HI everyone,

I recently started experiencing problems with the colors in my Mitsubishi 1080. It's an intermittent problem; suddenly the image will warp a pinch and all the colors seem missaligned. Two seconds later it will come back and look fine again. The TV might stay fine for a few hours but the problem comes back. I seem to experience the problem more when the TV is "cold" meaning it was just turned on.

I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is and if it can be fixed at home by a service man. Also if anyone is a technician... how much should this be in a fair market price?

Thanks to everyone for their help.

At this point it sounds like a simple case of resoldering cracked joints on or near the convergence IC's. I suggest you stop using it until you get it fixed, otherwise you can blow out some rather expensive chips.
