The image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect. What should I do?

• If the projected image is too dark or light, or the colors are incorrect, try the following solutions:

  • Try selecting a color mode that best fits the image and environment.
  • Check your video source settings.
  • Adjust the available settings on the Image menu for the current input source, such as Brightness, Contrast, Tint, and/or Color Saturation.
  • Make sure you selected the correct Video Range setting on the Signal menu, if available for your image source.

    Note: For screen sizes above 300″, a high-gain screen and a light-controlled environment may be required.

  • Make sure all the cables are securely connected to the projector and your video device. If you connected long cables, try connecting shorter cables.
  • Position the projector close enough to the screen.
  • If the image has been progressively darkening, you may need to replace the projector lamp soon.
