3 yr old tv has yellow hue in the center of screen. really bad when watching black/white movies, not good when watching color. was told by store that sold it to me, "oh yea, they do that, it cost about $1100 to get it fixed, I'd just get a new tv". any suggestions would be great. It cost to much to trash. thanks, Dana

You have a bad tuner or there is a capacitor bad in the color burst circuit.

try this
use the advanced options page and reset the factor blue and red convergence defaults then do re apply the auto color defaults color at first it seemed very red (which is good because red was the missing factor in the green picture) but after reseting all the color and tints to the normal ranges I then reset the color auto correct again and all seems fine.

You have a defective light engine. We just went through this and here's what you need to do...there is hope. Call Hitachi's customer realtions department at 800-654-7013 and tell them what the set is doing and that you have a defective light engine. Now, they will initially act like they've never heard of this but they have. They will however give you the names of some certified dealers in your area to call. Once you call the dealer and a tech comes out and confirms that you have a bad light engine, takes less than 1 minute, call Hitachi's customer realtions department back at the number I listed above.
Once you call and tell Hitachi that you had a tech out, all of a sudden, they will acknowlege the problem and they will call the dealer you used to confirm it. Once they've confirmed that it is a bad light engine, Hitachi will send a BRAND NEW light engine directly to the dealer and the dealer will call you to come out and install. HITACHI WILL COVER THIS PART regardless if you're still under warranty or not.
Here's the kicker, if your not under warranty, Hitachi will cover the part, but you will have to pay for the install. Our install was $400 but worth is to us on a $3600 TV we've only had 3+ years.
DO NOT let any dealer or store tell you that you will have to pay for this part. Hitachi will cover the cost of the part (around $1500). Hitachi has not recalled this part (they should) but they are replacing it FOR FREE.
The 800 # I've listed above is directly to Hitachi's customer relations department. Please deal with them and not Hitachi customer service. Customer service will not help you at all.
Once our light engine was replaced, our TV is like BRAND NEW! GOOD LUCK:)

I have the same problem ...please help....
the yellow started in the middle and now it covers the whole screen . Im wonder if playing playstation or wii might have caused this problem
Same thing for me on my Hiticha Ultravision Directors Series, after installing a new Philips bulb. My old Hitachi one burnt out, so I bought the Philips one, and it went from red center to yellow blurry center.
