I recently had to buy a new bulb for my Mitsubishi DLP and had debated for a moment buying a non OEM lamp for a small fraction of the price it would cost me to buy one from Toshiba. However after reading around a bit TONS of people complained of them creating these white spots that would not go away. So I decided to buy another OEM from Toshiba and have had zero problems.
So if you by chance bought a cheap replacement lamp at some point that might be your issue.

From what I'm reading, this has nothing to do with the lamp. It has something to do with the millions of tiny mirrors and some of them are stuck, whatever the fuck that means. The only way to fix it is to buy some part that cost about $600 and when you send the broken one back, they will rebate you $200 so it's about $400 total and you have to do all the work, which takes a few hours from what I understand. Just not sure at this point if it's worth the time, effort & money to fix at this point. But thanks for posting your experience!!!
