too bad the excellent electronics and picture be totally cancel out by a bulb that do not last as advertise . Epson tout 4000 hour lamp life , but it be a BIG lie ! first bulb last 660 hour , die after the 90 day warranty on the bulb , but be replace under a secret extension to the warranty by Epson . second bulb last 700 hour , but the overall 2 year warranty be up , so tough luck . so , two bulb , 25 month of service , 1360 hour . you need to figure a new $ 270 bulb for each year of life when you calculate the cost to operate this pj .
