I have had good results with this projector but recently the projected content has had green/ purple shadows. Any ideas why/ how to fix this issue?

We have not experienced this symptom. We have had our projector for several years,use it frequently and it works very well.

My only suggestion is that you change out the cables you are using. If you are using VGA or HDMI, etc., try a new one. Sometimes that will take care of the problem.

It sounds as though whatever cabling you're using to go from the Laptop to the Projector has gone bad and you should replace it with a new one. This has happened to me before and the cable has always been the problem.

To be honest with you, especially when dealing with money, I sent mine back after having it for only a week. I sent it back because it did not play all m dvds or my flash drive. With my dealings with it, it played some of my items, which did not suit well with me. I hope I answered your question and I am not trying to discredit the company, I'm simply being honest in my dealings with the projector and why I do not have it anymore.

We have ordered this two times and have not had that issue. If it blows up it means the light is getting too hot. Your projector should have a fan that cools this down (should continue to run for a bit after you turn your projector off).

Hi Felicia! I think I had the same problem when I started for the first time the projector...I have windows 8 in my notebook..I needed to adjust the resolution at Control panel. Or maybe check the configurations at projetor menu. I hope you solve your problem, if not, let me know. =)

There is an big issue with compatibility with certain Bluray Players: it seems to me that on a lot of them, you don't have shadow detail. My cheap Toshiba Bluray player was exactly like this. Sadly there is no way to fix it. there are no settings to change it. The only thing that works 100% sure is use a laptop or PC to power it. But this has nothing to do with the projector itself, just some confusion on the basis of HDMI and how bluray player and projector don't seem to work together as they should.

Have you tried a different via cable if that is how you are connected? Move the existing cable around, does the color improve/change? Check the pins in the ends of the cable, are any of them bent? If you connect other video sources such as a vcr or DVD player is this also green? Working with projectors for 10 years has taught me If all inputs result in a green or yellow screen you have a failing light engine, if it's just one component you most likely have a bad cable.

We have the Sony 55" W900 model. We have not seen any of those issues. The picture has been very clear. Our children and grandchildren have also been watching 3D movies with no issues and this group would point it out to us very quickly. I should also point out that I did not know what banding, flashlighting, or clouding problems were, but reviewed the issues on the internet to see what I should be looking for. We have not had any of those issues.

When using your flash it will come out green. You will have a greenish shadow in the bottom of every picture whether you use flash or not

Not sure, but this projector didn't have clear characters on the screen. Not recomended!

I ended up buying the benq but I also ordered the pro grey screen. I did send it back and ordered the white screen. The reason I did this is because I felt the grey screen dimmed down the image. If you had a really bright projector then it might work well but I have been really pleased with the white screen.

I have the same results with these. I am running Philips OEM HIDs in these. The general output is great but there is not much of a blueish color at the cutoff if any at all. I have heard of people modding other projectors by bending the cutoff shield closer or farther away to get the desired color layer. However, I have not tried that with these or if it's possible with this model. Good luck on your search for a good mod that will work.

It depends on how long you've had your projector! Mine is still working but I don't use it but ever now n then but all n all this projector had the longest bulb life which is way I choose it. So if your display isn't showing any more you may want to check the hdmi cable n see if the cord is the problem! If not then your next option is to replace the bulb in the unit or since most projection bulbs are 125 themselves you may as well just by another unit which is what I plan on doing when mine goes! Just let me know how it works out for you!

I'm not a huge gamer, but I've played games like GTA V and COD. I notice no lag at all when using either 2D or 3D modes. In fact, the games look and feel great. I had to change some settings and modes on the projector to get the colors/darkness settings right. Once I did, games and movies all look simply fantastic.

There are different color tint settings that may have been changed. It tells you select the wall color you are projecting on and based on that it adjusts the tint and this may have been changed

I had to use a separate audio cable when I connected the HDMI and I don't know if that was a symptom of the projector that I was using or the cable. I'll test the cable on another TV to see if that works and amend this response.

Hello Samuel. You should be able to get 100% corner to corner focus. Have you adjusted the keystone dial next to the inputs? It moves very slightly in either direction and with a little bit of tweaking you can get a perfectly focused image. Also, remember that the projector should be perpendicular to the screen (straight and not crooked) otherwise you may see some blurring on the left or right edge. If the projector is angled at more than 15 degrees up or down you will need to correct it, as the keystoning only allows for 15 degrees up or down. I hope this helps and please feel free to contact us if you are unable to get it focused 100%. Hello Samuel. You should be able to get 100% corner to corner focus.
