Projector Color Wheel for HD141X HD180 HD25 HD26 HD230X GT1080 Smart UF55 UF65

I’ve had my projector for 9 years now. I thought it was having a bulb issue as I’ve already replaced it twice over the years. However after replacing the bulb a third time I noticed the colors were way off. Everything had a green or red tint to it. Plus the picture was still very dim. After doing a little research I found this product and figured it was worth a try to avoid having to replace the entire unit. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. My projector works like new again. The picture is clearer and brighter than ever. I’m very happy I was able to save the $1,000+ it would have cost me to buy a new projector. If you have a dim picture or notice the colors seem to be off I definitely recommend replacing this part before giving up and buying a new projector altogether.

My projector used roar to the point where we could hear it, even though it was mounted from up above. A "tin-like buzzing" sound used to emanate from it when we would turn it on and watch movies. The picture frequently had a pinkish tint to it.We initially replaced the lamp before realizing it was the color wheel. I held off on buying this for a year or two thinking it "wasn't that bad." After replacing the color wheel we noticed the colors on our projector (Optoma HD26) were way better. The pinkish hue/tint was gone and we could see differences in darker scenes (before the image looked washed out unless viewing in a completely dark room). The buzzing noise is also now gone from the projector!We couldn't be happier with how well this worked as a replacement for our Optoma. I can't speak to durability as we just installed it today, but I will try to update it after some use.

Get it! It works. I've replaced my color wheel in my projector twice now (Had this Optoma 1080 for like 9 years) Have fun opening your projeector and feeling like a true technical saveant. Make sure your significant other watches you to ensure ultimate peak attraction as they think you're a genius.

Fixed the flashing red and blue color after the projector ran for a while. Be a little handy and have some small magnetic Phillips screw drivers, as you’ll need the magnet to get the screws in and out in the tight area. Watch a YouTube video of your project model of this fix-helped me! Good luck!

YES! This WILL work with the Optoma HD142x projector. Before I purchased this, I could not get a clear yes or no. My lamp was going out after nearly 2 years of use. Shortly after the lamp was replaced, the projector began to act up again as if the bulb was out. The projector also had the lamp indicator on for a bad bulb. I almost purchased another bulb but after further troubleshooting turns out color wheels are prone to fail.This wheel was a bit dirty when I received it. I did NOT clean this to avoid damaging the glass or the unit and it doesn't appear to affect the quality. The wheel spins freely as it should and my projector is working good the day I bought it. If you're changing your bulb, consider replacing the wheel at the same time. This was a good aftermarket option.

I bought this color wheel for my several years old Optoma projetor. The red colors were really off because the index stripe on my original color wheel had partly fallen off, throwing off the rotation speed of the wheel. I followed YouTube instructions, slightly broke parts of my crumbling projector housing, but managed to install the new color wheel correctly enough and BOOM: the projector colors look amazing again. I'm really happy with my purchase!

This worked fine at first. Bought one year ago. About 4 months ago it started making sounds but not horrible but slowly continued to get worse until the colors were flashing and freezing pictures. Started to sound like a tin can was being ripped apart. Took projector apart and the whelk would only spin slowly when I physically spun it myself. They are supposed to spin freely and fast and when they don’t is when all the problems start. Sprayed some electronic cleaner on bearings and around spinning cylinder. It still didn’t spin fast when I tried it. Put it back in and for now it’s much better but I know it’s only time before it fails totally since I know it’s not spinning fast and freely! So 8 months for a color wheel to last is obscene! They have some for 80.00 and up on Amazon also. I guess it’s the old saying THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR that is the main issue here

Been using for about 2 months now and it’s been amazing. Had an issue where the projector made all sorts of noises and never turned on. Thought it was the bulb. Turned out the indicator marker that’s on the color wheel had somehow come off and the projector couldn’t tell if the color wheel was spinning or not. In short this new color wheel was a really quick plug and play option and the projector has never been better. Couldn’t be happier with the color reproduction from the wheel. Thank you.!

In Australia, Optoma will not supply replacement parts to repair shops for projectors sold otherwise than through its authorised dealers, as I found out after travelling about 45 minutes back and forth to a repair shop. I would never buy another Optoma product again for this reason alone. I have further reasons never to buy an Optoma product set out below.This colour-wheel, however, was a perfect fit and works perfectly. The colours are perfect.Would I recommend replacing it yourself?1. It was moderately irritating and took about an hour for someone who had no idea what he was doing. I think it should be do-able for people with basic life competence. You will need a small magnetic philips head screwdriver and a hex head screwdriver of a small-ish size I cannot recall. It would help to have one of those plastic tools they use at phone repair places to prise things apart. Don't touch this thing or the lamp directly with your oil-covered fingers. BUT...2. If this part has FAILED (rather than colours fading, etc) and is making a racket or has jammed, then probably what you'll find when you open up your Optoma--as I did--was that Optoma has cheaped out on the design of their projectors. You will find a SINGLE 60mm fan. The kind you used to see on cheap computer cases and you can buy for $1. You will see that this single fan is totally inadequate to cool the unit. You will find that the plastic housing has been cooked through and become brittle. If the colour-wheel has been jamming or making a racket you will likely find that one or more bolts to the colour-wheel housing have pulled through the now-brittle threads on the case. You will not easily repair that, and can expect your nice new colour wheel to suffer the same fate as the old one unless you do. I will be ripping it open again to try supergluing it in place. Obviously once that is done, the colour wheel will not be able to be replaced again.Do I recommend this colour wheel as a colour wheel? Absolutely. Good quality, works well!But you might consider whether it's worth the time and trouble of doing this repair rather than buying a better quality projector.
