Do not - I repeat - Do not reach in and adjust the magentic rings in the TV. These are for rough adjusments only and will not solve the problem. It will make things worse. If your TV looks 3D and the convergence menu won't fix it - the convergence chips are no longer working -and should be replaced. You can wing the repair or you can get a complete kit + instructions and support from www.TvRepairKits.com
