its messed up massive dust on the color wheel thats in the unfiltered air stream ! the first PJ551d died 3 weeks after it arrived . this new one lasted only 6 months 690 lamp hrs before dust on the color wheel made the picture dull and large white circles showed up in blacks . sure the optics are sealed but the color wheel gets coated . avoid this projector its a POS , great HD picture when its working not dependable Viewsonic sent a reman projector after i was promised new AVIOD VIEWSONIC

its in HD using a home made breakout cable made from an old DIN15 computer monitor cable . just cut it open and attach RCA jacks to the thick RGB lines, the sheilding is common to all three snip the little wires . you have a free break out cable . its the res of the cannon a550 still camera video that makes it look bad . its not a panasonic ax200 but the PJ551d is a great low cost projector , its used in the kids Cave and cost me $559 with a free extra lamp . a year ago ,very bright

Sorry about your luck friend... I've had this projector for a year now and have had no problems with it, knock on wood.

I've got the same projector... How did you hook it up? It looks like you're using the composite connections... Get a component to VGA adapter cable to get an HD signal... That's what I did, there's no comparison.
