AKAI 52" screen ghosting

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Just got a AKAI PT5299HD rear projection TV from a friend. The screen is ghosting and it looks kind of bowed in and there is a burning smell. I put in a DVD and I looks like it is zoomed in. Some of the title is off the screen. I've a put pic of the screen as my profile photo. From what I've been reading I need to replace the convergence IC's. Can anyone verify that I am on the right track?

Thanks,
Jason

The convergence IC's would be

The convergence IC's would be a good start. Those AKAI's were actually a Samsung TV. You'll need to check for burnt resistors in and around the convergence IC's.

Sound good. How do you check

Sound good. How do you check the resistors? I know to use a multi-meter. But what resistance am I looking for?
