Projector is not obsolete.  It needs a room with controllable ambient light to perform at its best. Hence, not many ppl could have the luxury of a dedicated room for projector. Some transformed their living halls to accommodate the projector by using black-out curtains.

A good projector can really output very high PQ. Moreover, projector has becomes more affordable in recent years, which is good for consumers.

Once you go the projector path, there will be no turning back. Like geforce1999, 60" is indeed very small if you ask someone with a projector. I have seen many projectors setup. Average size is 92" - 106".

dirtrun, congrats on the new JVC baby! There is a unit on demo in HN, Ikano. Very good PQ for the price. How much that you paid for?

Is bulb too expensive and price the same level as the projector a myth?

I remember last time dunno which model. Optoma 65 or what. Some one bundle with extra lamp. So I think
it could not be that expensive right?  hmm.gif

Different brnds hv diff prc lists for their replcmnt bulbs.. if it realy matters so much 2 u .. then research first b4 deciding on wat make/model to buy.. but believe me when I say.. blb life/price shld be d least of ur factors in considerin wat pj to buy.. u shld tink abt contrst, blck lvls, colorscale, brightness, ease of settin up and most of tis are subjective at best.. prfrbly to see for urself is d best way to decide.. other than tat is set a budget n look at d best rvwd pj tat u can find considerin wat is important to you..
FWIW.. I bought spare lamps for my hd250 cos I plan to use tis pj for as long as possible n its cheaper if u buy it together,,
