| I have to agree with others. This is a very nice projector for the money and class of projectors it is in. I too upgraded from a Infocus Screenplay 4805. This makes the PS3 and Blu-Ray look amazing. Worth the grand I paid for it back in Feb. '07. Now for the bad news... |
| Problems |
| ... with a little over 2 months (74 hours on bulb) use, the unit shut off and won't restart. Did all the troubleshooting, and with no luck, had to call tech support. Very pleasing group of people to deal with, for tech support anyways. They had no luck getting it going again either. So, $32 to ship it back. And over a week and it seems that it works for them in the repair facility. They will replace the bulb and said it can be common for it to go out at this point. So I hope to get it back in a week and hopefully will never be an issue again. Just a warning to others with their units. Tech specialist I spoke with, claims 500 - 700 hours is average life and the claim of 2000 - 3000 is extreme luck. I just worry that 74 hours on the OEM bulb and my unit won't start up. How long will I get on the new bulb? My old Infocus was at 640+ hours and still working when this unit took over. I know bulbs are the issue with projectors, but 74 hours is concerning. |
