Recently had a kind of disturbing thing happen with my Sony VPW 50. While watching a movie streaming on VUDU @ 1080p, we saw some what appeared to be white horizontal streaks running randomly across the picture and some thing I could describe as "sparkles" in the darker scenes. (I should note, you had to stand next to the screen to seem the sparkles, they were not visible from our normal seating area.. about 12' from the screen)
I checked all of the HDMI connections, and stopped the VUDU streaming and switched to a Blue Ray disc. The streaking ended, but the "sparkles" were still visible.
For what its worth, I have an Outlaw model 990 preamp, an LG BluRay Player & am using Monoprice HDMI cables. The LG has an ethernet connection to the router. The Sony projector bulb is relatively new maybe 150 to 250 hours on it.
Some thoughts I had are is that this could be due to:
Loose connections,
Bad Cables (do cables just go "bad" after a while?)
A failing projector (I hope not !)
A failing preamp (maybe an excuse to get a new one?)
or
Low Line Voltage?
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
