Re: DLP color wheel squeeking Update:
Got the color wheel last night and I put it in. Fairly easy but a bit time consuming if you are careful ... which I was 
After reassembly I turned the TV on and sure enough ... everything was blue as described in that online tutorial linked to above. So I found a jumper and removed it. Tried again and all colors were correct.
So most channels look great and no problems; but not all. Some channels don't look so good. They have kind of a weird shadowy look.
So does this thing have to be calibrated or something? |

kudos:1 | Is this something I can do or will I end up having to take it to a TV repairman anyway?
It seems as though my colors are fine. It looks like it is the blacks or dark areas, that are the problem. The dark areas seem to have what looks like oil slicks or shiny areas that break up. |

The dark areas seem to have what looks like oil slicks or shiny areas that break up. thats because changing the colorwheel is very similar to changing a timing belt/chain on a car, it will run, but not up to 100% performance until its timing is calibrated.
so, what youre seeing is the timing of the each color glass pie on the colorwheel, is slightly off.
you could do this and i could guide you through it, can you provide me with the complete model number and a version if possible ?
the sticker is located on the right front side of the unit.
the reason i ask is so i can provide you with a powerpoint slide on calibration if necessary.
thanks. |

kudos:1 | That makes sense. If you could do that you would be a life saver.
I thought maybe that was the case because in the box with the new color wheel there was a sticker with some RGB values and stuff. This lead me to believe that perhaps I had to "set" these new values somewhere.
I assume that I have to calibrate this because this color wheel is slightly different than the old one. If I had gotten exactly the same one as my old one then I would not have to set anything? Because I read online other people replacing their color wheels and I did not read anyone having to calibrate theirs.
