I have a Viewsonic PJD6531W projector and is getting some bright starlight specks and also some black ones, where can I get parts for this projector? It seems to be coming from the image processor that is behind the lens.

I ordered a 1280-6338B Chip form ebay. Cost me $117. From this seller. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271214390557 The original chip is 1280-6038B but the 6038 are shitty and have a known short life the mess up after a year, the 6338 is the second version of that chip that fits. I replaced it in my projector and that seemed to fix it. The chip has little mirrors or something on one side that if you take out, and look closely, you will notice tiny specs where the pixels burnt out. The link aboce says 6038, but if you read description, its actually the 6338B. When you take off the plastic of the projector, it is located no more than 2 inches away from the lens. You need to take out the block with the lens be careful not to scratch the lens. Good luck, if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help answer. polak667@hotmail.com

I have the same problem! This has really been bothering me, especially when it goes in and out. I am going to try to change the backlight and also notice if it has something to so with it only happening with bright shots.) Since it is under service warranty, I definitely plan to call the service repair number. Did any of you call for service? I will check the model of my 40" sony.

I have about 6 ViewSonic PJD projectors. I had active shutter glasses that worked for except the 3D blu ray on my PJD 5234L which is "Blu-Ray ready. The other glasses worked on 3D through this projector but not on blu ray.. The SainSonic 3D glasses worked on everything including the Blu-Ray. Not even earlier ViewSonic glasses worked with the Blu-Ray on this projector. I'm under the impression that all of the PJD 5 series are similar and I would expect the SainSonic Rainbow series to work on them, but I do not have the specific PJD5533. For the low price I would certainly give at least on pair a try - I think you'll like the features!

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon with DLP technology (a white and black dot "rash" that gets worse over time). Ours did the same after a year of use and I have seen this many times at work even with regular sized, more expensive projectors. It is never worth repairing due to cost but hopefully you are still under warranty and they would replace it if you have owned it only a short time (since you have only used it 20 hours). Worth checking with the company. I contacted them but we were out of warranty already. We went with a bigger but still very portable LED projector when replacing. Good luck and I hope it works out.

I purchased the cable through Amazon from AV House. Unfortunately, I came to the realization that the projector did not suit my needs after the time period when I could return the cable. I still have the cable if you are interested.

1 I have since sent back glasses and my PT-AE-8000u Projector and switched to the Epson 6020 do to Panasonic"s poor customer service and flat out bad warranty. epson cost about $400 more but came with mount, extra bulb, 2 pair 3d glasses and the best warranty of any projector picture quality is the same as the Panasonic, but does have better black's

Will it work? Yes. Will it work well? Ehh...It's a single layer of white cloth. The black shows through a little bit and comes out a tad grey overall.It you're trying to find a cheap, collapsible projector screen I'd recommend the white side of a reflector that includes white. It'll be a truer and less sheer white for you, giving you a brighter picture.Also keep in mind that it is an oval so your corners are cut down and actual usable screen size will be more like 4.25x6 feet

Yes, that is true! i have this projector at 1 year ago with 2 viewsonic active shutter glasses and a PS3 320Gb (move) with the last fw 3.56 for 3D support and NEVER, "NEVER" can see in 3D... grrrrrr!!! i do try softwares to generate 3D with the laptop like Tridef, etc with no lucky... i am an experimented technical user and reading a lot about this think the last thing to do is wait the last presentation of Viewsonic, the VP3D1 3D converter box to use with the projector... is the same of the Optoma 3D-XL, but i hope the VP3D1 are cheapest!sorry my bad english! :)

I thought those projector lights had actual led strips if they are aftermarket but maybe not i would say try to get one out an see if it looks like a little glass wedge.

Maybe not. I got a replacement bulb for earlier projector (PJD5123) and found it did not fit. By the time I found out, return date had expired. Not sure how to return it anyway. It came from China. Buyer Beware on foreign replacement bulbs. They may not fit. And the bulb may not be the problem. I had to send a projector back to ViewSonic after replacing another bulb. It turned out the bulb was not the problem at all. Good luck. Be careful. Try the bulb IMMEDIATELY after receipt and attempt to return if if does not work. GOOD LUCK.

I dont think it is caused by color wheel, it could be dirt on your projection lense. The wheel spins so fast that it will not generate any spots.

I have a completely dark theater/game room with walls painted with medium gray flat wall paint. My screen is a large - 200" diagonal and white. My present Epson 720p projector is 2700 lumens which I set the bulb at normal not eco and dynamic setting without turning up the brightness at all for best picture. 1800 lumens is considerably less than 2700 lumens but if I turn up the brightness will this give me the same quality picture I have now? Thanks, Donn

Not one that comes in the box...you'll have to search for a third party one. I purchased this one: PCMD Projector Ceiling Mount for ViewSonic Pro8300 and it works, but it's very tough to get centered perfectly due to the rubber ball mount. I would recommend against that one. - The projector on the other hand is great. :)

Search ebay for the seller dwallen2.He sells Epson OEM lamps for ~27$ each. They are legit and work great in my projector.

the yellow/green tint is a known issue with the projection mechanism. mine was fixed under warranty, which was extended by sony for this issue. I don't know if the free fix is still available. if you search your model number a bunch of stuff will come up. good luck!

Good morning,I apologize for the delay as I was in the hospital. As to you question, I have no idea if the bulb you mentioned is the correct one for you Sharp model projector. However, if you have the xr-10x, then I would call Sharp and ask them for yourself to see if it would work. I had fond out that I needed a Sharp-An-XR LP10 light kit to fix the projector. Once I installed the new bulb, it worked perfectly. I was able to find the bulb on Ebay. It ren me about $100. I hope this information is able to help you.Brian~
