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?...

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,...

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.

Thanks for the link. After a little bit more research, I ended up cancelling my order for the Optoma and ordered the refurb Epson 2150 for $500. I was okay with the Optoma being slightly dimmer, but...

That's interesting about the brightness. Do you mind sharing links to the reviews? I'm wondering if I should be cancelling my order and hunting for an Epson. Thanks in advance

Probably for any projector, especially within the home, you would be better off getting a Roku, most of which should do AirPlay and Miracast (wireless display), or a Google Chromecast with Google TV,...

I have the Optoma HD28HDR, which is like this but slightly higher. It's nice, I don't notice rainbow effect, but all the reviews I've seen say the Epson 2100/2150 are effectively brighter at 2500...

Not to discount what you're saying (or those that see the rainbow effect), but doesn't this only affect certain individuals? Meaning, if you experience rainbow effect with the 146X, you would...

Be aware: fan noise and rainbow artifacts are relatively common complaints. The rainbow artifacts are less noticeable on higher end projectors than these budget models.
This is a pretty good price...
