How to converge projection TV?

Dear Gsxer, Don't even think about doing that!!!. Did you know?, that your set takes about 3/4 hrs for the converegence to stabilize? I had an xbr53. Spend the $$$ and have the whole set up done.You get into that service menu;/truly a Pandora's box/nightmare.I had mine done by a pro. It took him 3 hrs to set the color temp/grey scale/convergence. BUT!!,what a difference,as in worth the price 3x over. The price was 350.You can't imagine he could make such an improvement;so much so that I got 2000 when I sold it to a friend.I have Pioneer Elite,same serv. guy.The improvement wasn't as great as the imp. to the xbr.BUT,I recomend/ don't play with it/and have it calibrated by a credentialled ISF guy.If you ever got into the serv. menu,in 4min you could do enough to get your set out of wack,that that would take 3hrs to undo/let alone the calibration itself.Spend the bucks,or live with it.

I agree with everything avguygeorge said. Don't mess with it yourself! I bought a Hitachi Ultravision 50" RPTV 3 years ago, it's been trouble-free. One of the deciding factors in that purchase was the picture (excellent!) and the fact that the set does it own autoconvergence itself. In the 3 years I've had it, I ran autoconvergence mode once when I got the set, and once again a few months ago. Enjoy your Sony, it's a GREAT set, but DO find a qualified ASF guy to set the convergence for you!
