Atleast I believe it's a convergance issue from my research. It seems there is way to enter a service mode on these tv's by holding 5,power,volumeup,and display while in tv mode. I've tried this and it didn't work. I've tried it multiple times. the remote i'm using with the tv is model #rm-y909. Any help on this issue or how I can set the convergance would be a great help.
EDIT: Also happens in all different video modes and the ghost image changes with the picture being displayed. This just started happening this morning :( ... I really hope it can be fixed I loved this TV
Thanks in advance :)
UPDATE: I followed this . It took some guessing on my part since all of the suggestions on this afent 100% correct for my tv.
Sony Convergence ProcedureDocument version 1.0 ( I Will update as needed and if errors are found, please let me know and I will issue an update)
Changing values in the service mode can cause your tv to malfunction, this text will only explain how to adjust the factory convergence. Before changing any other values make sure you know what you are doing.
To Enter Service mode With the tv off and the remote in tv mode, press the following keys: <5>
The tv will now display “3D-COMB” in the upper left hand corner.
Press the <2> or <3> keys to move up or down through the adjustment categories until you see “PJE” in the upper left hand corner(note that the letters will change to a different font).
Next press the <6> key twice, this will bring up a grid (crosshatch) without video behind it.
When I refer to the
When cursor is white, you can move it to an adjustment point using the arrow keys. Once you press the
To save your changes press the then keys on the remote.
Important notesNot all SonyÂ’s will function in the exact same way that I outlined above. Below I have made notes of the differences.
1. Some Models will only let you move in a spiral pattern out from the center.
2. Your tv may or may not have different convergence modes that you will have to adjust, if your tv is a hi-def you will need to converge the hi-def mode as well, With the cross hatch up you can press the
key to switch between the different modes. Make sure you save your changes before changing picture mode or your changes will be lost.
More Information
1. Save changes often.
2. The green crt is used to align the other two colors. If you need to get the grid straight, straighten up the green completely before adjusting the other colors. An overlay may be needed if the green is way off.
1. After adjusting a point, you may throw another point out of convergence, Check for this.
2. Start converging in the center and go out, donÂ’t start on the outside you will be fighting the convergence if you do.
3. Avoid the tendency to adjust the worst point first, most likely one of the other smaller adjustments will get that badly converged point very close to where it needs to be. By adjusting that badly converged point first, you can throw off a well converged point somewhere else.
4. If you are at the edge of the screen adjusting a point there, look at the opposite edge of the screen, you can throw a point off on the other side if you over adjust.

--------------------------------------------------
After following this I was able to lock onto the different colors and it showed the numbers in the upper middle and right go from negative to positive like it was doing something but if I look on the actual screen the dots/lines werent moving at all horizontally or vertically. Does this indicate a possible hardware issue or is it possible i'm just doing it incorrectly ?
