See lines in HD cable or DVD source images, also maybe a problem w/ color, see extra blue haze

No help on this yet eh?



Still have the issue... I don't think it's the convergence issue for me, I have seen the convergence problems w/ pics on other forums, and they have bowed lines in their red/green/blue and multi layer images, I don't have that problem.

I just have lighter images ghosting to the right over darker images and a loss of resolution (like maybe line doubler isn't working anymore?)



Any one have any ideas? Or is this just a ploy to pay for some upgraded service w/ unknown results?



Thanks,

Well, I didn't want to spend $400+, even $300+ on such an old TV, if there was any way possible to avoid it. Considering it's only a 47" rear projection, I would rather have a similar sized plasma, or a bigger DLP RP, for a little more money. But that's just me. I found another thread where a guy had the same blueish shadows and did fix it when replacing the whole convergence board bought on partstore.com for $85, so I took the plunge and bought it, and swapped it out. I'm about 85%-90% to new condition now.



Only reason I'm not 100% is coz it seems my whites still *glow* a little more than they once did. The blue shadows are gone, and the resolution is back to 100% HD now, which is great, I just think the whites/light colors glow outside their lines a little bit. Since the tv's image was so messed up for so long, prior to finding the fix, I can't tell anymore if it was like that before, or when the other problems came up, this also happened, or if the new board is actually causing a new problem, but I guess I have no way to no for sure, and not much recourse if it was, at this point.

If money was no object and I loved this tv, I'd pay to have it fixed. But since I'm not in love with it long term, it was worth $85 for the part and some of my time to fix it close to 90%.
