I'll take you up on that next time I am in Tulsa...:meal:

Ok, well I got a color crosshatch from the internet, and went ahead and went through the service menu setups. First I carefully wrote down every current set point in every category. I didn't find the eeprom reset option, however I was able to adjust every adjustment in the setups. After trying every adjustment I have determined that all of them only affect the red or blue channels, or all three at once. there were no settings for only the green channel. I also deduced that my problem is a green E W pincushion issue, due to the fact that by making the E W pincusion adjustment from the original setting of like 126 down to like 32 i could make the red and blue channels bend to match the green channel. (I guess if I had to i could always resort to that for watch ability, UGH) So I guess I am back to a component issue? I tell you what, I have learned more about big screen tvs in the last week than I ever wanted to, but I'm not gonna give up yet. One thing I can say for sure, I don't want your job............:sob: by the way while adjusting things I didn't go to the extremes so as not to stress stuff and I returned each setting back to its original set point after each trial. I still don't know why they didn't include any of these adjustments for green. that would make things a lot easier.

Green is the reference and is adjusted in the geometry settings. The red and blue are then converged to the green. You get the green geometry correct, then you adjust the others to it.

Well, I went back through every setting in service level today, and none of the adjustments corrects the hour glass shaped green image or even tries for that matter. I guess I will start replacing capacitors in the green circuit as money allows since I have no good way to check them for spec. I will keep you updated with my progress......don't give up on me, I haven't yet.....LOL.:scratch:

Are you adjusting the GEOMETRY settings?

yes on my set it calls it "con geo", I also went through "con"vergence set as well. Actually I played with every adjustment allowed in the service menus, as well as the consumer menus, but nothing straightens the green hourglass. I put everything back to original settings after testing. I was really hoping that it would be a setting in there, but it appears not. So I can only guess that one of the filtering capacitors is out of spec. As i said before, when I change the ew pincusion, I can move the blue and red into the same hourglass shape if I want, which I suppose would make convergence work, but that's not a fix, as the image would be distorted on either side. the center of the grid looks goodin the center 1/3rd of the screen. It's just the left and right sides that curve in on green channel. The only settings i didnt play with were the sap/audio settings, and the pip settings, and the high voltage adjustment.
