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,
Pioneer 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...

Same problem and the Red sags at the top of the screen. Reset inService Menu and Magic Focus fixed slightly, but still major image woes.

the red sags at the top
I have the same problem now, I've already call repairman last year, charged 680.00 , and just did it again. and when he fixed the TV the auto focus quit working........... help.
My 53FDX20B has a red tint to the picture. Sporting events the grass shows up as red instead of green otherwise the picture is great. Some videos and channels it is not very noticeable but sporting events and some channels show up tinted red.
I have double vision with out lined red
I have the same problem with my red bulb, and can't get it to align itself. Did anyone find out how to fix this problem?
The picture has shadow of red looks like it is out of alignment (almost 3D look)....tried to Magic Focus but only goes to three bars....
