the gm20 approach would work if you had one in front of each diode. this is not very practical. especially in the micro projectors that are cropping up. maybe you should use an ssr on the diode drive line.

But I have also noticed it in the middle of shows too when I have a green pattern scanning and the red and blue are supposed to be blanked. The Red and Blue will emit enough light that I can see the small point in the center of the screen. I run my projector with full lights on in my basement while watching TV. My 400mW projector is bright enough that I don't need to turn off any lights, but I can still see the diode emitting when they are technically supposed to be off. Maybe I am doing things wrong as well.
Adam would the GM-20 correct this type of situation? Or would it only be useful when all three diodes are supposed to be off. I guess what I am asking is how does the GM-20 allow a pattern of one color while diverting the other two colors. Not possible right?
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
