I buy the projector in December 2001 . the projector have some quality problem . lamp explosion : the original lamp that come with the new projector be explode after about one year of use -lrb- about 400 hour -rrb- . it occur when it be project a movie without any indication . other user also experience lamp explosion with the projector . Difficult-to-Turn-On Problem : the projector have problem with start up the lamp . most of the time , when I turn on the power switch of the projector , the fan will start immediately , but the lamp do not light . it do produce some encouraging sound-the noise one hear when the lamp turn on . if you switch off the projector then switch it on again , the lamp might start . however , the problem now get really bad for I . almost every time when I try to use the projector , I really have to switch on\/off many time in order for the lamp to show any light . Service problem : right after my lamp explode , I send the unit back to Infocus . Infocus change the lamp and clean the unit for I . but the difficult-turn-on problem get worse after the service . I call they several time , the technician tell I that they do not know the cause and suggest that I try to switch off and on to solve the problem . it do work . but what a strange way to turn a projector on ! this hard to turn on problem be really annoying , so I call infocus again . the technician refuse to explain what the problem be , and ask I to send Infocus us$ 999.99 so that they can take a look at it . of course i do not send the projector back for they to take another look . I ask Infocus if they know any technical flaw with the projector , and I be tell that there be ` none . ' so apparently Infocus do not know why the projector have this difficult-to-turn-on problem . therefore , they might have the same problem with other projector also . Summary : the Infocus lp 350 have quality control problem , I do not recommend this projector . apparently Infocus be not aware of the problem ; other model might also have this problem because they share a lot of part and design . I would definitely avoid Infocus . mike
