Zenith project color tv advanced video imagining

My rear projection was doing the same thing. I have a mitsubishi and went into the video/audio set up. When I clicked on video it brought up brightness, tint, color, etc... Not sure if yours is set up the same.

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 more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Usually this happens when the Light Engine has gone bad, and I should say this is a common issue with Projection TVs. There are three tubes/mini LCDs inside your TV- green/yellow, blue and red. When the set heats up over time of usage the screens tend to break resulting in leaking color everywhere. The cost to get this fixed by a professional should be around $300 depending on the parts that needs to be replaced. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Thanks

You have defective Convergence IC's. It's best to have a service company verify and do the repair if you wish. Normally runs about $250.00

I have Zenith D.V.D V.C. R. Recorders The v.c.r. is working the D.V.D. I put Memorex D.V.D read no D.V.D i put Sony D.V.D REAd no D.V.D i like why no working The model no XBR 716 120-60 hz 24w Service no X br716 Ul File no E 225515

Call the dish network as they will fix you up for free rather than lose you as a customer.

If you have the remote, go to the setup screen and move the picture. Converge has nothing to do with where the picture sits but, where the red, blue & green dots land. All you should see are pure white dots. There should be absolutely NO color ghost anywhere on the screen. If so, you need a bar / dot generator to set the convergence to center the dots.

Sounds like someone has put a magnet near it or picture projection from rear may have moved is the picture fine other than tinting?

use the advanced options page and reset the factor blue and red convergence defaults then do re apply the auto color defaults color at first it seemed very red (which is good because red was the missing factor in the green picture) but after reseting all the color and tints to the normal ranges I then reset the color auto correct again and all seems fine.
