Blue line down right side fo tv cant see picture

Hi,
It's a convergence issue. Go into the main TV menu under video settings and look for convergence. If it has an auto convergence select that and wait a minute the TV will adjust itself and give you a clear picture.
If the TV does not have an auto convergence and just regular convergence than select this. It will give you a grid pattern on your TV and you have to move the coursor (using TV remote) and adjust each "point" so that each line is perfectly white. If you notice red or blue anywhere on that "line" then you have to adjust using the up, down, left and right arrow keys to "line up the red and blue lines with the nearest white line. It takes time and patience to do, but when completed, all lines on the grid pattern should be pure white and you will have a great looking picture.
You have to do this will all TV inputs (Video1, Video2 and so on) the reason Zoom looks good, is because you never used that screen as much and so the lenses didn't have a chance to get out of syncs.
RPTV's are made of the three lenses (red, Blue and Green) and as you watch TV, these lenses slowly get out of alignment. So you should do a convergence about twice a year to make sure nothing is out of whack.
Good luck...

If the following doesn't work the tubes could be at the end of life:
Adjusting convergence:
Note: For best results, the Projection TV needs to be turned on for 15 minutes or longer before adjusting the picture tubes (convergence).

To adjust the convergence of the picture tubes:

1. Press the 'MENU/SELECT' button on the remote.
2. Press CURSOR RIGHT to enter the PICTURE menu.
3. Use CURSOR DOWN and RIGHT to select and enter MANUAL CONVERGE.
4. Press CURSOR RIGHT to select CONVERGE RED or press CURSOR RIGHT and DOWN to select CONVERGE BLUE.
5. A crosshair will be shown on the screen. If there is any red or blue fringe around the crosshair, use CURSOR RIGHT, LEFT, UP, DOWN to try and merge the fringe colors with the crosshair.
6. Press the 'MENU/SELECT' button to return to MANUAL CONVERGE menu.
7. Press the 'EXIT' button to exit the menu.

If you are satisfied with the convergence you may stop now. Otherwise, you can continue and adjust the convergence more using mult ipoint convergence.
To Adjust multipoint convergence:

1. Press the 'MENU/SELECT' button on the remote.
2. Use CURSOR RIGHT to enter the PICTURE menu.
3. Use CURSOR DOWN and RIGHT on the cursor ring to select and enter MANUAL CONVERGE.
4. Press CURSOR RIGHT and DOWN on the cursor ring to select MULTIPOINT RED or MULTIPOINT BLUE.
5. A grid of crosshairs will appear on the screen. If there is any red or blue fringe around any of them, press CURSOR RIGHT to enter NAVIGATE mode.
6. Use CURSOR RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN to move to a crosshair that has a color outline.
7. Press the 'EXIT' button to enter ADJUST mode.
8. Use CURSOR RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN to merge the color with the crosshair.
9. Press the 'STATUS/EXIT' button to return to NAVIGATE mode. Repeat as necessary.
10. Press the 'MENU' button to return to the MANUAL CONVERGE menu.
11. Press CURSOR DOWN until SAVE MULTIPOINT is selected.
12. Press CURSOR RIGHT to save the multipoint settings.
13. Press the 'EXIT' button to exit the menu.

This is an easy fix using the Philips remote control that came with your tv. On the center of the remote is a dial that has left right up down controls. Stand in front of the tv and using those controls you can recenter the screen and get rid fo the green line. I had same problem when we hooked up hd satellite reciver to philips 37 plasma

This is a convergence output IC problem. convergence board would have to be removed - remove and replace 2 STK IC's and check the surrounding resistors. Shops usually charge between $200-$300

if this is a rear projection crt type set go into the customer menu and select CONVERGENCE--if either blue or red will not move up and down--you have a bad convergence IC---most sets use two of them.

Most likely your convergence circuit needs repair, there are 2 large IC chips with heat sinks (labeled STKxxx -XXX) and possibly depending on model a resistor or fuse may have went with it. 95% of the time this is all it is. It could cost $300-400 to have someone repair it.

The panel is almost certainly bad. The only fix for this is to replace the whole panel which would cost more than the whole TV.

not able to assist you with your problem, but if you give up on trying to get your issue resolved and decide to get rid of the tv and wish to sell it fo rparts then please contact me as i am in desperate need of the lense out of the front of this unit you have. Thank you i can be reached via email @ [email protected], or via phone# 304-937-2369

if you take the front cover off the tv, you will see 6 little nobe, the top 3 are focus, bottom 3 are brightness, should be RED-BLUE-GREEN in order from left to right, find the one that is blue, turn it down a quarter turn, should fix the problem
