How to fix projector flicker and image problems. Home theater

- home cinema, dolby atmos, dts x, I was able to fix my projector flicker problem by simply changing the hz in my Oppo uhh player from 60hz to 50hz.
Originally I changed power cables, power outlets, hdmi cables and power conditioners. Which all helped, some better than others but none of those were an actual solution until I changed the settings in my player.
If your player doesn’t have a setting an option to change the hz then you may need to adjust it in the projector itself.
Hope this may help you. Thanks for watching

Flickering/jumping is usually caused when the power cable is too close to the hdmi cable, or when the power is on the same circuit as something like a fridge freezer - try fitting ferrites to both
Good points and tips. Thanks for watching
Hi, I recently brought a projector off of Amazon, and I don’t know anything about projectors. When it arrived I was pretty satisfied quality was good and everything, the next day it starts flickering out of nowhere…and I’m clueless about what should I do to fix it?
Projectors can be fussy. That kind of flickering can be a few things. Hdmi cable or port, the bulb could be bad especially if it’s an led bulb. The good news there is those are fairly low inexpensive. Or the source of what you use could not be that compatible or just need to be adjusted But mostly it comes down to the quality of the projector. I’d say most no name brands under $500 are pretty low quality. Not sure which one you have but I’d check those things first. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
I got a RCA projector not super cheap but not super good it was like 400 bucks I think I didn't pay that but that's the retail anyways I used it for about 3 hours now it was brand new in the box I still have the plastic on the power bar and it's already screwing up when I power it on the white RCA screen comes on no problem but when I hit the source button nothing happens it won't go to the source main screen tried a bunch of different HDMI cables that work still says no signal and the source button doesn't do nothing but I noticed if I go to the menu which works some of the letters and numbers are distorted while the others are still perfectly clear almost looks like the screen is cracked or broken only in a few spots but I looked inside and all of the filters and everything are fine no cracks but I didn't open up all the way to the light so that's what I'm going to do next. all the other buttons work but no source screen which means I can't watch anything and I only watched it for a total of probably 3 hours didn't know RCA was that garbage . ...any idea what this could be ? maybe the bulb I'm going to open it up and check it out. Got no warranty on this one bought it off a friend .... model is RPJ-275. Thank you for your time if you can reply!
So I just found out why it works...dlp projector wheels spin at exactly 1/50 of a second to get there colors. I would like to know however how those guys at the exhibitions record the projector displays without much artifacting?
Ah good research. Yes I’d like to know that too 🤔
thanks my projectors problem solved
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the help
Anytime!
I'm curious like my cats. I have a Canon EOS750D and I know where your going with this as the camera can also see IR the remote control inferred IR. It can see the flicker on the tv or projector or other sources I guess?
I can see flicker on my tv not tried the projector yet. But I can see flicker on the tv using presently techwood 49" LED UHD 4k.
If I switch the camera from manual mode to another mode AV I don't see any common flicker maybe I should check the camera settings. But I do see where your going with this.
Andy Summers if you can match the speed of the camera and tv or projector the flicker should go away or at least slow way down
Nothing helps if the led driver (leds power source) gives that. My DLP has a battery and even if there is no ac power source, hdmi etc connected it gives that stroboscopic effect (like some LCD screens have) in menu screen.
Correct 👍. Thanks for watching
I have a Sony 3LCD and I have a console that I play on my projector (yes I know it's weird) I have a red color outline on where my apps are and it's just there are these little lines around the red area that look like they been circled around and round by a tron mortycle. And I dont know what to
do
General Sanders I’d be happy to help you solve this problem. I know what it’s like to has an issue you don’t like. What exact model projector do you have? Are you referring to an image burn in, meaning those circles show up on the screen when your apps are not there or are they only there when the apps are?
I have a vankyo leisure 495W. my picture clarity is decreasing now. I also notice horizontal lines near the bottom of the picture...hardly noticeable but I believe is getting worse...any ideas?
