The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

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.

The complete fix will cost more than a new set.

The convergence amplifiers are likely blown.
Fairly easy fix if you are good at soldering.
Search this site for convergence repair.

need to replace convergence control chips

looks like you have a problem with the crt itself poss a fractured shadowmask the convergance system only changes the magnetic field in the scan coils to realign the cathode guns to keep the scanning in line . coincidental i think, a new crt is favorite hope this helps

you need to have the conversion chips replaced , this is a pretty common repair and i would say it is definately worth the fix, some repair shops will come and fix it within a half hour to an hour depending on the difficulty in taking out the old part and or putting in the new
