Colour Misalignment? I'm not sure what would cause this, but my Philips cBright projector has a wide yellow band fading into the image on the left of the display and a narrow blue band fading into the image on the right of the display. The projector is out of warranty and I it isn't economically viable to pay for its repair so I am hoping to look at it myself since I have some experience with electronic equipment. I have uploaded a photograph of the display's fault for reference. Any information will be extremely useful. Thanks. http://www.ouija2k.net/projector.jpg

I had a little look inside at the LCDs and lenses etc but couldn't see anything obviously wrong. Do you reckon a DIY alignment would be possible? The most I've done is open it up and "have a look around" before closing it again :)

Phillips bSure XG1 LC3141 Projector. Images are dull in colour, and also has yellow tinge all over. Have replaced lamp but this did not fix the problem. Unit ~ 7 years old.

Try opening the unit and cleaning the LCD and lens, and also clean the outer lens- it sounds like this unit may have been stored or used in a smokey environment!

Hi i have a Philips 4331 LCD projector its giving me double image which is not well colour mixed i have tryed to clean all the LCD pannel and all the lance but problem is still the same, if you have any...

If you are having "shadowing", this indicates a convergence problem in the LCD optical engine. Convergence is the correct alignment of all panels so there is no shadowing, or at worst limited to a one pixel shift. Some models can be adjusted, others cannot depending on the optical engine.

VGA Cable max Length from Laptop to Projector

Your on the edge, possible that the image will be unstable (wiggly). Considered a VGA amp from Gefen to up the drive. 50ft is about max. You can try dumbing down the res if it is unstable. Less horizonal frequency to travel long distance. good luck

The left side of the screen is blueish?

The blue or yellow haze problem in this projector is because of two factors. 1) Dust buildup inside the optics and 2) Fading colour filters used in the internal optical process.

Inside the projector the white light from the lamp is split into three distinct colours of red, green and blue. Each colour illuminates their own monochrome LCD. Those LCDs are mounted on a prism that combines the separate images and displays the result you see via the lens.

The optical process to split the light up inside the projector is fairly complex and involves many light filters and mirrors to direct the light to the appropriate lcds. Those filters and lenses accumulate dust and also fade over time due to heat and other environmental factors.

I know that sharp sells replacement filters at $100 a piece. I do not know if Hitachi sells replacements.

To remove the dust and change filters you have to take apart the projector in a fairly complex way. I do not suggest that the average user do this. Good luck!

Yellow band on the edge of screen

Hi chucri

This is most definitely not a lamp problem.

If a yellow colour in either stripes or blotches occur it is a blue LCD polarizer that needs replacement.

Yellow hallo problem

It sounds like it is related to the red filtered glass before the prism inside the projector. When this gets to hot, it will burn a spot on the glass that causes the yellow spot. I have seen in happen on alot of epson 53c projectors. This has a red filter that is easily scratched when it gets too hot. It will actually look burnt.

Yellow area in the projected image

Hello Media Man,

Looks like your projector has done it. Thats acommon trouble to ageing polirising lens, usually the blue. less blue, the green and red make up the yellowish image on the screen. The blue is bombarded with tremendous heat from the lamp and it fade and wash out. If its free, its worth replacing. Get quote for the poliriser; 2 pieces each color.
Good Luck.
