Ha, they still make lots of money off of their cell phones with Sprint. They also manufacture a lot of embedded electronic components too if I'm not mistaken.

That price is insane.

That's something I know first hand, and I'm only running at 720p. If people are concidering buying an HD tv THINK ABOUT GETTING A PROJECTOR. Do some research, learn the benefits and disadvantages, but trust me when I say they KICK AZZ for gaming.

unforchinatly replacment lamps are expensive 380 and usually dont last very long so using it for tv would be a mistake

were i work they rent them out for 400 euro a day + screen

its expensive but they cost about 6000 to 9000 thousand plus 800 for a replacment lamp

[dhammalama]

That seems a little steep for the rental!!
I'm guessing your company's projectors are suited to pretty large venues. Like movie theatres ;)

if you use it only for gaming and movie
NEVER use it for TV

[BloodySinner]

Wow. Retarded price tag.

The benefits out weigh the disadvantages. There is 365 days in a year if you were to use the projector 8 hours a day everyday 365 x 8 = 2920 hours which is what most low cost projectors will run in low power mode (the mode most people will use). I probably average more like 4 hours a day since it would be used for Computer/Gaming/TV. In low power mode I'd of course double my usage to 2 years. If your planning on using a Projector all day everyday I would suggest going for a Projector that has an average usage rating that is a little bit higher. There are companies that use bulbs that last longer.

Projectors are not made for the average user. They have a higher maintenance cost than Regular TVs....but....

If your a technology freak and like the wow factor that comes with Big screen you love front projection systems. To the person above I don't know anyone who seriously can go back to a regular tv (whether it is standard or HD).

After I tasted the fruit of front projection TV, I could not go back to regular TV even for just TV watching. So while I do have to fork out around $400 for a bulb every now and then there is no worries. It makes a lot of people cry when they come over and experience Big Screen front projection in all its glory - especially gamers. They cry not because the initial cost of the projector but what they can't get over is the $300 to $500 for the replacement bulb and whatever the cost for replacement air filter and they know they can not bring themselves to pay for greatness (even though they truly want too in their hearts).

Eventually, LEDs will become good enough technology wise as well as price wise to use as lamps for mid to high end projectors. When this happens, more and likely you will never have to replace the bulb and heat won't be much of an issue so more and likely will be a sealed system with some sort of passive cooling. When all this happens it will be the dawn of a new era - an era when Front Projectors might succeed TVs as the main choice for viewing by the average consumer. TVs still have a good 10 years before 80" to 100" TVs are in a price range worth getting by consumers and even then will probably be considered expensive still while front projectors 10 years from now can easily be found under $1000 that will do 1080p (if not more), be bright enough to go above 100", and probably put some current High-end Front projectors to shame in terms of quality.

The future sure is scary, scary as in Thrill ride or watching your favorite scary movie scary, its exciting.

But you don't have to wait now, if you got the money Front Project Gaming is pure joy. Once you do it you will never go back to regular tv.
