So for the last 4 years and 8 months I've been the proud owner of a Panasonic PT47WX42F RP HDTV. Unfortunately, last night, I think the digital convergence chips went bad. I had the TV on and everything was fine, went into the other room, and when came back in the red was completely out of whack. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but it's like the red portion was severely disfigured as well as ghosted to the point where it was completely unwatchable. The image was also very jittery. I brought up the basic convergence menu and instead of there being 1 red cross, there were like 3 and not where it was supposed to be. As a test, I went into the service menu and shut off the digital convergence, this of course caused the image to get completely screwed up, but the interesting thing is that the red stopped ghosting and the jittery-ness went away. Of course the picture was completely un-converged and squished, but that was expected due to shutting of digital convergence.
So, do you guys this my diagnosis is correct? Is there another problem that presents these symptoms? I'm not sure if I should try and get it fixed or just get a new set. What do you guys think?

Of course if the smart choice is to just fix this one.
