I am not really sure what has happened, but all of the sudden my tv has gone completely out of focus and the red hues seem to have taken over the picture. At first I thought it may be a convergence problem and tried to use the convergence feature from the menu. (The screen is so out of focus that I couldn't read the menu options and just guessed that at where I was at by comparing the highlighted box to where it was in the diagrams in the owners manual). While running the convergence, the red wouldn't adjust and a large red ball would appear in the top left corner. Any ideas??? I could really use some help on this one.

In that case does this color problem occur on all inputs? If not then please make sure that the connections, especially the red connector, are clean and tight
First of all Check Flash focus is working or not?(Flash focus should finish 1 full cycle)
If Flash focus not working you will have a error code in your screen.
If any error message or wont compelte full cycle you have problem with convergence amplifier IC
It could be one of your IC bad along with Couple of small Value resistor.
The tv has 2 focus adjustments for each tube, mechanical and electrical.
1. Mechanical focus is set by looking at screen from back (through inspection plate on back of most samsungs) and rotating the lens assembly on CRT. loosen wing nut and turn lens assembly to go through focus and back to best position.
Put convergence pattern on screen and manually misadjust bottom red and green lines convergence so they can be seen through inspection hole.
With back cover of TV off you can usually reach your hand up beside the lens assembly to loosen the wing nut then rotate to adjust. Green is in the middle. The focus will be obvious when you rotate and look
When you are finished make sure the foam dust protector is not over any of the lens assemblies and the wing nut is tight.
2. Electrical focus - located at front of unit. the front grille/speaker cover is removed and maybe a cover over the front crt inspection hole.
In the inspection hole there is a black plastic "Focus/screen adjust Assembly" with 2 rows of 3 controls.
One row is focus and the other is screen. The middle controls are for green with R/B on either side. Usually the controls are labelled as "focus" and "screen". You want to adjust the focus controls, one for each color. Look for the focus or screen label imprinted in the plastic. Don't play with the screen settings.
With the same misadjusted convergence pattern you can see a red, blue and green line. Adjust green focus and watch green line for best focus. Do same for other 2.
Screen adjustments are very exact and delicate. The easiest way to deal with them is to turn color off in Customer adjust menu. Put any color tone adjustments in the middle (low, med, high, put at med).
You should have a b/w picture if there are no crt or other color related faults. If it is close to B/W leave screens alone.
If the pix is too green, then the green screen setting must be reduced a small amount. Do not play with these adjustments as most TV repairrers have a difficult time adjusting them.
If focus adjustments don't help then focus control or CRT may be defective. Needs expert to determine.
1)Please verify your model # from back of set......
2)Reduce the color to minimum or tune in a black & white chan.
you should see gray, not yellow hue
3)Remove lower front grill cover & access panel.....locate the
focus / screen control block...turn blue screen control slightly
CW......red,green and blue must mix to equal gray
