I have own my projector since September 2004 and have not experience any problem with it yet . I have about 2200 hour log on the bulb so far and the brightness have not go down from what I can tell . it project well onto a white wall , but I want a more movie-like experience so I build a 90 inch screen to project it onto . like one of the other reviewer , when I go to turn off the projector it sometimes act like I hit the button twice , but since I be try to turn it off anyway I do not care . never have the problem of accidentally turn it off before . the remote be quite thin so it be hard to hit the button to accidentally turn it off . overall I be quite happy with it . I have take it around to my friend 's house for the superbowl and other event since my place be too small for a large gathering and it be a quick setup . the picture quality be still quite good in normal lighting so I do not have to close the blind every time I want to watch tv . I would recommend this projector to anyone on a budget . for the price it can not be beat .
