Projection sets have two very common problems outlined below.
The first common problem is convergence
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. The TV can also shut down when the convergence starts to fail.
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, RCA and others.

picture bows in center like a "pincushion" screen on a computer monitor and convergence is of kind of twisted to one side.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE GUESTS CONCERN AND HAVE TRIED TO ADJUST CONVERGENCE BUT THE LINES ARE TWISTED OR SLANTED TO ONE SIDE AND WILL NOT ALIGN ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW SET LIKE THIS ONE OR AN EQUIVALENT ONE THANKS.
On mine, only the red color is bowed.
Similar to other 2 listed "bow" problems. Mine is both red and green, and bow inward from the top and bottom center.
The picture bows in on the top left corner and all along the bottom. When I try to adjust the convergence I am not able to. the + won't line up.
