I have a 53" Sony Projection TV, Model #KP-53HS20

I know the 3 replacement screens that were sent to me were the... Lenitcular, Fresnal, and Contrast. However, Sony did not have any labeling on the screens or packages. I know how to install them, but do not know the PROPER ORDER or which screen is which.

The 3 screens are described as...

Clear & Perfectly Transparent
Clear & but Cloudy/Hazy look
Dark w/ grooves

I installed them in this order...front to back...

Dark w/ grooves (Closest to you if youre watching the tv) Clear & Perfectly Transparent (the middle screen) Clear & but Cloudy/Hazy (this is the last screen and the closest to the back mirror of the internal backing.

Is this order wrong??? Thanks for any help.

The clear one should be on the outside. It's there to protect #3 from scratches. Also, #3 should be installed with the darker side facing out toward the viewer. If you look closely, you'll notice black paint on the ridges on one side. #2 is a fresnel lens and should be installed with the smooth side facing toward the inside of the set (one side has very fine concentric grooves).

Thank you for the reply Andy. I'm having a bit of a shadow problem that seems to be most apparent when viewing from an angle, so I have a feeling one of the screens may indeed be backwards. Ya think?

I've taken apart the TV twice today, and did figure out the right ORDER that you mentioned. Looks like I may be going for dissemble #3, ugggh.

Thanks again...
