another thing, the upper middle of my screen seems to be lighter than the rest and im almost certain its the lcd... exactly how hot can lcds get and do they show any signs of being too hot?
nanoman, i bet 7 meters would still work even though that is fairly lengthy
im using a 6 foot vga extension and i cant tell any difference |
Ah, I hoped you could see. This excerpt is from a 3M 9100 brochure:

"The cool stage on the Model 9100 keeps transparency film from curling and prevents harm to LCD projection panels."
I wondered if you could see the cool stage easily.
Is the brightest part the centre of the OHP? It may be the bulb gives a little more light to the centre. Alternatively...
The lower part of your screen may be getting hot. Mine darkens as it gets hot until no light can pass. A 120mm cooling fan @ 7V blows air under and over the LCD from the side, its very effective and quiet. 5V may work fine for you.
I did some temperature measurements with a dead panel sat directly on the OHP glass. It reached 50C but the LCD wasnt operating (darker picture absorbs more heat and the LCDs own heat generation counts too). I read some tech specs a while back and (memory withholding) the max operating temp was around 55C for the panel they had.
Try allowing a little air to flow under the LCD by raising it slightly, it may be enough to stop browning. I do recommend a flow of air though for the sake of a longer life panel.
