OK this is going to be a problem with one of the LCD screens in your TV (part of the light engine)...
There are 3 miniature LCD screens (1 for Red, 1 for Green & 1 for Blue) & usually the blue one goes bad; the Blue color is such a high wavelength of light it bombards & destroys either the LCD screen or the small polarizer lens in front of the screen. This eventually happens on all DLP TVs but is VERY common with Hitachi.
I repair them all the time at my shop but it is very time consuming so if you take it to a shop you can expect a high labour charge.
There are not many techs that change these screens, most just change the entire light engine ($1000 & up). It's too bad labour costs have gotten so high because ultimately this is just one small part about 2 inch square & your set would be as good as new.
Nearly the entire TV has to be taken apart to get to the screens & polarizer I'm talking about.
