Everything was fine and then I turned it on this morning and im seeing double, everything is bleeding two images right now. Does this mean I have to replace the light in my projection tv? Its kind of old its only 1080i. I have had it for like 3-4 years now.
Do the colors seem "separated" somehow? Sounds like the projectors might have become misaligned. Has the TV been knocked by pets/children/spouse?
I'm not that familiar with projection TVs, but I suppose it can be done. It shouldn't be more to it than adjusting some screws inside I would think. It's probably tedious, though.
I'd recommend trying to align two of them first (I suppose it's three; Red Green Blue). Cover one up and align two colors, then move the cover and align the last one. I'm not at all familiar with your make and mopdel, so I'm not sure how easy it will be to get to any alignment screws.
I'd remove any cover on the back first and see if there are something serviceable ea sily available.
Keep in mind that it might be the mirrors or even the screen itself that is misaligned. It should be pretty easy to see if it's the screen, though. Then the front would look crooked or deformed. If you open it up it should also be fairly easy to see if the mirrors are a bit off.
Keep in mind that you *might* brick your TV if you don't know what rou're doing. If you're a bit handy and take your time you can probably pull it off. Just don't try to adjust. everything at once. Adjust in small steps, and if nothing seems to improve, turn the knob/screw back to where it was and adjust something else. No more than a quart or a half turn at most, and keep count so you can go back.
Check to see if mirrors are loose first, and keep in mind that the lamps may get very hot.
Best of luck to you if you go forward. :-)

not to my knowledge, but again the tv has seen some usage. The colors themselves do appear to be seperated. Is this something that I could do myself manually to correct this?
