Sounds like the blue polarizer filter has been overheated due to old age. May need replacing.

Why is my projector showing everything in yellow

If it's an LCD projector, and the menus are yellow too, then one of the UV filters has failed. It's usually the blue one which is why the picture is yellow.

At this point the projector is toast. The cost of replacing the UV filter and the damaged blue panel will be more than the projector is worth.

Have a mitsubishi XL6600u projector .....screen is yellow and have replaced bulb still yellow

Could be one of two problems. How old is the machine? If one of your LCD filters inside the machine has burned up it will show yellow. Common on SL4U. It starts with a yellow circle. If not that then most likely a bad VGA cable. If you have it hooked up that way.

My epson projector shows a non growing yellow tinge in the centre of the image. The projector is about 4 years old. EMP-TW700. I am a fairly heavy user.

Hi,
From my experience, the projector bulb has most likely received a blemish of some kind from something such as accumulated dust on the front, to a fingerprint from where it has been handled by someone replacing it.
This yellow tinge then occurs when the blemish is burned onto the surface of the bulb.
In my opinion, unfortunately, you may need to get a new bulb.
Hope this helps!

Bright yellow

I can't imagine a setting that would cause this - It sound more like some sort of fault with the projector's blue LCD panel. (The image is created from a mix of red, green and blue light. If you loose the blue, everything will look yellow.)

Is it capable of showing any shades of blue?

Using any graphics or photo-editing software, create a solid blue image (R=0, G=0, B=255 in your colour settings) and if possible, display this full-screen. Is there any output from the projector at all when you do?

If not, it sounds like it need a professional repair.
