WHY DOES MY TV LOOK LUKE DOUBLE AND TRIPPLE VISION

A picture that looks 3d etc in this model is usually bad convergence IC.

This can be a do it yourself repair but involves getting at the two chips and being able to solder--I will assist if you want to try.

Total parts cost on EBAY (I use a seller there) will be under 30 dollars total.

Repair takes on a average about one hour.

See attached photos of typical convergence problem and what the chips look like, yours should use two of the STK-392-150 CHIPS.

If this told you something you did not know rate this solution as very helpful as I do this here for free.

Hitachi 51f500 picture looks 3d

If you go into the customer menu and select convergence and red or blue are skewed and will not adjust---you have a convergence circuit problem.

51f500 uses two of the STK-392-110 OR STK-392-150 convergence IC chips. Both are the same but the 150 chip is a longer lasting part than the 110 chip. Both chips and any bad protect resistors around them need to be replaced and the set adjusted with the Hitachi remote.

Most of the time just both chips need to be replaced and the set adjusted.

Considering you can buy all the parts needed for under 30 dollars on Ebay if you or someone you know can do this repair you can save a lot of money--most shops are going to get 300 or more. I can give you general instructions and tell you the best seller to get the chips from on Ebay---I buy the ones I use there.

Let me know if you have questions or need advice-I am here to help people.

Convergence problem?

You have a convergence problem. Here are some of the most common symptoms.
 
Screen looks 3D
One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu. 
Screen is bowed in but stationary.

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem. 

>>>Solution<<<< 

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. 

Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kit for your exact model. The kit includes a photo instruction guide, original Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, etc. Everything you need to fix it yourself.
