Yellow haze I have yellow haze in the center of my Zenith 44". The picture to the right and left is clear and has great color.

it may need TCON board

The yellow haze is the result of the blue polarizer burnt-in, you will find it sitting in front of the dlp chip.

YOUR LIGHT ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED ,MAJOR JOB !!

The yellow spot is due to the BLUE LCD and/or lens assy cracked, reason, to much HEAT! The blue is the darkest color and hold the most heat, so it goes first, always! In some cases it’s only the lens, however most of the time LCD is damage to. Parts are available, however install and alignment is timely. Quick fix is the complete light engine, which for model# E44W46LCD is part# 3141VSN916C, which customer cost is $1,449.27, wholesale for about $1,065.21. Rebuilt, if you can find it around 850.00 to 950.00. However the rebuilt does not always look as good as factory. My advice, TRASH set. This part will fail again in about 3 to 4 years, unless you watch a lot of white video. Remember, on a black or dark picture, all three LCD are blocking 100% of the light, causing extreme heat within the light engine. It’s a bad design.

If your model number is E44W46LCD Rear Projection , yes this will should fix your problem and you can do it yourself. Just be careful with the LCD cube that is beside you color filters, it is very fragile and hard to get.

Hi...the yellow haze is probably the blue filter is burnt and needs replaced. This is very common in Zeniths. There are 3 color filters in the Zeniths blue (pinkish in color), green (grayish in color) and the red (it is red). The #1 problem in this TV is the blue filter is burnt and it is an easy fix. It could also be the LCD cube is bad. I would try the blue filter replacement first. It will probably do the trick.

The blue filter is burnt out. A very common problem in Zenith DLPs. There are 3 color filters, 1 blue (a pinkish color), 1 green (a grayish brown) and 1 red (it is red) they give you your colors for you picture. This is a simple fix.

sounds like you have a bad optical block, very costly but the manufacture of these is LG and they have a recall program on certain problems is this model you may want to give them a call and see if yours might be covered.

Typically caused by a defective light engine. Part is over $1000 last time I checked on it. Could also be caused by a bad "digital board". I've seen this symptom more than once on this set.
