What Makes the Projector Screen Go Blue?

What I have learned in the decade of owning and running a home theater, the projector’s screen goes blue mainly due to two reasons. The reasons are;

  • The cables are connected improperly
  • An incorrect source is selected

I’m hundred percent sure, your projector is displaying the blue screen because of any of the two above-mentioned reasons.

You either have improperly connected the cables or selected the incorrect source. Let’s take an example, whenever we get confused, don’t our minds go blank? The same is the case with projector screens.

When the cables are not connected properly or the source is not selected carefully, it turns blue(goes blank not knowing what to do). Besides these two reasons, there is no other action that turns the projector screen blue.
