| If it wasn't for the bulbs it is the perfect projector for the price. Have owned since April of 2003, ceiling mounted, 80 inch wide screen, use for DVDs, TV & X box. The picture is great and we can't live without it now. Even with the problems we have had it is the best bang for your buck that I could find after doing alot of research. Found this site while doing the research to see if I could find one that would be better in today's market. |

The second bulb just exploded the other day,it was at about the 1100 hour mark. With 3 teenagers and 2 adults using it,this was about 9 months of viewing. The first bulb went at 1080 hours and cost $600 (cdn) to replace. We have followed all of the tips on extending the life of your bulb but the local Sanyo experts tell me that the bulbs go between 1000 and 1500 hours,not the 2000 you are led to believe. The fan started making noise about a month ago but air flow seemed good and we have not gotten any alarms. We also have had a small blue dot in the one corner of the screen since we got it, we don't notice it when watching, Sanyo service said that 1 pixel failing out of 1.6 million is within spec
