Mitsubishi HC1600 Projector

$740.00 Est. at Amazon

from N/A, www.newegg.com
i've had for 6 months and the bulb burnt out...395$ to replace it thru the company.
from www.amazon.com
the picture is crystal clear with bright, rich colors, the fan is much quieter than my old sharp projector, and the bulb is bright enough in "low" mode to even watch during the day in my living room.
from ThorSPL, www.newegg.com
i had about 2200 hours on the bulb, mostly on econ mode, before i got the replacement warning.
from www.amazon.com
i mean, dang if you buy before the end of january 09 you get $100 and a second bulb.
from p4cm4n, www.newegg.com
the only downside is the 3000 hour limit on the bulb, which after only a week of use i've put a major dent in at ~80 hours.

Samsung SP-P 400 B Pocket Imager DLP Projector

from www.amazon.com
because the bulb is an led, the projector puts out very little heat compared to most others, and it doesn't seem to have the complicated shut off procedure that most projectors have.

we would step to the next price range and thus higher brightness but the routine of setup/tear down has already led to be breakage of one bulb early in a projector's life and so we'll stay in this

from www.amazon.com
even taking into account the bulb replacement costs (about $250 for each ~2000 hour bulb), i still feel it's worth it and cannot stress how much i love this thing.
from www.amazon.com
you could buy one of these brand new every time the bulb burned out (2000 hours) several times in a row and still spend less than what one 1080p projector would set you back.
from www.amazon.com
i've owned this projector for 9 months, 1400hrs on the bulb.
from www.amazon.com
would recommend this projector if pairing to a high gain screen - the bulb brightness, while bright for stock, definitely requires a high gain (+1.3) screen to maximize some of the darker image films
from www.amazon.com
only the 'energy saving' feature sacrifices quality of picture, but what do you expect for less light to the bulb i suppose...
