Just wondering if any of know whether the dell projector 5100MP have a filter? Someone told me that I need to clean the filter but I don't remember ever seen or read anything about a filter in the manual back then when I bought it 5 years ago. Thanks.

876228 2010-04-13 12:26:00 The reason why I'm asking about a filter is because I've noticed the bulb's brightness has diminished over the years and this guy asked me whether I've changed the projector's filter.

I'm guessing the diminshed brightness is due to the bulb getting old but wondering if it's also related to a filter, if this projector has one. Unfortunately I don't know where the manual is any now.

Here's a link for the manual
support.dell.com
but it seems to be broken :mad:
Looking at the user guide for the 4100MP (support.dell.com) (I assume would be similar), (Using Your Projector item) the on-screen display has a Management button on the main menu, under which is a Lamp Hours button.
PS the links in this post may or may not work (intermittent), Dell seem to be having trouble at their end.
