Vertical lines thru projector

[Torquative]

howdy all

just wondering if anyone knows what green vertical lines through the image of a projected video is?

I brought a bargain projector off ebay with this problem, got it home, and startin to play with it. The machine is 8 years old but the lamp has only done 463 hours out of a 2000 hour life span.

Im thinking it might be an issue with the lamp especially for the age of it, but I thought I'd see if anyone has experienced this and has some suggestions? It was used as a backup projector for a major Uni in sydney thus the low hours for its age, the IT department had a clean out and I found myself with it!

Hmm are the lines on at all times or during certain times.

I know my projector has lines when cartoons move quickly eg.Facial/mouth movements etc.

But thats to be expected im sure.

Maybe if it was a bargin possibly use some money and get someone to check it out?
