Enhanced Projector Color Wheel for Optoma HD141X, HD230X, HD180, and GT1080 - Compatible with Smart UF55, UF55W, UF65, UF65W Review

Installation was easy - there are a number of helpful instructions; YouTube video - and my projector is quiet again and produces great colors (no more black and white flickering). can you do that!

Installation is a little tricky, but if you have the patience it's relatively easy to do it yourself. If you search YouTube you will find several videos where guys show how to do it.

After replacing the color wheel with this one, everything worked right away. To be honest it was a pretty easy process and it also gave me the option to take a can of air and spray it. I highly recommend this if changing the lamp didn't work for you. Many Optoma projectors share the same design, so this steering wheel is…

My GT1080 won't start after driving. Changing the lamp didn't help. But after watching YouTube, the color wheel has to run first before the lamp tries to turn on. But the color wheel didn't spin. Replacing the color wheel worked! It turns on and works. But the bad news is that he's making a whimpering sound like he's gone. I don't want to send it back either, as I have to pick it up again to send it back. Great news, my projector is working normally again. The bad news is that this color wheel…
