This is caused by the convergence IC or IC's failing. If it has 2 IC's for the convergence circuit, they are STK392-540. If there is only 1, it is a STK393-110. The Convergence Board is the center board and also includes the Main Power Supply. Great care is needed when removing making sure that all the screws are are removed around the edged of the board, in the center of the board, and on the back side of the heat sink. You also have 5 plug clips that pull up, 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Please remove the power from the set before doing anything. Some times being over zealous, we forget these things. Once the board is removed, the IC' s or IC are easy to removed with solder wick. The heat-sink compound is messy so be careful not to get it on clothing or the rug. Make sure you remount the new IC's in the right direction and use heat-sink compound on the back of the parts to prevent heat from damaging the parts prematurely. once the parts are mounted, reinstall the board making sure the heat-sink lines up correctly and the center screw secured the green ground wire in the center position of the heat-sink. Reinstall the rest of the screws and reconnect the plug clips on both sides of the board. That should do the trick. I do caution you that this is not a quick job and do not rush through it. I hopefully covered all the steps for success.
Good luck,

I have some distored blue color across the screen

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

Video distortion

You need to take your tv in and have the picture deflector re-aligned.  This doesn't cost much, My dad had to do that to his a few months ago and it cost 30 bucks.
