Hi Al. You have pincushioning, and I've seen the convergence board cause this problem, and it will return if you do not A replace the board with an upgraded board or B perform the upgrade yourself To readjust this unit I believe 0-6-2-5-9-6 menu sequence will access the convergence page or the service menu. If it isn't the convergence then try 0-6-2-5-9-7-menu. You can generally adjust the convergence, but the digital data will get lost if A); you Did Not press the power button on the front of the TV after completing the adjustments, or B) you did not upgrade the convergence board. It may last a day or 2 months. but the eeproms lose the convergence data .
