As per title I have started to see sets of curvy white lines on my Marquee. Maybe 10 -20 lines that go from top to bottom of screen and slanted; sometimes sideways v's During the day, with light coming through gaps in the drapes can't see them - and can't see them in normal or bright scenes.

I would recount my video chain but the truth is the lines remain (but change orientation to more vertical) when the power is removed from the source and Moome ext-HD box but the lines remain if the projector is still powered on without a source.

Any ideas? PJ still looks good but having those lines in very dark scenes ruins the advantage of the blacks/dark scenes on the pJ

Are you able to capture it on film?

I tried about 6 pictures and three videos with my digital camera and I can't see anything in the photos except a bare outline of the screen - so they are faint lines.

For example couldn't notice anything watching Cold Case tonight - but when watching a movie where everything fades to black and its at night so there is no light coming through the crack in the drapes I can see the lines (they do move).

The lines are sort of like retrace lines on a CRT but have the opposite orientation.

Not a big deal since they are hard to see - was just wondering if there was a known problem and easy fix

Did you clean all the chips on the CLM and DPB or at least press down on them to make a cleaner contact? Usually strange lines on the tubes is something with U7 on the DPB.
