I have a philips 60" rear projection HDTV monitor. it seems to be losing its sharpness and color. I've tried adjusting everything but still does not help. I'd like to try and fix this problem before it gets worse. thanks.
I believe I may have the same problem. The figures and objects are shadowed and very heavy read; the picture seems a bit darker as well. Will the coolant kit solve this?
thanks in advance
Your TV most likely has one or more possible problems.
Problem #1: Convergence Chip Failure ( common problem )
Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem
Here is a quick test....
Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.
Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.
You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.
If you can't move tpicture seems to be losing its sharpness and color - 2c07611.pngdirections your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.
Solution #1
You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.
Problem #2 CRT Fluid is Cloudy
Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around picture seems to be losing its sharpness and color - 578ba6c.jpg
