Default Zenith D60WLCD blue fog

hi all,

i inherited an awesome 60 inch tv from a rich friend!! only problem is
the bottom right corner (split the screen into 4 pieces, the bottom
right piece) is BLUE. If you look closely at it, it kind of
"wavers"/"flickers" around the edges (but the blue is constant for the
most part).

the guy replaced the lamp already, thinking that was the problem. so i
have a new lamp in the tv too! i talked to another guy and he said one
guy had a big screen tv and replaced the "computer chip" and it fixed
the problem for like $150. i tried looking for zenith parts but i
couldn't find any computer chip...

should i just call the zenith service center? if someone has had this
problem before, would be nice to suggest it to the service man at
least...

i figure if i can get by paying less than $500 i'm in great shape.
what do you guys think?

Any Integrated circuit can be called a computer chip. Your TV has
dozens of them in all the different circuits.
If you don't know TV repair, your best bet is to have it serviced by a pro.
It could be as simple as a problem with the optics to as complex as a
major digital signal problem.
Get an estimate.
