Colours are distorted. The screen convexes towads towards the sides, and top and bottom. The 3 main colour filters -- red, green, and blue -- do not line up with the picture image.

You have a convergence problem and nedd to replace the convergence ic's i think the part # for the generic replacement is stk392-110-there are 2 of them. you also need to replace( check 1st with an ohmeter) the 4 fuses associated with the power supply going to the convergence ic's-they are solder in fuses and you have to know the value to put in the correct ones. unless you are a technician, i would suggest call for service ont this, but feel free to give the tech this info.

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.
