This sounds like your light engine is going out. NOT GOOD! It all depends when you bought your set and if its under warranty. I had the same thing with mine bought is 2004, light engine died in 12/08 and was out of warranty. Talked to the rep. said they knew about the problem. They replaced my light engine for free but I had to have a authorized dealer install it . I had to pay for the labor $300, Now I've got another problem with it shutting down and back on.(That's another story.) I would call Hitachi and let them know that you know they have problems with this. Keep trying they may replace your to. To buy one out right is $400 to $500 plus labor, some folks have paid $800 to $1400 , That's a shame. Hope this is helpful. GOOD LUCK!!

have 4 yellow ghost bands going from top to bottom
4 yellow ghost lines on the screen. I replaced the lamp twice and the problem is still there. Any ideas of what it could be?
I have the same issue but have not changed the lamp. Looking at the posts so far it may not be the lamp.
I have a yellow circle in the middle of the screen. I had it diagnosed to be the light engine. Hitachi offers NO help. I'm looking for some kind of class action suit. This problem has existed for several years and these sets should last longer than 2 years. $1000 for repair is disgusting. Anyone else?
I changed my lamp and i have too much yellow and gren and i cant adjust it out....where is the answer one of you sid it would cost 1000.00 to fix but what is it they will fix??????
I have the yellow circle and it is geting larger. It is now covering the majority of my screen. Any thoughts?
Same issue here. Have a rainbow shaped yellow tinted area on the screen. I never noticed it until our son mentioned it...now it seems to be all I see!
