I've had this DLP for about 3-4 years. Recently I've noticed particularly on whites or bright colors that instead of say a pure white image the white will be speckled with various other colors mixed in, mostly pinks. Also, I had the great fortune of seeing a couple of spiders on the screen, which ended up living inside of the TV itself. I've managed to catch and remove one of them, but the other remains. My best guess from looking inside is that there appears to be a light haze on both the projector lens and the rear mirror, and possibly some on the back of the display screen, although it's gray-ish in color so it's not as obvious.
Is it possible the haze could be causing this? There were also a couple of strands of spider web inside, although that has already been removed. My bulb is likely due for replacement soon as well, although I couldn't seem to find anything pointing to a fading bulb causing the discoloration on on whites/light bright colors. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
