While there are several types of projection TV, including DLP and LCD projection, the original
type was the CRT (cathode ray tube) based technology. Therefore, the term "projection TV" ,
without any qualifiers, is assumed to be the CRT type. These tend to be larger than their DLP
(Digital light Processor) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) cousins.

Each of these have their distinct , popular repair issues as well.The CRT projection TV will
often have the condition described as "3d colors", "blurry colors" or "out of focus".
This is a problem with the "convergence system" which lands the the three CRT beams in the
proper place.When this fails, one or more colors will be out of place, causing a color shadow
on the images.None of the adjustments will correct this since there are internal components
that have failed. Don't worry! We can repair this "in-home" for reasonable price. 

The second most common projection TV is the DLP type.
It's most popular repair request is usually related to the lamp. Many of these sets have lamp
status indicators on the front panel which will light or flash if there is a lamp-start
problem. Often, but not always, this is just a defective lamp. See our lamp rebuild offer and
"how to" guide. Better yet, have us come out and evaluate the set if you are not sure about
the lamp being the problem.

The third, less common type, is the LCD projection. The "wall projector" used for business and
classroom presentations , usually employ an LCD matrix. Some of the home style rear
projectors,were produced with a LCD "light engine" also. Some common complaints with
these are ,like the DLPs, about the internal lamp not lighting.Additionally there may be
problems with the picture coloration, or color blotches, or stripes .Each of the above need to
be evaluated on an individual basis, since the underlying problems and repair costs vary with
make and model.
