Posted June 25, 200817 yr Admin just bought this projector at the advice of the great Johnecon2001.attempting to install it now. Also picked up a Onkyo 7.1 with HDMI switching. I'll post up picks later today when it's working.
June 25, 200817 yr Mark was on a budget. But we got pretty great gear that fits his needs.Unfortunately he's still a HTIB guy. Maybe we can build a sub though.
June 26, 200817 yr Author Admin well here's my first attempt at a projector install. I am still going to do something with the mounts to the screen, they look horrid, and upgrade the reciever today, but other then that i'm pleased with the outcome so far.The dogs slept through most of it. hanging the screen.The center junction box was a ceiling fan we took out and used for a power source.Put an in wall circuit protector in for the power source. gotta do some touch up paint here.new speakers are soon to come i'm sure..but for now its just a boston acoustics sub/sat system.
June 26, 200817 yr Great Job Mark, that projector install is exactly what I was talking about! wootWe need to build an ICON sub now.

Man what a projector for under $3000.Briancan get an optoma 1080P projector WITH SCREEN from Costco for about $1000!!I gotta say though... after owning an HD projector....there's nothing else like it...

July 2, 200817 yr now we gotta get you to throw away that crap around it your woman thinks are speakers
July 24, 200817 yr Is it true that if you buy a projector for a daily use, then be prepared to buy a bunch of replacement bulbs? I was || <--- that close to buying a projector when someone told me that I will be going through at least $200 in bulbs a month because of daily use. Is this true?

I was || <--- that close to buying a projector when someone told me that I will be going through at least $200 in bulbs a month because of daily use. Is this true? $200 a month?!?!? Jesus, slap the person that told you that. Lamps last a minimum of 8 months depending on use and type of projector. Most are rated at 2000+ hours.

Jesus, slap the person that told you that. Lamps last a minimum of 8 months depending on use and type of projector. Most are rated at 2000+ hours.Haha. I should. But this is what I was thinking. I'm using a TV screen (projector) to be used as my computer screen, for the ps3, and satelite. So basically an all in one. It will be turned on and off each day. Is that kind of use extremely hard on the bulb?I am liking the reviews of that Optoma HD65 Projector. I think that for 1000 dollars I can buy into a 92 inch screen without 1080p.Is there anything else that I should be considering? I'm very open.
July 25, 200817 yr Author Admin My last projector was a Dell, bulb lasted me 2yrs, and I used it every single day!
November 22, 200816 yr Author Admin finally got around to getting some pics, some are blury still. night shots are tough for my 12.1 megapixel sony aparently..
November 22, 200816 yr have you had prior experience with dlp? personally, from many lcd's (panel and projection) plasma's and lcos's my dlp's have been my favorite televisions to date. great choice for the price.
November 22, 200816 yr im jelous also..haha..but anyways nice man..looks very good...also like the install..it looks nice and pro
February 26, 200916 yr Author Admin well it was fun while it lasted. The bulb blew(actually exploded) today with only 594hrs of use on it. It was supposed to last up too 2000hrs. It was even mounted next to the AC vent which I thought would help it. Anyways, new bulb is $300, so it will be "out of order" for a while now.
February 27, 200916 yr wtf, shouldn't that be covered under the 1 year warranty??? i've had every lcd, lcos or dlp lamp that burned out within a year replaced under the manufacturers warranty. is that outlet in the ceiling filtered and protected? a surge, spike or brownout could have caused an early "blow up."
