I've got a similar problem. My Sony Videoscope XBR now has big ugly magenta, green, and blue lines through everything in full screen mode. Split screen mode seems to work fine as does full screen black & white (all of the color settings dialed down).
Is everything in like a 3D mode? If it is the convergence is bad on the set and the convergence IC's need to be replaced. Your problem is the two convergence IC's in the convergence circuit are bad most likly. They are black, stand up on a large metal heat sink and has white lettering on them. Do not replace with any other replacement parts. Use only what they call for. And also make sure you use plenty of heat sink grease on the backs of them before you screw them back onto the heat sinks. These oarts are soldered in so your going to have to have a soldering iron to unsolder and resolder in on a printed circuit board after they are replaced. If you have had no sort of electronic repair experience, please seek out a pro to assist you as you can not only cause alot more problems in the set, it is dangerous to be experimenting inside these sets. If you can replace the IC's yourself, buy only the original replacements, as the cheap knock offs or OEM parts will not last long. you can find these parts at http://www.partstore.com. Good Luck and please get back with us and let us know how you made out with this repair.
I wouldn't call it a 3D effect. Its more like the green and magenta scan lines have fattened up and screwed up the interlacing. For example a solid blue screen has lots of little green noise patterns all thoughout. I think all three colors are doing the same thing and the green is just more noticable.
when the t.v. is powered on, a yellow and green screen is displayed for about 3-5 seconds before displaying a solid black screen.Not to sure what the problem might be than a guess of the tv needing a new bulb.Can someone help me diagnose the problem before having a tech. charge me a fee to just look at it.Plus not sure worth keeping if costs are too much when the future is in lcd's and plasmas
