Colors out of alignment

See the following images for the issue with my TV, which occurred suddenly this morning, and seems to have gotten worse later in the day, despite not being used. From what I have gathered, it seems to be something with either a tube or a convergence circuit. How easy is this to repair?

If you have background in electronics, you can do it. The difficult part here is on how to access those convergence amp(convergence circuit output IC). By replacing those 2 IC and some resistors sometimes, adjust the convergence and your done. Good Luck

The screen seems to have two of the same image, green and red.

Yes.
The fix is to replace the two Convergence IC's( STK392-110's) with STK392-150's. They are located to the right side of the chassis and mounted to large heat sinks. Be also on the look out for some burnt resisters and or discolored resistors that failed becuase of the IC's failing. These would be located just to the left of the heat sinks. If they are burnt or severly discolored, you will need to replace them with the exact valued resistors. In this high current circuit it is a must.
I hope this helps,

Turned on TV this morning and the colors were out of alignment. TV works just looks funny. Tried the magic focus and got most of the screen lined up....except the upper left hand corner where the colors...

There is a convergence output kit for this set. There are probably resistors in the convergence circuit that are starting to loose there values. If you are going to have the set worked on have them install the whole kit which includes the convergence outputs and resistors. Thanks

Our panasonic HDTV-model #PT47WX42F all of a sudden has 3D images- I've tried to correct with the convergence buttons but can't get the colors aligned--can you suggest something to try or is it...

You can repair that issue by installing a convergence repair kit. You can get the repair kit for your model which has the parts and detailed instructions at the following link listed under the Panasonoc repair kits. www.tvrepairworld.com

Mitsubishi vs-70601 picture pincushioned and out of convergence

could just be a convergence issue. there should be an auto-convergence feature in the menu. outside of that, you'll have to manually converge the colors seperately (also a feature in the menu).

Sudden discoloration, ghosting, bowed horizontal lines in top and bottom of picture

The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

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,Pioneer2_bing.gif Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get a convergenece repair kit with instructions from the links below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2
Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture
