50″ DLP TV problem. The screen went yellow in the center, and eventually went all yellow. What could this be?
I can get this on the cheap. But with TVs things are either easy or super expensive. I’ve heard that you can warm up the IC’s and perhaps fix the problem, can anyone assist with advice?
Additional Details
I have some additional information on the model and type :
Hitachi Rear Projection DLP 50V720
Second number on the model number is v5k011013, year 2005
Please help, this deal is close to being lost if I don’t act soon.

The Tv has a plastic screen cover. I was trying to remove a scratch and used some plastic polish. The screen cover is out of stock. Is there any anti-glare coating that will cover this?

Hi, I have a Hitachi 50VS810 LCD projection tv. It is 5 years old and is in great shape, tv sold for $2000.00 new (the lamp is only 1 year old). Last lamp lasted 3 years. I now own a Plasma, so I need to sell this one, but I’m not sure how much to ask for it (Craigslist). I haven’t had much luck finding any used ones to get a price idea. Thank You.

I have a Sony rear-projection tv that I bought off some guy who had posted on Craigslist. And the tv’s great, nice picture, big screen, I think it’s a 52 inch. But, what I didn’t notice when I bought it that the sticker where the model number is usually written is ripped off. That seems kind of suspicious, but it’s been a few months since I bought it and he said he was going to buy a new one and it’s not like we made some kind of an official contract, so ‘returning’ is not an option.
But well here’s what happened: I think I need to change the lamp because the red ‘Lamp’ light flashes everytime I try to turn it on.
Only problem is, I don’t know the model number.
So, if anyone recognizes this tv or has one or knows where to find the model number, I would REALLY appreciate it!!

I bought the tv back in march of 06, and I have not had any problems with it yet. But I have heard people are having lamp issues with it, so I am worried that I may have the same problems. I bought it for 2500, and was wondering if you guys think it was a good deal at the time. I bought it at costco and it came with the stand. I am curious also if that model was the correct one for the time I bought it. Which was march of 06. I hear people saying that they bought there in mid 05, and was wondering if I bought a year old model that I payed the full price for. Anyone who has either bought this tv or has info on it info on it, I would like your thoughts..Thank you very much

Has anyone tried connecting their cable box to their receiver and upconverting the video to 1080p? I want to know how standard definition looks when upconverted? How does the HD channels look? I have a couple of 1080p HDTV’s and am curious as to how this would look. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Please answer only if you have done this before.
Just as a reference the TV’s I have are:
Sony KDL-52XBR6 (LCD)
Panasonic TH-50PZ80U (Plasma)
Samsung HL-50A650 (Rear Projection)
I really want to know if it is worth doing. I was considering a Yamaha receiver with 3 or 4 HDMI Inputs that upscale to 1080p.

I can’t seem to find any reviews on this TV. Ciccuit City is using it as a warranty replacement for my old RCA 52″ projection piece of crap. The TV is 50″ 1080p, with a 2500:1 contrast ratio. The only downside I see is s slightly lower contrast ratio compared to the 10000:1 I have been seing on other TV’s. I just wish there were some reviews so I could decide whether I should buy the extended warranty 2 Years -$250 and 5 years – $450.

Hey, I bought a hitachi 50v500 projection tv with special lamps. The tv works fine but there is a huge red spot that takes up about 30% of the screen. I have consulted ebay professionals and have gotten mixed answers, so I do not really know whats wrong with my tv. This was the flagship model about 4 or 5 years ago and it is high def 720p. I did purchase this tv about 4 years ago and i have never changed the lamp or bulb, so it does appear like the picture has faded over time. I have a westinghouse that was quite a bit cheaper and newer and it is simply amazing, its a 32 inch and is so clear it can almost be high def in itself without it being actually in high def. I hope I didnt spend$3000 for nothing, cuz right now my $700 tv looks better than the $3,000 one.

I’m searching for an HD TV to purchase in the lower thousand range. Nothing crazy but want to get my money’s worth. Samsung 46″ and 50″ are what I’m looking and definitely do not want plasma. Is 780p really that bad or is it where technology is at right now and the 1080p and i are ahead of their time?!?

I bought a Sony Bravia 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV w/ 16,000:1 Contrast Ratio, 3 HDMI inputs, and other stuff along with a 5YR Warranty totaling $3,000. Right now I’ve been watching TV on like a 52″ SD Projection TV. Do you think there will be that noticeable of a difference? Did I make a good investment?
I still haven’t brought it home from the store yet…
