There are THOUSANDS of DLP Projection TV's and Projectors with the same problem. Dell is not the problem, the problem is the fact that they used Texas Instruments (TI) DLP DMD device - they are failing with the white dot syndrome in DROVES, I have numerous projectors all manufactured within the past 4 years with the same problem, they are Mitsubishi's Viewsonics, NEC, InFocus, Dell, and others - I do not know why TI has not fixed the manufacturing problems. THE DMD's are fine up until about 4 years ago. Older projectors do not have the problem.

Short answer the lamp burns hot and causes the issue, unfortunately there is no cure.

I have had this problem on probably 30 units. It is caused by a faulty DLP chip inside the unit. You can find these chips available online at eBay and other sites for around $90. I have had great success replacing these chips and as long as you pay attention to what you are doing you should have no problem repairing this unit.
