Our tv is just out of warranty and it just started acting up. It appears to bend the top and bottom of the screens towards the center and split the beams. I was fast enough to take a picture but cannot figure out how to post it. This is an intermittent problem currently and has been happening for months. It tend to do it more when just turned on, but will do it in the middle of a movie too. I am guessing it is a board problem because it is intermittent. I took the front cover off today as it was doing it and could not hear any clicking on the boards or anything that would point me in the right direction. If you want to see the pictue of the screen, email me at starvingpilot/at/junodot/com and I will send screen shot of my problem, Thanks in advance Midgetwidget
Your problem is a common one. It is a convergence problem. There are two IC's that stand up on a heat sink, that will start with STK that has to be replaced. Once these are replaced, there will be some convergence alighnment that has to be done.If you know how to work on solid state electronics, replace the IC's. If you dont , please dont tinker with this set, and call a trained tech to service this for you as a TV set is no place for a handi-person to be experimenting with. good luck

I just wanted to follow up by saying that when the TV does this, the colors are seperated as well and don't look in alignment. The letering will have ghosts with all the colors represented.
Here is a picture
This picture is taken and condensed to be loaded on this website. As you can see the lettering is bowed. You are looking at the left side of the screen. Both sides are pinched towards the middle. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Techman,
Your the man! That fixed it. Thanks!
