Picture is very red and slightly distorted

The Sony KP-61V85 was picked up by a technician who said that the convergebce board needed to be rebuilt for about $385.00. It has been 1 month now and they still havent been able to correct it. Today I was told that the part it needed was on back order but they could put in a new part for an additional $155.00. I decided not to have them repair it. The cost is too high. Any thoughts on what part they were talking about.

A very red picture is usually related to the Red CRT or red CRT drive board being defective. The convergence will only mess the alignment up and cause the picture to appear 3D it wont make the Picture take on alot of red tint.

How to change the brightes

A fairly old model is listed here(KP-61v85) this answer is based on that model number:

If the set has not been serviced for a long time with set unplugged remove rear cover and locate (hard to miss) the three large black lens at top of chassis--clean the lens with a lens cloth or a paper towel with glass cleaner sprayed on the towel.

If the lens are dusty/dirty they will diminish the brightness and clarity of the the picture---they are the light source for the picture in this set.

Our Sony Projection TV has the red color distorted

Double picture symptom shows tv got problem with convergence out section and most probably convergence out chips would be replace to fix this issue.
Though its job of qualified tv tech to replace convergence out chips yet I can provide you helpful info if you are handy with electronics stuff repair and can replace parts in circuit board as soldering work is needed with proper tools to repair tv.
Thanks.

Herringbone pattern

Herringbone (and other patterns) can be caused my many faults, the obvious one the tech was looking for was a tuner/interference fault.

Another common cause is a faulty power supply.

Difficult to say without having the TV on the bench.

I'm a bit suspect about the $400 - $500 repair cost though.

Perhaps try another tech?

I doubt it's a DIY repair though.

Let's know how you get on.
