Doesn't the Optoma last 3x as long. I'm thinking going Epson. Seems like people like the BenQ's and the Epson's over the Optoma's.

Sounds like it's depends on usage/mode, but the Optoma could last 3x longer than Epson. Both Epson and Optoma are rated for 4,000 hours on bright mode. Epson tops off at 7,500 hours on eco mode, Optoma can do 10,000 hours in eco mode or 15,000 hours in dynamic mode, which will throttle the brightness up and down... I guess it assumes most of the images, on average, will be dark in that mode.

Nice, I'm going Epson 2150 too. I'm going to use my PC as a wireless source as well.

Anyone know how long bulbs last in storage? might as well keep a few spares.

Can I use this 8 hours a day? because I heard it gets hot and projectors aren't meant to be used all the time.

I have the 142x or 143x ? They seem to keep making tweaks to this projector. I had some weird image brightness pulsing after about a 2 years in ECO mode. Turning off ECO it went away. I read a few people claim that running this purely in ECO mode day one can have some impact on bulb wear and cause brightness pulsing?

Other wise happy. I think I paid $436?

I feel like this goes for cheaper if you wait... But times are different now.

I run mine at 130 inches.

EDIT ----

Doh. 243x is what i have.

Link on Eco blub flicker...

As stated. Turning off Eco fixed. Never went back to Eco since. Maybe i could now... but i am used to the very slight increase in fan noise now... and like the puch of the extra brightness.
