pro 's : the picture be great even with Standard Cables\/HD TV 's interlaced picture . it work great for xbox 360 especially with game like Rock Band , Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk Skate where you want a bigger picture for immersion . 10 $ for the xbox 360 's Audio RC\/Optical converter cable , but no biggy : d I have it project at ~ 80 '' screen . in which beat the pants off a standard 46 '' lead tv for around 60 % of the price . my fiancee and she cousin be skeptical as to how well it work and why its not a common fixture in most people home at such a affordable price . I win the skeptic 's over with great picture despite all the light be on , and still a great define picture . con 's : no audio out so you always splitting the audio off at the device . Optical which usually be provide with hdmus device be limit to a receiver -lrb- ~ 300 $ + -rrb- \/ converter -lrb- ~ 40 $ -rrb- \/ high end sound system -lrb- ~ 250 $ + -rrb- . no tv tuner build in but the device that provide that be generally tv Tuner Boxes -lrb- ~ 100 $ + -rrb- \/ vcr -lrb- ~ 25 $ + -rrb- \/ dvd Player with tuner -lrb- ~ 100 $ + -rrb- . replacement bulb -lrb- ~ 125 $ -rrb- . I do the whole converter + VCR Route for around +70 $ other : at a average of 5hr 's a day the bulb will last ~ 2yr in which ill probably retire this unit and shove it in the spare bedroom , and buy it another bulb and upgrade .
