My projection television seems to have a "double vision" in the picture. I have cleaned the lense covers, but what more do I need to look into? The picture seems to overlap making it very difficult to read words on the screen. Help....Thanks,
I have had a few people tell me that it is a "conversion" problem. The set is probably about 20 years old; model #VS458R and they are saying it will cost about $250. I'm not sure if the set is worth fixing at that amount. NeilI have had a few people tell me that it is a "conversion" problem.

Re:
What model is your tv? Panasonics have a 'self-alignment' system in the menu, or a manual alignment that the menu will actually walk you through. Other System's will be able to do that also, such as Hitachi.

Sounds like a convergence failure, here is a tutorial I made: http://www.fixya.com/support/r5001731-convergence_diagnosing_convergence Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Your projection lenses are probably covered in dust. My TV did the same thing with the blue color on the right side. Usually you can get to the projectors from the bottom front or back. Goo luck.
yes the convergence problem leaves a shadow of red or blue like an outline around the picture, sometimes part of the screen some times the entire screen.
Could be pin correction circuit or your picture tubes could be worn out . Sometimes when the crt's get weak the edges seem not as clear as the center of the screen . Give model number if you think the pin correction may be your problem but, the tv is pretty old and avg. life for them is 12 to 15 years when the picture tubes start to degrade . Good luck
The double vision is from bad convergance ic's and posibly some support resistors or pico fuses. if you are not an electronics tech I suggest to have one do it. the ICs can range from $45.00 to $60.00 each and is suggested to replace both of them. some mitsies had one IC which I cant remember how much it was. tech charges vary. some prices may be $150.00 to $300.00 shop around.
