| Personal Experience |
| I have had this projector for 13 months. The install wsa very easy but the picture quality is poor. I had noticed there was a fan noise issue after the projector was on for a short time (just assumed it was the due to the lamp generated heat). The picute was "dull" and I even changed the screen so it had a gain of 1.8, which did seem to help with the brightness (my HT room has no windows). After tryinig to hot swap the projector(sent the CC info twice) I gave up and lived with the fan and brightness problem until 3 weeks ago when it would simply shut off after 60 min of use. The projector was sent in for repair, the turn around time was about 7 days, plugged it in....and the same problems were still there. Called tech support who turned out to be extremely rude, to inquire about the repair. They had replaced two circuit boards and cleaned the projector and hot tested it for 11 hours. So now I am ordering a new lamp (this one has less than 300 hours) to see if this fixes the problems. If the lamp fixes the problems I will be very happy, but I wish tech support would have suggested this when I first called them so it could have been replaced under their 90 day lamp warranty. |
