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. 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, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit wiith instructions from the links below.

My picture has a blue hill across the bottom of screen. Picture is green with pink double vision wording. Whats up with it?
Yes! I have the same problem with the blue hill on bottom of screen. I found that if you turn it off and on repeatedly, the problem goes away and sometimes comes back, but eventually it is OK after awhile. However, if you turn it off for awhile the problem comes back. Best thing to do is turn it on, wait about ten minutes, then turn it off, then back on. You may have to do this several times until the problem goes away. I have had this set for a little over 3 years and this just started about 8 days ago. I bought a 4 year warranty, so i am covered. This TV has gotten alot of bad reviews. I like the design, but just can't deal with the problems.
