My 55" HD TV picture now looks like it's trying to be 3-D

I have a 55" Mitsubishi WS-55511 1080 HD TV that I originally bought back in 2004 - yes, it's got some wear on its treads. Well, yesterday I turn on the toob and instead of my crisp HD picture, I have a picture that looks like my TV is trying to display in 3-D. Meaning, the red and blue convergence are way off- specifically, the red is WAY off. It almost looks like a red sheet had been hanging in front of my TV but the top left corner has fallen down and is just clumping in the middle of my screen. Sweet. Super duper. I google it and come to determine it's the integrated circuit inside the TV for the red/blue/green convergence. It's caput. I look around and most places are quoting $350-500 to diagnose and repair it. Fug that! I delve a bit deeper and find that I can order these parts myself. I can get the IC for only $20 online! So, I have that on the way, next day delivery, total fee: $30. Also found a step by step walkthrough (with pictures) online for how to replace the IC. It looks straightforward enough.

So, basically, I'm paying $30 and a little bit of time to fix my TV which would have cost $500 at a shop. $470 for labor?? Please. Go fug yourself.

I'll let y'all know my results.

:cool:

Dimbee...before you start. Take before pics. Model Number. Go step by step on how you do this and record the tough spots with a camera. If it then works you do after pics.

Might be able to sell your repair video if you PW protect it and advertise on avsforums.com

Why fight it, find some 3d glasses and some LSD and enjoy.

It's funny you mention that. One of my son's movies- Sharkboy and Lava Girl came with the red/blue old school 3d glasses. So I threw a pair on, and.... it didn't do poo. I did find, though, that by closing the eye that looks through the red lense and only peer through the blue one, it removes the red convergence problem! :lol:

Good advice! Anytime I'm doing any kind of DIY with electronics, I photograph the whole process - I learned that from my dad the electrical engineer. ;)

    • Dave would have the excuse/logic that he hasn’t been able to bring a QB that fits his O.  That was the prior HCs QB and it got that HC fired with quickness.   Can’t expect Dave to win this year without a QB if he went 5-12.  Morgan tied Bryce to him by not dealing him.   Be horrible this year and Dave isn’t getting more time most likely 
    • That's a serious word salad. Anywho. Both Justin Fields and Daniel Jones have always had something Bryce Young does not possess. The necessary physical tools.
    • What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?
