Lamp Life
on July 21, 2012

I very rarely write reviews but I have been driven to by my outrage at the lamp life on this projector. I have owned one for about 18 months now and I am about to buy my third bulb! The first two lasted 600-700 hours when the spec say they should last 4000!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible lamp life but great picture

1094 hours bulb life TOTAL!
It worked well until the end though- noticed it getting dim less than a week before failure of the bulb completely.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bulb Life
on July 6, 2011

from Littleton, CO
Very disappointed bulb lasted only 7 months with limited use. 4000 hours is a joke. Try more like 1000. Picture is good but having to pay 300 for a new bulb 2 times a year is just terrible.

I have had this projector over 2 years now and it has treated me very well!! I did have 2 bulbs go out of me but the customer service in this company has been unmatched and still going! I have a perfect picture of 124 inches at 13 feet away. Indoor lighting does not affect it like I have had in the past projectors. Would highly recommend this product and at the very least this company
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lamp does not last
on October 18, 2012
Posted by: Brian
from Charlotte, NC
Lamps do not last near the 4000 hours specified. I got 1580 hrs out of the last genuine Epson lamp before it got very dim and burst. I am now on my 3rd lamp. Open air mount and kept the filter clean. I believe these units are plagued with a design flaw with regards to cooling. Placed the unit in "high altitude" mode in hopes my new lamp lasts longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Lamp Life only 900 hours
on May 14, 2011
Posted by: heron44
from Buena Park, CA
Very disappointed at the life of the lamp. Epson claims 4,000 hours, but we barely got 900 hours before the lamp died on us.
Color and brightness were great while it lasted, but at only 900 hours I am incredibly disappointed.
