DLP Projector color wheel malfunction?
chris m asked:
:UPDATE:
I sent the projector to Optoma under warranty. I haven’t been given a specific issue yet, however I did find out that it could be the electronics degrading due to overheating or the color wheel mechanism could be bad. There is a little wheel with Red Green Blue colors that spins in front of the lamp creating colors. It could be out of sync. Optoma told me that the projector can be sent to them for a cleaning every couple months for free, if under warranty.

ORIGINAL Q:
I have an Optoma 739 with about 800 hours on the first lamp. Recently after about 1hour of operation the image color begins to flicker and the image turns green. The projector is used in a smoking environment. What happened to the color wheel ; if it is that? And how can I prevent this in the future?
