Extra red line around image and the picture doubles a little

On Rear Projection TVs there is a thing called "convergence" in which the color bands are lined up so that they can mix to make the colors that we see on the screen. When a TV of this type is moved or bumped around, or even near a source of electrical interference it can throw this out of alignment. Many TVs have options in their menus to set convergence.

I believe it is under Menu > Picture > Convergence I'm having trouble finding the exact process used for this, but it will be noted in your user guide as well.
If this does not resolve the issue you may need to purchase a convergence repair kit which requires a considerable amount of electrical knowledge and can take several hours to repair.

Convergence failed, expect to pay around $350

My picture screen has double images red,blue,green. The screen looks 3D

convergence problem expect to pay around $300

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. This is called convergence.

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,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.

I had same problem. First went in tomenu and went to set up settings and went to convergence area. I then reset this back to default, which I later was told I should have not done so do not attempt this it will temporarily fix issue but problem will persisit.
I found a local tv repair man thru tvrepairguy.com or something like that as they are hard to find.
The issue turned out to be the convergence boards or circuits, He then went in to master control and rset the convergence settings for the main picture by lining up the red and blue lines on to a white cross on the screen until it is black and white with no red or blue protruding vertically or laterally. He then did this for 7 points around center picture moving the lines. He suggests you play with this for awhile in a position you would normally sit in and at proper eye level to give you the truest picture for alignment. The part cost 109 to replace with labor and service total was 331. The repairman was very nice and explained the issue should be fixed and we should get another 6 to 7 years out of television.
Hope this helps,

Uh Oh! Your light engine has warped a little from overheating and is distorting the picture. This is one of the models they are having trouble with.
Here is the lawsuit website: http://esupport.sony.com/sxrdsettlement

My suggestion to you is to get on the phone with Sony and start complaining, then keep complaining until they agree to pay for it. You may have to get the problem diagnosed by a pro before they agree to pay for it though.
Hope ya fix it!
