Great Value! Great way to get into projectors without breaking the bank!.......2007-04-11

I read the other reports unhappy about Bulb life. We've had this unit for about 20 months and have been very happy with it. We've definitely gotten 2000 hours of use with it before blowing a bulb. It certainly doesn't go to 3000 hours (at least not for us), but for the price of this unit, even with a bulb replacement, it's a great deal. Technology keeps improving so using this for a couple years while prices continue to drop and quality and features keep getting better is a nice and affordable option for folks with an open wall to project on.

If you compare this box on any white or grey wall in your house with an HD signal to a 1000 dollar price range flat screen of the largest size you can get, you'll definitely choose this. That's the same price comparison as buying this plus a replacement bulb. There's likely going to be something even cooler in a couple years and perhaps when it's time to replace the bulb a second time, you'll choose a new unit with new features at that time. Until then, for the money, you'll love this thing. We're totally spoiled watching everything at 7 foot high on our living room wall. HD sports especially look great. Watching regular non HD TV isn't as amazing, thought the size is still great. Everyone who has visited, including those with really nice flat screens have raved about it. We've had a better unit (way more expensive, but better stats) which blew up after about 60 days. That DID have a better picture but since it blew so quickly, we traded for this unit. If budget is an issue for you, this is a great way to get a projector. Flat screens are nice too, but tiny in comparison and the features are ever changing and the prices are ever dropping. Again, this is a good option while you wait a couple years for better and newer options. I am sorry to hear about those who've had bad bulb life. It's also unfortunate to hear Sharp wasn't more understanding. But the unit itself is well done and well priced.

And for those considering a screen, if you have a blank wall, try that first. You might find you like the extra size you get just by going directly to the wall versus the limitions of a screen. We didn't do anything special to our light grey walls and it looks fantastic.

Great projector for the price....until bulb goes........2007-01-11

I am a teacher and purchased one of these for use in school. I like it so much, I bought another for home. A week after the second one arrived the bulb in the first blew. Three weeks later the bulb in the second unit went. I called Sharp and explained and shipped both in. They replaced the bulb in the first unit under the warranty, but the second they wouldn't replace since it was over 90 days. After much "discussion", they gave me the "deal" of a half price bulb ($150). I took it and now will hold my breath to see how long the new bulbs last. I treat these machines like babies, never bumping them, always use proper shutdown techniques, and regularly clean dust off fan grilles, but still lost both bulbs. The specs from Sharp say the bulb will last 2000-3000 hours. Not even close! Beware of this machine.

Great machine Short term/Not great long term.......2006-04-26

I've had 2 of these machines in the last 6 months. There's a reason for the 90 day lamp warranty. If you're lucky like I was, your lamp will burn out before you get to 90 days. One day past that & you'll be paying $300+ for a replacement. Given the initial investment + the $300.00 every 3 months for a new bulb, I'd say this product is barely worth 1 star. The quality of the product is great is you only need it for 90 days. Beware of DLP projectors, especially the SHARP!!!

There is only a 90 day warranty on the LAMP. I had this item from Sharp for a little over a year. The lamp had 59% life on it but went dark on me. I had to unplug the device numerouse time because after putting it in the sleep mode, the remote wouldn'tallow me tpo turn it back on. It came with a 3 year warranty (24 hour replacemnt)and had it for almost a full week and they are currently holding my Projector hostage. They are claiming that my lamp warranty has expired, I barely used it since I am in school and used it a couple of hours on week days and about 4 to 6 hours on weekends. It dropped from 49% to 63 % in the lamp life and when I sent it in to them it had already dropped to 59% lamp usage. All of this in the economy mode. I wouldn't buy another thing from this company, because the lamp, s/h all comes to almost $600, almost the cost of a brand new projector. In my opinion, SHARP is a SCAMMING Company that lost my business forever.
