If your TV looks 3D, warped, or distorted it likely has a convergenge problem.
If however it just looks dull, washed out, redish, or if it looks like objects on the screen have halos the fluid in the lens has soured.
You can search google for parts or you can get the parts with repair instructions from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com

You have a convergent problem, where the red, blue, green projector lamps are out of synch. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esk4nYZKFcg for a pictorial on how to fix convergent.

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, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit wiith 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 - makes a 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

Just fixed mine with the same problem you all described:

http://www.somelifeblog.com/2007/06/sony-projection-tv-red-line-repair.html

Focus and screen control box / remove front bottom panel there you will find it / it has 3 controls on top 3 on bottom top are focus for RGB tubes bottom controls adjust screen drives for RGB.

If you take off the front bottom panel of the tv wich is easy. Then you will see 6 tuning knobs at the bottom middle of the tv .the top 6 control contrast for the lights dont mess with those. the bottom 3 are the power to each light.red is bottom left if your screen went blue it makes sense that the red is starting to go but if you turn down the power to it left 1/8 turn it should fix it for awhile .Its easy.

you need a new green CRT, sony has had some problems with the green and blue crts developing shorts . Let me know if you need further assistance.

Probable convergence IC failure = replace both for reliability..T.

Sounds like a conergence circuit failure, probably a couple of AMPs and a few discreet components. Probably 250-300 repair
