Mitsubishi WS-55511 convergence problem?

On my Mitsubishi WS-55511 all of a sudden the image is showing double. I was watching TV and suddenly this occured. The behavior is as follows:
While watching HD programming on cable, "ghost" like images appear on the right and left side. Middle of the screen appears fine.
While watching DVD the left side seems fine, but double images increasing to the middle and right.
Can't adjust anything from the convergence menu.
The TV is 6+ years old. Is it worth repairing? Local techs want $125 to diagnose. Been repaired once for some other problem back in 2006.

No,need to diagnose.It a 100% convergence problems.Convergence problems very easy diagnose.The picture look like 3D,colors lines don't lines up.Fuzzy,out of focus.Convergence controls don't work to lines up any colors cross.The tech is cheating u if he said cost $125 to diagnose.If u know how to solders u could fix this convergence problems about $100.U can buy a convergence kit at Websites Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com.The shop everythings fix parts and labors only $300.

    Convergence problems just require replacing 2 STK convergence ICS,and some or all it resistor.After these parts are replaced 100% the convergence problems will be fix.

My 55" WS Mitsubishi projection

The convergence is out, and the convergence ICs' would have to be canged on convergence board, and you are looking a a repair bill between 300-400, and if it was mine for the year that it is I would not lay any money into it, Just buy a new LCD, take care.

The picture is showing a double image and is distored.

The problem you are refering to is more than likely a convergence problem. The convergence circuit in your tv is controlled by an IC (integrated circuit) stk392-110 and it makes the 3 colors (red, blue, green) line up/converge together to create a clear picture. You'll know when this part needs to be replaced because the picture you see is 3d looking and possibly bowed on the top or bottom or on the sides in any or all 3 colors.

How to reset convergence? on mitsubishi ws 55511, has a shadow colored blue or yellow

There is an option in the user menu on the tv. Using either the remote or control panel on the front of the tv, press MENU then select SETUP. After you choose SETUP go to the 3rd column with the 3 icons. Here you can adjust the red or blue color or reset the convergence back to factory default.

After a few years the set will begin to show increasing problems with the convergence settings. When you can no longer adjust either red or blue horizontally or vertically an IC replacement will be needed. Your set uses (1) SANYO stk393-110 and you want to make sure it's SANYO and not a knock off brand as those usually fail prematurely.

My Tv looks like a 3d movie it is showing double images and when I checked the convergence the red is off. WHat should I do?

If you can`t adjust the convergence through the menu then you may have bad conv. modules,you have two separate circuit that controls it; analog and digital, most often the analog circuit is the problem,it should have two large i.c mounted on heatsink with numbers like stk392 written on it.in any case you`ll need the help of a repairman. good luck

Blury screen with rainbow image cannot read words on screen

The convergence integrated circuits have failed and most likely the 2 5A fuses have opened as well. I would find a local Mitsubishi service shop.
