Considering the high cost of replacement bulbs (this one costs
roughly about the same as I paid new for the entire unit), I was
wondering if any of you folks out there who actually have owned one of
these things could give me suggestions on making it last?
In other words, do you have any tips for things I can do to make it
less likely that the bulb will fail early? The only idea I have so far
is to limit it to watching DVD's. (rather than regular TV)
When you've had your bulb fail, what caused it? I guess that could
help me know what to avoid.
Thanks!
We don't keep the TV on all day long even though it is the main TV (in
the living room). It is probably on for about 15 hours a week.
I think you should just enjoy your projector and not worry about the
bulb's life.
The big killer with projector bulbs is heat. Put it on a UPS so
that a power glitch or outage doesn't shut it down without its'
cool-down period.
