I have a new bulb, with under 300 hours of lamp life, recently (last 100 hours) a blueish tint is showing up more vividly throughout the picture... Looks bad with dark images. Anyway, I'm trying to determine if this is a problem with my projector itself or if I got a bad replacement bulb through B&H photo.
I've ruled out a cable... I get the same results using HDMI, VGA and Component cables. Any help would be appreciated.
HI, I also installed a new buld a month or so ago and am now having the blueish tint problem. Has a solution or cause been identified?HI, I also installed a new buld a month or so ago and am now having the blueish tint problem. Has a solution or cause been identified?

I bought a Pansonic AE700U a couple of years ago from Visual Apex. When I first bought the unit, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little dismayed to find that I only got 900 hours out of my first bulb since they said I should get upwards of 1500. Nonetheless, the unit worked great with my high definition system. I replaced the bulb and everything has worked fine for the last year and I now have upwards of 1800 hours on the second bulb. About 3 months ago the screen got a blue hue that started in the right corner and got progressively bigger until it encompassed over half the screen. The blue was most notable when the background was black or very dark. We weren't sure if the bulb had gone bad since it continued to operate fine minus the annoying blue hue. Then, as we were viewing a movie recently, the screen created a "broken window" in the center two-thirds of the screen that has a yellowish tint. It appears to have pushed the blue hue back outside the border of the "broken window".The best way to describe what we are seeing is it is like looking through a piece of broken glass. There is the standard rectangular image that now has a large oval shaped, jagged "window" in the center. I put up with the blue hue but this new problem makes it too annoying to tolerate. Thinking I should have gone with the Sanyo.

It appears we might be running into a Panasonic problem with the projector. I have just started getting the same blue hue without having changed any bulb. The unit is about 3 years old with 1,465 hours on the original lamp. It appears we might be running into a Panasonic problem with the projector.

I have the same problem with my panasonic PT500. A blueish color starting from the right that propagate throught the screen. I had this projector for 5 years and always running in wish mode. The problem started 3 month after I replaced the Lamp.

We have a PT-AE770U Panasonic Projector. It is 4 years old and we are on the second blub...been in for about 3 months now. We are NOW having a blue tint on the left hand corner of our screen. HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM? Nobody seems to know what to do.
Is it the lens, filter or the mother board ?

No...
lcp panels will look different when going bad !
this is the polarization filter, most of the time the one BEFORE the lcd panel (blue in this case).
these should be cheap but are not easy to get...so you might pay quite a lot.
you can also buy polarization filter sheets and cut them to size.
keep in mind to check for the right orientation !

Re:
Most likely not a bulb problem (substitute a known good bulb if you have one to be sure). more likely is a bad LCD panel inside the projector. the light is split into 3 beams which go through 3 LCD panels (red, green, and blue) which produce the picture. the blue panel could be going bad.

Your blue picture tube is failing. Invest in a new TV. "If" you can find a new set of tubes(you have to replace all 3 red blue and green) they are around $800-1000. Not cost effective. Run the TV into the ground if you want to wait but do not invest any repair money in my opinion.
Hello, it sounds like the lamp has gone bad, it's gone interminent to the point its like a flasher in your cars blinker system. If you remove it, you might see if it's discolored to a blueish tint instead of a shiny silver mirror finish. On those with the small lamp it can be harder to see. the lamp number is XL-2400.....tks
You're either using old/expired film, or taking photos during dusk. Color film is balanced for daylight photography. Using it under conditions other than that will result in varying color casts on the resulting images.
Fluorescent lighting: Greenish
Indoor bulbs: Reddish/orange
Outdoor at night/dusk: Blueish/purpla
Ourdoor at dawn: Pink/blue
Or, you may have just gotten bad print work done. Try a different lab.
pepsi_2_cola, If after reseating the vga plug to vga connector 3-5 times and the problem still persists, you will need to see about having the unit refurbished with new "switch-mode-power-supply"/ "inverter board" and possibly new "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps" installed. visit YOUTUBE before doing the refurb thing! Search and view vids on "lcd monitor disassembly" , "lcd monitor repair" the longer ones are more imformative. then get back here with what you have learned about how lcd monitors fail with age and amount of total "ON" hours of use. please state the age of monitor next time! a gateway 1975 could be 4-6 years old! It could also be time for a new one! You DO KNOW that those "cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps" don't last forever!!!!! 12fixlouie If this was of any help please rat this response on fixya.
