| Personal Experience |
| I bought this projector as a reman unit about 1 1/2 years ago. I bought the 340 instead of the 340b because of the lack of the HTQ software and the DVI port not on the 340b model. The picture quality has been great, colors are very brilliant and the brightness is good. The dirty light or halo is apparent but can be eliminated by placing a black boarder around the screen. The contrast due to the dirty light is a little lacking compared to new models and is noticeable when watching digitally filmed DVD's but for the generation of projector it is very good. In my opinion the color wheel rainbow effect is not to bad. I can see the rainbow in very limited fast moving white lines, but all in all very acceptible, again for the generation of projector. All in all I would recomend this projector as a reman projector over the 800-1000 dollar new models if it is priced equal or less. |

| Problems |
| Bulb problems. This project has gone through two bulbs in the last 1 1/2 years. The first one in about 200 hours. The second one in just over 1000 hours. I believe the key to the longer life is running the projector on stand-by (cool down) mode for at least 5 minutes before shutting it down. I have been doing this for a year now and have now notice that Infocus is now recommending this. Doing this, the last bulb lasted over 1000 hours without filter cleaning (its very difficult for me to unmount the projector) |
