I own a Mitsubishi WS-65907 Projection TV which I purchased in
2001 .......Actually, I think it may be some type of convergence issue
afterall. A few things: First, the TV automatically selects the
"Standard" format anytime the source is 1080i, it will NOT allow you
to choose ANY other viewing format. Second, the Toshiba HD DVD player
will automatically down-convert from 1080i to 480p/480i if you
attached it by S-Video cable or RCA type of cable to theTV and if it
does that the format being played is displayed on the unit. To verify
this I used a regular DVD in the HD player and connected it with
Component cables and it said 480p on the unit. But when the HD DVD
was played thru the Component cables 1080i was displayed on the unit,
so the component cables have no problem transferring the 1080i
signal. Third, I have a "Directv" HD satellite receiver and I get
about 7 HD channels but I forgot that I am viewing them in 480p
according to the display on the sat receiver. They look much better
than other channels because the source is in HD even though I am
watching them in 480p. When I select 1080i on the sat receiver the
picture gets distorted just like the HD DVD. So that convinces me
that HDMI cables are not "absolutely necessary" to view a 1080i source
because "Discovery HD" is not encoding their broadcasts, forcing
people to use a HDMI cable . Fourth, the picture distortion I
described in my original email is not completely accurate in that it
occurs not only toward the edges but in the middle of the screen as
well. At times it looks like part of the picture is compressed while
the rest of the picture is normal. It almost seems like the picture
is compressed just enough to "fit" on the 16x9 screen but you can't
quite see the edges - if that makes any sense. So having said all of
that is it a convergence issue on just my TV? Is this problem
inherent on most or all Projection TVs from 2001 and earlier? Is it a
problem only for Mitsus? I spent $5000 to buy this TV and $500 to fix
it (module replacement) in 2003 and another $500 in 2005. I guess I
got a "Lemon" of a Mitsu but I'm 6 grand into this thing and don't
really want to buy a new TV. It seems to me that if this problem is
inherent on all Mitsu projection TVs then they should have never
advertised it as HDTV capable!
What module was replaced? What was the second service? Perhaps it was not
aligned correctly after the service?
