[QUOTE=sheridan|Aug 6, 2009 5:27:28 PM] The lamp will never cause any color problems, only overall reduced brightness /contrast. It would help if we saw an image, but it sounds like you have either a burned polarizer or an LCD panel going bad. A burned polarizer would be fairly easy to replace IF it were available. I don't see listing for those parts from my supplier. An LCD panel going bad is going to be too expensive a repair to consider. The entire optical block would have to be replaced, and for that cost, you can buy a new projector. [/QUOTE] Hey do you know where i can buy replacement polarizes besides from the manufacture. I contacted them and they said it would be around $100 to buy a new one. Ne place where i can get it for cheaper? I have a sony vpl-px15.

I have a Sony VPL-PX15 bought used. It has been running great but it did not come with a remote control. Now, Sony seems to think I should shell out over $100 for one of their replacement remote controls, but I am thinking why spend that kind of money only to get a SIXTH remote control? Why not get a learning all-in-one remote (see here for one in particular: http://www.smarthome.com/8024.html ) that can also control my Sony VPL-PX15? But here is the question: which of the millions of all-in-one remotes will work with it? Has anyone had any luck programming an all-in-one remote for use on the PX15? Thanks in advance....
