Are their any other symptoms of an aging DLP lamp other than reduced
brightness and possibly colour temperature?

One comment about this repair, if this is the one...

I'm finding it hard to believe it's a catch-all solution for that halo
problem.

The reason I say that is, the halo problem I had just wasn't there all the
time. Never within the first hour or so of use and some nights it didn't
seem to be present at all, like it just went away. Even the wife remarked
maybe the set fixed itself.

It's just that although I can see some kind of film forming on the lens (for
whatever reason it forms) that can cause the problem, seems like it would
always be there, maybe to different degrees depending on the iris action,
but still be there.

Weird.
