Understood. Thanks for the input. You are right, it should be serviced
by a qualified technician -- I just wanted to do due diligence and
verify I'm not missing something trivial. For all I can say, it's
probably a convergence board issue -- convergence is way off, and it
doesn't get any better when I try to adjust it manually.
Here's what it looks like:

Two conditions will affect this, first is leaking crt onto the deflection
board, very common with Samsung, Akai RPTV CRT SETS. Second in failure in
the convergence dynamic output circuit or the fluid has also gotten to
the signal circuit contaminating the DCU assembly. In depth diagnostics
required to assure that there is no coolant fluid leakage, and if there
is, what is damaged. BTW the crts come with the yokes attached. When
changing any of them for leakage order the crt circuit boards (complete 3
card assembly with focus assembly) also. What a nice design!!


I should have mentioned that the TV in question is a projection TV.

If its a Plasma set you will have to call for
service there is zip you can do yourself.
If its a regular pro set change the convergence IC,s

I have a 42" Akai projection TV, model PT4298HD. I turned it on today
and saw that the picture appeared misaligned -- the red color displays
in an out-of-sync, non-horizontal shape. See these pictures:

I've tinkered with computers, but I'm new to projection TVs. Any pointer
in the right direction will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