Could be the bulb is dying, depending on how many hours of use. I think that is a DLP projector, those use something like a halogen bulb instead of a projector lamp. The dlp bulb can be very cheap and can fail quicklyThe good news is they’re fairly inexpensive to replace. Budget projectors can have a variety of issues like not getting enough ventilation, fan motor issues or even something as simple as needing to change the hdmi cable. I’d start there or even change the power cable if you haven’t yet. Then Change the projector’s placement, see if that helps. If the problem is still there I’m betting it’s your bulb. Hope that helps.

@@Audiolympian thank you! Doing exactly that and give a good dusting. I keep the filter pretty clean already. I'll try the codage
@@michaelreed9805 hope it works out for you.
@@Audiolympian I'll dial it in I'm sure....thanks. probably have this thing disassembled into 1000 pieces before its over..lol
@@michaelreed9805 haha. That’s how we lean. I’ve taken a part 3 projectors in an attempt to fix. Good luck
how to fix everywhere lines of different colours
My projector turns off for 2 seconds . The light is dark and then turns on again. It’s an Epson .
So annoying when watching anything cus you don’t know when it’s gonna blink.
That would be annoying. That could be a few things I’ll list for ya some are obvious and you may already know
1. Need a new bulb
2. Need new hdmi cable
3. Update firmware on receiver if your running it through one
4. Need to Clean dust out of your projector
5. Need new fan or color wheel
6. Lastly may need a different power cable or plug in a different outlet
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
I have the issue I noticed with my epson 6030 (white screen mostly, not 100% regular rate of flicker) but only on ECO (lamp low).
It seems that as the bulb age they can have issue with the arc that it produces. The anoids apparently can seperate just a bit that the lower voltage and current causes it to flicker. Switching to normal or high lamp output solves the issues. I have over 2k hours on my bulb and even though I have a brand new bulb but my old bulb still looks crazy bright and great colors so I have not switched yet.
It looks like 2 different causes for sure, what you did is what I though was going on and hours spent trying to solve it.. I found out about the bulb flicker issue that is common on many projectors in low power as the bulb ages.
Chris J thanks for the comment and watching.
I have the same issue in Eco mode on Epson. Problem is that it’s a brand new projector with maybe 20 hours of use.
@@smileychess that sucks. Is it a factory buld?. Then I wonder of the drive system is working right.(capacitor / rectifiers / ballasts etc) sending out consistent voltage.
Does the problem go away on high or normal output level?. The only real downside are a bit faster bulb burn out (really its small when you look at the cost over its life), and the fan runs in high which is the biggest downfall for me.
@@chrisj9008 - yeah it's only in Eco mode. I thought the fan would be too loud in Normal or High, but after using it for a few days, I haven't even noticed the fan. Oh well, it works.
@@smileychess I had the exact same issue on a brand new HC3800 (TW7100) .. 20 hours in and flicker. Got a replacement bulb from Epson support. Worked fine until yesterday, when the replacement also started to flicker (190 hours usage)... Not good. ECO-mode is the reason I chose this pj.
Hi my projector doesn’t come with a remote or settings but it’s been flashing black
Most projectors come with menu control buttons on them. The flashing could be a few things
1. Your cable - hdmi or which ever cord you using
2. Bad or weak bulb. Flashing usually occurs when the bulb life is reaching its end
3. Bad fan, so it’s overheating
4. Source. Perhaps a faulty DVD player or whatever you have connected to it.
Hope that helps.
Start with changing the cables first. That would be the easiest thing to do if you have extra ones.
My projector turns on n after like 10seconds it starts blinking red on temperature and on the power off button. I bought a new projector lamp but it still doesn't want to work I don't get it
jae folk Depending on the projector you have and it’s age could be a few things a bad color wheel, bad fan motor, even a bad new lamp. The good news is those are fairly easy fixes.
