Dark bar about quarter way down on sceeen. Appears after set is on for about ten minutes and then remains. Picture and sound are perfect. turn set off and bar is visible until lamp shuts down.
If it had a fixed image of some sort that might also explain it---if you reopen a new question post the brand and model number.
SOURCE: Left side of television just started having a shadowing problem?
I have the same problem and was told by a technician that I need to replace the light engine. Probably around $ 700.00.
SOURCE: A Dark Bar at the top of the screen that looks pink against white
the light engine is defective if you have black bars that look pink.
SOURCE: I have a hitachi 55vs69 projection television.
Hi,
First step is to unplug the 120 vac power for a few minutes to clear any corrupted data that may be present in the controller circuits.
If a "power" reset doesn't help and the lamp or bulb is installed correctly, you most likely have a failed replacement bulb. The symptoms are all standard indications of a failed bulb.
Reduced lamp life can be caused by:
Almost all Hitachi 55vs69 "No Picture" failures are related to the bulb.
Many of our service events are with customers that purchased El Cheapo bulbs from "shopping cart" websites or picked up a bulb from a small "local" TV shop. Many small shops stock of 3 or 4 bulbs and try to substitute or cross reference to fit more than 200 models of TVs from 7 different manufacturers. If a premature bulb failure occurs, they have the opportunity to sell you some expensive service.

Turned tv on next day and bar is gone. Left on for 10 hours and it has not returned. Can only think it has something to do with heat and/or humidity or a combination. will wait and see.
