54inch Hitachi TV has double figures and colors red, yellow-not normal. Set approximately seven -eight years old. Lost remote control and direction book in moving. Is the set worth getting fixed? Generally speaking; are service costs over $300?

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, 54inch Hitachi TV has double figures and colors - 2_bing.gifg src="/uploads/images/2_bing.gif" alt="2_bing.gif" class="h_mi" />, Hitachi, Zenith, and others.

My 57" rear-projection Toshiba TV is showing about a 12" wide path of scrambled lines from the left to the right side of the screen at about 1/3 from the bottom of the screen itself. Sometimes the scrambled lines widen, sometimes the lines disappear. They disappeared about 18 months ago and came back last month. Lines appear regardless of whether I have my xbox 360 / Netflix on or off. Any suggestions on to fix this problem? No other problems with my TV.
