50 in Hitachi rear projection, 7 years old.
I know this is a long shot but just thought maybe there was someone out there that could advise me on this, dont want to get screwed by the TV fix it guy.
Heres what its doing, sometimes it clears up and sometimes not. It also does this with a VHS or DVD in play....Theres no way I can go back to a smaller TV.....LMAO 
Thanks!

Dig out the manual and look up if there is a knob to twiddle to get it into sync on external sources.

I hope you are not dealing with Catho-ray tubes
and that there isn't a moth stuck inside the projector.
My sis had one that was back on the 1990's
and the colors would fade in and out...
so we had to replace the color-thing-a-ma-bob 
but I know that doens't help you one bit. 
Sorry

Not really too crazy. Too bad televisions don't have a degauss button. Just don't touch the speaker to the screen.
Is that a speaker on top of the television? If so, try moving all speakers away from the set. Maybe one is going out and throwing some magnetic interference.

Have you ever had the mirrors cleaned/realigned? May be the problem. I haven't had mine done either but it's supposed to be annual maintenance.

I say have the T.V. repair guy come over and fix it...
...and then when he asks for payment...
....fire bomb HIM!
Good luck with fixing the TV, Jonny...Wish I could help but my VCR still flashes 12:00 at me and I have NEVER successfully recorded anything from the television.

This is going to sound crazy but give it a good hit with your open hand. If that helps, or changes the problem then it probably is bad solder joints. The Chinese suck at soldering and most bad electronics I have seen can be fixed with a steady hand, which I no longer have so I toss them

I've already seen my thoughts on the cause twice. It looks like it's been magnetized. Move the speakers and anything else magnetic away and then have your TV dude give it a degaussing.
I kind of like it that way though. It reminds me of my High School years.
