NEC MT1020 image ghosting

Hello,

I have been using the NEC MT1020 for a while now.
After about a thousand hours of use the image begins to develop a ghost image. This is most evident to the left of any hard outlines.
I would like to know if there is anything I can do to rectify the situation.
I have tried a new lamp, making adjustments to all the image controls and a number of different sources.
I'd really appreciate any guidance.

Cheers.

Hi All
if you still have a 1020 the ghost is poss due to dirt and is caused by reflections in the prism so dont bin it

Re: NEC MT1020 image ghosting

Hi there!
Good to read you guys, I'm not alone on the projector planet!
I have the same ghost image problem, but I'd need a little tutorial to open the belly of my dear MT1020!
- I can't find the right screws to lift up the cover
- and then how can I dust off the prism and s.o ...
If you have a clue, thanks for your help
