Hi,that's an issue with the light engine.Basically there's 3 chips blue,green and red they create the image on the tv ,when they start to fail you'll get those spots all over, mostly in the corners.God bless you!

Hello :
I suggest u retrace you the steps u took to replace your lamp make sure no foriegn objects got on the prism where the light shines throung the optics engine, if you remove the lamp compartment througly. If you had a perfect picture prior to replacing the lamp, then retracing your steps you might find something that does not belone. One final note: Did you purchase the right lamp 120watts anything higher than this wattage could damage your optics engine. I suggest never vacuuming the compartment because particals fly around from the suction and could get on the glass of the color wheel asembly.

The EEPROM needs to be reprogrammed. You should contact Panasonic customer care as they may fix this at no charge to you.

If you replaced TV lamp recently then check lamp cover and make sure to seat it properly.
Need further info, let me know.

the model number KP-51WS510 deosnt use a bulb or lamp. and touching the face of the lamp will not cause color problems in the picture. if your tv is an LCD projection then i would suspect the optical engine as the culprit. to check when you turn the tv off do you still see the blue distortion? if so then you have a bad optical engine.......as long as it is an LCD projection.
