Help! Epson 8350 Bulb Replacement

[CRMA]

Hey Guys,
I recently had my lamp go out on my Epson 8350. It had 1333 hrs on it when it was rated up to 4000hrs. I keep it in Eco mode and have the High Altitude setting on since I am in Colorado.
I know there are quite a few knock offs on the replacements so I did my homework and found this:

It contains the same OEM bulb and the housing is the same, but it is 100.00 less than the Epson website.

After the new install and an air filter change everything is fine, except one faint line that runs across the center of the screen. It is barely visible but if you look closely it is there. Anyone experience this? Is it the bulb? Any ideas? It wasn't there before so I am not sure what happened.


The projector is 3.5 years old too. Thanks for the time and help in advance.
