Question about Panasonic PT-47WX49 47" Rear Projection Television
I have a PT-47WX49 rear projection Panasonic TV that is 4.5 years old. When I powered it up yesterday, the picture came on with a nonuniform distorted appearance. In general, the picture appears to be misaligned with a blue shadow on the entire picture. In addition, there is a blue semicircular area at the bottom of the picture with a red semicircular shadow above the blue area. It is impossible to align the blue and red using the convergence functions as different parts of the picture are out of alignment in differing amounts. Finally the geometry of the picture appears to be distorted in the blue and red semi-circular areas at the bottom of the picture.
I've posted this solution several times but here goes. Try setting up the convergence through the menu by accessing the convergence setup menu. If this fails to work you have a bad digital convergence box and need a tech to replace it. About $60 to $100 fix.

I have the panasonic pt-61sx30cb. In addition to the distorted color and geometry of the picture, it seems the television cannot stop from switching between 4:3 and 16:9. It constantly flickers like it cant choose which format. then it straightens up. It also will stretch the picture when its acting up. example if im reading subtitles they stretch right out of view.
when i turn on the tv the whole picture is blurry and everything is out of place
I bought this 53SBX a few yeas ago, it has the red distortion as yours. Magic focus could not fix it. Can we adjust some button to fix the problem?
And if it is, then where ?
HItachi 42 inch, blue hozintal line sags when moving from left to right, distorting entire picture. gives a double image. TV is about 5 years old.
i have a projrction screen with the convergence out of adjustment and the menu does not have a adjustment selection to adjust
I have a phillips\magnavox model# 60p8241 57" in general the picture appears to be misaligned with a blue and red color and the tint seems to be real light. I have adjusted the color just a little but the overall picture is still not clear.
when aligning the blue moves fine but the red will not move side to side
Same problem. Distorted vertical geometry. So bad you cannot read the menu if you try. Only about 3 years old and put in a brand new replacement lamp just a month ago after a month long warning that the lamp was about out. Cost of the lamp was $225. This will be my last JVC. Model is JVC 52z575. Called the cable guy who had me restart the cable setup to no avail.

I have the Panasonic rear projection model TX-51P400H and am experiencing very similar problems. The convergence cannot be adjusted successfully with the remote and I still end up with a best result of a reasonable image on the centre of the screen with the three images (red, blue and green) on the perimeters of the screen. A technician friend replaced the brightness capacitor as his past experience on crt tvs indicated that this can effect convergence, but this fix was unsuccessful.
my picture on my tv in red blue in color
I cannot adjust the lens given in the crosshairs. the lens will move vertically but not horizontally. The picture suddenly went out of focus and I have fixed it before but the lens will not move now, see first sentence.
I have the same problem with my Sony projection TV. It looks like your wearing 3D glasses. I was told to have someone look at it it was $100 plus if it is the convergence it'll be about another $350. Any ideas on a eay fix? Sony had me try a few things, but it didn't work.
distorted picture on outside edges of screen. Pink stripe on rightside outer edge. have reset convergence and problem stays the same
pt-51hx41ce - multiple image. try to replce stk392-110 convergence amps. Not able to take it out. How to replace. Could you please advise.
Same problem, the conversion did not work. Not only do I still have this blue wave at the bottom of my screen, like 3D but now all the colors are off. I cannot line up the x's on the conversion screen. It is worse now

I have a similar issue with a Magnavox 60P8241 60". It appears to have a focus problem. is there something that can be done without changing out a whole board?
Picture is distorted and only filling up a portion of the screen. It is a magnavox model 7P6033W102. Please help
