Question about Hitachi 50V710 50" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television
Light Engine and Optical Block are the same thing ... just different names. It's listed twice many times so that it's easier to search on the web. Hopefully Hitachi will do something about it some day. I plan on letting everyone out there know about it so we can all go after Hitachi. There is a Suit filed against them for the 50v500 set that has the same types of problems ... perhaps it will cover the problems with the 50v710 also. Hitachi did absolutely nothing to help me with the problem. I had to find the part and fix it myself.

Tonight my son noticed an area of yellow to yellow-greenish discoloration on the bottom half of my Hitachi 50v710. At first is was hard for me to see, but I fear it is getting worse. My set had the lamp go out last fall, which was replaced under warranty. I will attempt to post follow-ups as I learn more.
There have been two possible diagnoses posted in reply to the
Yellow-green discoloration problem. One of them said the problem was
the Light Engine and the other said it was the Optical Block. Can someone please explain
what the difference is and how to discriminate between the two . I
really don't want to sound like too much of a dummy when I talk
to Hitachi customer service and/or Warranty representative.
Thanks,
Gdaddy