My projecter fell from my ceiling and ever since then the screen turns black for a few minutes and then in returns
Wow sorry to hear that. That could be a number of things, loose hdmi port, lens issue, fan problem. The best thing to try is maybe call and see what manufacturers warranty is. There might be something for parts depending on how old it is.

Didn't go as deep as the light but I'm gonna do that next.... All the others are still perfectly clear all the other buttons work but no source screen which means I can't watch anything and I only watched it for a total of probably 3 hours ... I did drop the box carrying it home but it had all the foam inside and it wasn't a hard impact at all ....only thing I could think of but if that was the case why would it work great for a hour a day I watched it , then crap out randomly the 4th time ?didn't know RCA was that garbage any idea what this could be? maybe the bulb I'm going to open it up and check it out .. got no warranty on this one bought it off a friend model is RCA RPJ-275.
Thank you in advance if you have time to reply!!!
Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience with your projector. A couple of things here. I don’t think it’s the bulb, it could be but usually when the bulb goes out you won’t have any picture or activity but it could be. Im thinking in traveling with it perhaps the color wheel got out of alignment or the wheel motor went out so it’s not spinning or your input board went out both of those issues are common problems among budget projectors. You could get replacement parts but it would probably be better to get another projector. Those parts could cost up to $200. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@Audiolympian yeah it makes sense because the light does come on like I said and I can go to every screen except for the source screen whereabouts is the color wheel motor or what does it look like once I have it open I might as well check it out if it's not going to work it's worth a shot right usually I just UA-cam videos on troubleshooting the pcbs but there's not much for projectors on here rather than testing the voltages which are all fine I'm not sure what else to test with the meter only visible signs of any damage at all which isn't really damaged cable that goes from the lid to the board for the buttons is squished but like I said the buttons work fine so I don't know but maybe I'll look into that wheel motor thing you're talking about thanks again for the quick reply I'm going to like and subscribe for future videos... Side note I was pretty impressed with the picture on this projector for the 3 hours I watched the IPTV on it was really good color and everything super clear so I could just imagine what $1,000 or more projector would look like I seen a Sony projector for like $40,000 which is insane but man that would be sweet
@@trevorjames5493 I agree that Sony projector would be noice! The color wheel (which looks like a small fan)can be a couple of places sometimes out in the open near the bulb or they can come as a whole unit in its own housing with the wheel and motor and a wire harness connects to it. They are a bit fragile so messing with them can make matters worse (speaking from experience) however, that’s how we learn stuff. Can’t make an omelette… ya know. Hope that helps. Good luck and enjoy the journey.
Hii My projector is slower mean it's lagging So I can't watch match properly how to fix it?
That could be a few issues. Do you mean the sound? So dialogue doesn’t match with the picture? The words come before the image? If it’s that you need to adjust the sound delay. Also it depends if your using a receiver for sound the adjustment could be needed there too. Hope that helps.
@@Audiolympian Nop sound's all good it's when I connect my project with my laptop it fine in the laptop but the video is lagging in the projecter, like it's slower Fps I dnt knw
@@Raiman00 oh gotcha. It’s probably your laptop. Maybe it’s not fast enough, could be lacking memory or HD space could even be you hdmi cable or whatever kind you use dvi or something. Perhaps your cable isn’t not transferring enough data (gigabytes) I’ve had that issue before. It turn out it was my laptop. Now up to date enough for my projector. Hope that helps
@@Audiolympian Yeah that's wat I thought too it's apretty old windows laptop, I tried with my macbook and it's not perfect but better as you said it's probably my laptop anyways thankyou.
What's the frame rate of your camera in the recording?
Donovan Capron it was at 60
@@Audiolympian interesting, I was thinking that at 60hz because of 60fps would stop flickering than a mismatch
This is probably a helpful video but I can't watch it, listen to you and that horrible music at the same time.
Haha. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks for trying. That was an older video, I hope I have gotten better since then. Thanks for stopping by my channel
