I am having a problem with the green, I can not converge the blue and the red to the green. The green curves out of alignment. Auto focus give an Auto Focus error. When I do a manual color convergence the red and blue crosshairs are aligned the each other horiz, verically, and polarly ie. not rotated relative to each other, but the green crosshair is way above and rotated clockwise 15 to 20 degrees relative to the red and blue crosshairs. Note I ajusted the red and blue cross hairs towards the green crosshair verically and horiz but there was not enought ajustment. This was done via the owners manual procedure page 21 and 22 intitled "adjusting the color convergence". The problem seemed to happen today. I had turn the tv on so that my HDD could record a program then I muted the tv while I was out for three hours. I came back and the picture had red, blue, and green highlights. Any text had three disstinct ghosts....a red, blue and a rotate green ghost. As far as I know nobody mess with the tv.....Help

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both. Repair kits with instructions are also avail from www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

Screen looks 3D
Colors don't line up
One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
Screen is bowed or warped.
TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.
