Early Lamp Death

10-09-2011 Early Lamp Death

With much pomp and circumstance, I upgraded to 120 inches of Epson HC 8100 1080p goodness almost 2 years ago. Now, only 1120 hours into the life of the lamp, my Battlefield games have a new challenge of perpetual twilight. Currently the highest brightness setting for the projector gives an image that is almost passable, but it's clear death has come 3,000 hours early for my lamp. After checking the warranty, my lamp has indeed expired and I'm left with a $200 repair, or in the case of my cheap self a $125 knockoff eBay version. We'll see if the knockoff ends up beating the OEM's 1,000 life, I doubt it can do any worse.

I blame Ron for him personally buying the first projector on the planet therefore making you want one. Which means Ron owes you $200 /sarcasm

Why sarcasm? I suggest the hairy canadian heads to his local bank to exchange his monopoly money for 200 American dollars before we send in the troops
