Hi,

I've had ours since 2004. Screen door effect was never an issue for me, I never noticed it. Then around mid-2008 the bulb seemed to be fading and I started noticing the screen door effect. I replaced the bulb and I still see the screen door effect.

Does this condition worsen with the age of the projector? Or does it indicate that there is something that needs to be tweaked in the settings?

I also lost our remote (have a logitech that I can access most of the settings menu) so if anyone out there has one let me know. I wasn't able to change the new bulb "hour setting". Followed directions several times but did not change.

Thanks,
Bob

Interesting. The AE700 has Panasonic's Smooth Screen Technology to reduce SDE. If you haven't noticed it until now I'm wondering if there's an internal failure that might cause this.
