You either need a new Blue CRT or the Blue CRT circuit board. You can get both those parts at the following link for a real cheap price as they have them used which cost a fraction of what they would be new. Leave them a email with your model number and what youre needing they will respond back quickly.

    No, I dont have that info available it would be in the service manual, and I dont have one for that model samsung. Sorry wish i could help. The numbers should be on the circuit board itself.

    Thats a very good possibilty that the coolant could be contaminated as thats a classic sign of bad coolant when you see the halo like that. It might be worth changing the coolant. however you can tell if the coolant is contalminated just by looking into the blue lens while its playing. You will notice bacterial growth which is very noticeable if the coolant needs replaceing.

    Yes if it looks cloudy change the coolant. You will need to replace it with optical grade coolant, you cant substitute any other type of coolant or you will damge the CRTs.

PCN5425R Fading in and out

No It is not the picture tube.
First, I would suspect a bad solder connection (cold solder connection) to find this problem hit the side cassing to see if the picuture goes away or comes back.
Another way is take the back cover off and tap gently on the boards with something not conductive or your hair would look like mine. The most commond section is power supply and neer the Horizontal flyback transformor.
The horizontal transformor look at it, it's a big greyish darty little thing about 3" x 4" and stand up about 4" with a big red wire going out of it. Don't touch it, it has very high voltages, just look what it done to my hair I'm telling you don't touch it along with it's red lead's. Just look to see if it is arking if so replace it.

When you have convegence problem , it is mis aligment of the colours in the genmentry aligments.
I would suspect more in the power supply section.

Red convergence way off

Hello,
I had the same issue as you pretty much exactly and so do others right around this last few weeks so I am thinking that this is a common problem with the product itself.

You can fix this pretty quickly with the link below. I bought it and it resolved the issue.

Samsung 54" Projection TV (PCN5425R)

sears does inhome service, if you do try to fix it, there is usually a board mounted to the back of the tubes (above the others), if it has this convergence board, try unplugging the red connector with the blue wire and turning set back on, if it powers with a 3d looking picture, you have a bad convergence module. Other than that you may want to call a repairman.
