Red lines when watching DVD

Samsung HCN653W 65" Widescreen I am getting red wavy lines when watching DVD. I have tried everything I can think of and am getting pretty annoyed!!!!! I have changed component cables and even switched out DVD players with the same results. Is it the TV? or should I try a progressive scan DVD player? Watching tv does not have the lines, I only get this problem when watching movies via DVD.......please help!! thanks.

Regardless of what inputs you use when the lines appear, that symptom suggests that the Proscan Module Samsung p/n#BP95-00140T is probably defective. That board is a plug and play replacement but there are no short-cuts to testing it to be certain that's the problem or the entire problem. That said, the top of the metal shield lifts off and the board can be pulled with no greater skill than a first year technician. The board is $184.25 plus shipping from Vance Baldwin - so if you're feeling lucky you could try this one yourself... Just be careful. If you have ANY questions drop me a note at [email protected] and include the model number. Hope this helps Bill Good luck

My Samsung HCN653W 65-Inch Widescreen Projection HD-Ready TV has a 3d like picture when it has been on a hour it goes back to normal

All projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video or dead set) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both.

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. In some cases the TV will also not show any video. 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, wavy, or has a shadow or shadows
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.

I have a samsung 65in hdtv rear projection and the colors dont line up it looks like triple vision what could it be

The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony,Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,Pioneer Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.

Red/green drooping L top corner

i have found when samsangs convergence are out of range perfect focus will fail. if the are out of range a technician will try to adjust the set in service mode. store these values and then this will be the base for the perfect focus. If the set has a bad convergence cuircit then they have to be replaced.
