Anyone recognize this problem?

I've just started having a problem with my Optoma HD80 projector. Has anyone ever seen this before? The projector is under warranty but it still costs me about $100 to ship it off to California and I've already had to do it once for a different issue.

Here are 4 pics. (See the lines/pixels along contrasting edges?)





Although the projector's title screen and test pattern do not do this, I've narrowed it down to the projector. I get this from all my components, TiVo, BLu-Ray, X-Box, etc, and I by passed the reciever and still got it. Tried a different HDMI cable and still got it. I think the only thing I haven't tried is using a different power cord.

Thanks!
Coincedentally, I just unplugged the projector to try a different outlet. When I turned everything back on, the problem was gone! Thought it may have been the outlet or interference from another AC cord but apparently I just stumbled onto the "reboot" solution.
