Expert: cleggsan - 7/6/2009

Question
QUESTION: My RCA TV is showing double pictures.Recently started and can't figure out what to do.

ANSWER: If your tv is a rear projection type the problem is convergence.  Repair will cost $300 to $400.

If it is not a rear projection then you must give me a model number so that I know what kind of television it is.

Thank you,
C



---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: the TV is R52WH74  I've checked the TV to see if I could go to auto convergence but no such switch.

Answer
Yes, you have a rear projection set. The problem you are facing is failure of the convergence system. IT will need repair which must be done by a trained RCA tech.  Cost will be in the $300 to $400 area as already stated to you.  Sorry for the bad news.
