I've done my google research and spoke to an IT person on campus though his diagnosis i couldn't find any thing on the interwebs to back it up.
Our projector is an older model Panasonic PTL6500U Been here for three years at least.
When displaying white or grey backgrounds (like PP, or Excel) a noticeable discoloration can be see some of the edges. (in our case, the Entire top, Entire Right, and a blotch against the side along the bottom) It yes yellowish and gives a bit of an unwanted burned paper look.
The little I was able to find out seems that it might be the organic compound on the "blue" polarizer (because it's yellow.) Campus IT said it could be the "CCD" chip though i couldn't find any reference to this on the internet.
Our projector does seem 'wise" enough to have been using the organic polarizer vs the newer method that uses Inorganic substances for the job.
Any thoughts or experiences with this from others.
I think i'll have to end up finding a time soon when it won't be needed (as it's used every week) and actually take it to repair shop and have them tell me that it'll cost 3 grand to fix it. :-( But thats me being negative, maybe it'll be 75 Bucks .
After i resolve this, i have another question regarding out Professional rental Venues and other college theatres mange the "lamp hours" of their installed projectors with faculty meetings, lectures, club events, etc that use their spaces?
Thanks in advance folks
