What does it mean when there is no blue line visible on convergence?

I have Samsung Rear Projection TV. The picture quality is good but the colors are off (blue appears green). I did the red convergence. When I try to do the blue convergence the blue line never appears, regardless of me trying to make it appear.
Does this mean the blue lamp is out altogether? Thanks.
I know think that the blue is working, but there is no white. There appears to be an abundance of yellow and I believe that is causing most blues to appear green. How can I reduce the yellow? Bye the way, I am able to do the red convergence up down and left right, but on blue convergence no blue ever shows up. There is no green convergence on this Samsung. Also when attempted to tint the colors the only choices are green to red, there is no blue on that, not sure if that is normal.

My rear projection TV has some of the coating on the plastic screen missing. Is there any way to fix this?

The Tv has a plastic screen cover. I was trying to remove a scratch and used some plastic polish. The screen cover is out of stock. Is there any anti-glare coating that will cover this?

how do I fix a rear screen projection tv. Looks like there is a hair in the red lense?

When the tv show I’m watching goes to a black screen, I see what appears to be a hair reflection on the bottom left of the screen. It’s not parallel to either the side or the bottom, so I do think it’s a hair inside the lens. The red is off on the top half of the screen, again in a non liner way. The bottom right 25% of the screen looks fine. I opened up the tv, and while I can clean the top of the lens, I can’t clean below the lease that rotates to focus the red.

Is it a hair? Can it be fixed? How do I get the hair out of there?

Thanks SO much!!

For some reason I was thinking that there were 2 lamps that needed to be replaced, one on each lower side. Can someone please tell me for sure wether it takes one lamp or two? Are they easy to replace, and where would the cheapest place be to bet one with a warranty?? Thank you for helping!!!

Sony 3 LCD projection Tv – Are there any problems?

I’m thinking of buying a Sony 3LCD projection TV with a Bravia Engine. The model is KF42E200A. I’m just worried about two thing…
1. Will green blobs or other blobs pop up on the screen, which then have to be fixed expensively.
2. With optimum contrast settings, how long can I expect my lamp to last? How much will it cost? It appears that Sony does not advertise lamp costs to an unsuspecting customer even when that customer enquires. They give approximate costs only.
But I like this Tv a lot and want to buy it. Price/Size/Picture Quality factor is v.good.

DLP TV, Front or rear projection? Is there a better type?

I’m looking to buy a DLP tv. I’ve narrowed it down to two models from My local electronics store. First is a 60 inch mitsubishi, second is a 50 inch Samsung. The 60 inch is a rear projection, while the 50 inch is a front projection. Other than size and price, That’s the big difference. And I’m not sure what way to go. Naturally, I’m thinking the 60 inch only because of the size, but the 50 inch would fit in the room better, since it has to go up a staircase with a sharp turn. Then, of course the 50 inch is about $300.00 cheaper. So is there a better version of the DLP style TV? Front, or Rear Projection?
P.S. I do specifically want a DLP TV, Not an LCD or Plasma. (personal preference)

Is there any maintenance I can perform on my older rear projection big screen tv?

My in-laws gave my wife and I their older Magnavox 56″ rear projection big screen television and the color seems distorted. No matter how I adjust the settings some colors show up brighter than others and some duller than others. Is there any maintenance I can perform or should I just call a professional? I’ve heard that maybe I need to change the bulb, but that was only a thought. Thanks!

Is there any practical way to clean the inside of the screen on a rear projection tv?

There is a really annoying really really small black spot on my rear projection screen and I think it is on the inside of the screen. It does not appear to be a nick on the front so I am guessing it must be something stuck to it from the inside…hmmm I want it gone.
10 points to anyone who knows any cool pointers.

1) Where should I buy a Mitsubishi 57″ DLP Projection TV, or do you think there is a better TV in this range?

I live in Dallas and have been researching this TV for some time and have shopped Best Buy, Circuit City, Conn’s, Sears..Looking like $1999. Are there any better places I should be looking at…How about online….any good deals out their? I like the long term no interest payment plans these places offer.

2) I have Fios Cable and love it; what is the best “cable” hook up I should use? ie. hdmi,component,(does it really matter)…Where should I buy this cable?

3) Many say no, but should I buy a extended warranty?

4) Do the HD channels utilize the full capabilty of the TV, ie the 1080p or only 720p.

5) Can you explain the Lines per inch with the DVD upgrade and the Blu Ray units?

Thanks in advance and have a great day!!.
