Sounds like one of your convergence IC's has failed. One easy way to find out is to go into the menu and try and adjust the red if it wont move then its for sure defective. You called it a wave and the typical of convergence IC failure. Your set either has 2 or 3 convergence IC's and I would replace them all. If you can solder then you can do it yourself other wise call a tv shop and ask what they will charge to replace them.. there part numbers usually start with stk392-xxx take the back off and you can see them. They are about 3 inches wide and 2 inches tall and black.

Lcd looks a red wave line it look like it's out

Projection sets have two very common problems.

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. 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 and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

Wavy red lines or red pixelation, not sure what it is

Go to Vizio website and buy the extending warranty, you need to have your TV replaced since the problem is with the screen itself.
