Components affected: LCW, liquid crystal window, lamp, barrier window, alignment, bulb, & temperature.

High opacity can come from any of the following:

  2. misalignment
  3. failing bulb/lamp or lamp power supply
  4. failing LCWs or LCW power supply
  5. dust on barrier window and/or corner cube
