Hello Druka.
There is a high possibility that it could be the color wheel, how ever there is also another possibility that it might be the digital or analog board. Try to connect a external device (a DVD for example) that uses a analog signal cable (component cable, s-video, coaxial, etc). Now try another external device that uses a digital signal cable (HDMI or VGA cable). If you get the same distortion in the picture on one of the external devices and no problem on the other then you have a defective board. if on both devices the picture is bad, then try replacing your color wheel.
Good luck.
