Thanks for the tip. I highly recommend anybody who is about to buy to use chrome and use the "cowboom watcher" plugin as you can pick 0 operating hours and condition 7...

Where is it written "0?"

Install the plug in, close the browser and then open it again.
It will do its magic and show you a list you can pick your item from...
Hope that helps...

Some of the items listed past page 8 have on the NOTES area, "0 hours"

Update: Since the time we initially reviewed and measured the A140 and then the A130 (see the Performance page), it has come to light that a number of these Casio GreenSlim (LED/laser light source) projectors like the A140 have been measuring unacceptably low. This has been confirmed from several sources, including Casio. Since that was discovered, Casio says it has identified and corrected the mirror alignment problem they say was responsible. Meantime I have still another A140 here, which measures low. It is one of the older projectors however. I'm working to locate a couple of random projectors from the latest shipment, to confirm Casio's assertion. Assuming the problem is rectified, the XJ-A140 remains the excellent projector that caused us to give it a Best In Classroom - RunnerUp award. I will update, hopefully shortly, when I am confident Casio has this situation rectified. 6-27-10 -art

When I began evaluating the Casio XJ-A140's brightness I noticed that brightness levels were half of what the specs reported. Thinking this was a bit odd since most projectors are only off by about 20-30 percent we decided to contact Casio and see if there might be something wrong with the projector.

Casio sent us out the only projector they had available which was the XJ-A130. We felt that this was definitely an acceptable way to tell if this might be an isolated incident. They both use the same light engine which is the Hybrid Laser LED technology. The only difference was the lumen output. The XJ-A140 being 2500 lumens in the specs and the XJ-A130 being 2000. So essentially a 25 percent difference according to the specs.

When we tested the XJ-A130 we discovered that it produced 1857 lumens in its brightest mode. With that we could obviously see that the original XJ-A140 that we received was truly defective since measurements in bright mode were ranging right around 840 lumens. So from this we could deduct that the XJ-A140 having the same technology should produce about another 25 percent more brightness above the 1857 we got from the XJ-A130.

So the brightness levels in the various color modes and brightness modes measured out to be pretty good. Keep in mind we are estimating how the XJ-A140 performs based on the XJ-A130 results. In Standard Mode the XJ-A140 produced 2321 lumens. When we kept the Standard Mode but put the Casion in what is known as ECO Mode 1 the brightness fell to 1776 lumens. The Casio also has ECO Mode 2 which drops the brightness even more to 1143 lumens.
