I have 2 epson EX31 projectors in our sanctuary that run the same image from the MAC. (song lyrics, slides, etc) Recently I replaced a bulb in one...and since then...the "White" levels in the projector I replaced the bulb...are noticeably dimmer or darker than the white levels on the other projector. Same wattage...same bulb part number. I've tried adjusting color levels...nothing works...any ideas?

If uniformity of the images is important, I would reccommend replacing the second bulb on the other projector with the same bulb, from the same vendor as you did the first. It may be too difficult to match them up otherwise (assuming the first bulb you bought isn't defective).

I hope this helps,
--Robert

SOURCE: Shadow developing

Hi there

If the shadow is always in the same place you will have to get one of the LCD's replaced.

It is the most common problem a LCD causes on a Projector.

SOURCE: The color on my Epson

Two possible solutions:

1) The video mode is set to Component/RGB instead of VGA.

2) The cable you have may have a break inside of it.

Let me know if you find anything.

SOURCE: images has a blue color across the center

Wow, 3 in a row. As described on 2 other projector issues this is very similar to those others. I'll repeat the info here.

I assume this is an LCD. I don't remember the s4 being a DLP projector.

This sounds like the LCD panel used for the blue color has gone out. The image is made up of red, green and blue images layered upon the screen. If the blue panel has gone out then there is nothing filtering out the red light in the image.

It looks like yours has just a secone of the panel dying or comming loose from it's connector.

It could be a simple open and reconnect fix. I personally have never opened a projector, so I'm not going to walk you through it as I do not know how hard it would be to tinker with. It should eb a cheap fix for a true repair man though.

Projected image too small

Did you replace the lamp with the EXACT type that was in the projector prior to changing it? Sounds like there is difference in lamps.

Epson 822+ Projector still dim after replacing bulb

I'm not familiar with your specific model, but are the units LCD or DLP? What I've seen in LCD projectors used in schools, museums, etc. that are left-on for several hours per-day, is that the UV filters in the optical blocks will fail. They usually change to an amber-brown color and block most of the light. It's the equivalent to putting sunglasses on. Do the units also exhibit a greenish-yellow tint instead of proper color?

My epson projector shows a non growing yellow tinge in the centre of the image. The projector is about 4 years old. EMP-TW700. I am a fairly heavy user.

Hi,
From my experience, the projector bulb has most likely received a blemish of some kind from something such as accumulated dust on the front, to a fingerprint from where it has been handled by someone replacing it.
This yellow tinge then occurs when the blemish is burned onto the surface of the bulb.
In my opinion, unfortunately, you may need to get a new bulb.
Hope this helps!

One of our Epson PowerLite projectors was working

We found that the bulb was dim because it was about to burn out. The projector's filter han't been kept clean, causing it to run hot, which in turn shortened the bulb's life.
