Not cheap....or maybe I'm just poorIt looks like the LS10000 will be at a similar price point to JVC's X500 and Sony's VW300.
Yes there should be very little heat and thus not much in the way of cooling, so they should be very quiet.So if no waiting for them to heat up/cool down does that mean that they need less cooling (fan noise)
Yep, this is exactly what I want.
Fed up with buying bulbs every 3 months.
Wow. You must either watch films all day every day Nick or just leave your PJ on 24/7.
The Epson looks promising..... Certainly interesting times ahead
700-900 hours? Surely there must be a fault somewhere if thats all the hours your getting.He he, I do try to watch a film daily. But come 5 pm the PJ in used for TV use mainly until around 2am. Bulbs start to flicker from 700-900 hours then go so dim you can't see anything.

I guess you are not using genuine lamps then?
But if you're watching it all night you should be turning it on and off LESS than if you watched 2 hour films only, not more.

Just as aside (and this applies to the Epsons too, presumably), you should never have an LCD projector in for very long periods if time.
Back when DLP was taking off TI did an experiment, leaving a DLP and LCD on constantly, same material.
I can't remember how long it took, but the LCD chip didn't respond well to the constant heat, and went funny in some way or other.
LCD manufacturers cried fowl, noting that people don't use projectors like that, and that had they been turned on for just a few hours at a time for a film there'd have been no problem.
Speaking as a teacher, in the past we've had mainly LCD models, many left on for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week - it's not pretty when the chip goes.
I wonder if the laser light is less hot than traditional lamp light.

I wonder if this applies to reflective technology though in the same way as transmissive designs?

As long as you remember that comparison of DLP and LCD by maker of DLP chips isn't the most neutral one that there is. A manufacturer of competing products is more keen to find the defects of technology but I don't remember if the longevity of LCD panel has been a real problem at any time or was such test just marketing BS.
