted, etc. It may also shutdown and blink an error code.

The second common problem with Projection TV sets is dull video, halos around objects, white looking video, or red overpowers the screen. This is commonly caused by the fluid in the lens being clouded overs.

I have a kp-51ws500, that comes on the colors get wierd then it shuts off, any ideas? Lamp?

Not Lamp, it is problem of convergence output ICs failure. KP-51WS500 is rear projection tv that has 3 color tubes to make picture, this tv does not have Lamp as light source in DLP tv.
Replace convergence output ICs to fix the issue. Local tv repair shop will help you if you have no experience in electronics stuff fix.
Thanks.

Tv will not turn on

If you hear a clicking noise that sounds like the ballast trying to power on the lamp, but nothing happens, the lamp may be faulty.You can go to http://www.discount-merchant.com/
to purchase a quality lamp.

Picture is doubled and color has pink tint

The inherent problem with rear projection TV's.

It sounds like the projectors need balanced (or a lamp is failing) and aligned. The alignment can inadvertently be changed when the TV is moved, and seldom "just happens".

Any decent TV repairman can perform the required service. I would shop locally for one.

Broken screens on 53'' Hitachi rear-projection TV

I think it would likely work if you trimmed it evenly around the sides in order to maintain the central position. Focus may have to be adjusted but thats all.

This is a very common failure on Projection sets. Its called a convergence problem.

You may have one or more of the following symptoms.
  • Screen looks 3D
  • Colors don't line up
  • One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
  • Screen is bowed or warped.
  • No Audio / No Video - Makes Chirping Sounds
