Hi guys, it's my first post in LYN and hope to find some help. Hv used my panny AE300 for >3 years and logged >2.5K hours and bulb is dim. It's still OK 'cos it's in full light controlled room but what troubles me lately is the CRT pj like "burnt-in" problem, e.g.  after watching 4:3 or 2.35:1 movie and back to 1.78:1 movie, I would get "burnt-in" effect of seeing the previous AR "box" appearing in dimmer light ouput. However it will recover after a movie or 2 in the same AR. Anyone knows what's the problem? Aged bulb or aged LCD panel?

Is it time to upgrade? Have tried to find excuses to upgrade (getting the CFO's approval). biggrin.gif

I have the exact same problem as yours. My panny AE200 "burnt-in" after 1000 hours of usage. It is getting more difficult to recover now. Sometimes, the projector has to be rested for a day to get back uniform light output for 1.78:1 movie.

It was due to the aged LCD panel. The aging problem of organic material in the LCD panel is the biggest weakness of LCD projector.

The latest LCD panels which are equipped on AE1000 and HC5000 are using inorganic material. Epson claimed that the new LCD panel has no more aging problem.

There is the only reason which is holding me back to upgrade to another LDC projector like TW700.

Hmm, thanks for the confirmation on LCD aging problem. So you're eyeing on the AX1K, TW1K or HC5K now?

Tim, are you sure you can get AX1K at only 6K+? That's really tempting man.. sweat.gif What's your source?

I am not interested in 1080 projector now. Too many things have to be considered, the player, the sources and $$.

I am eyeing on 720P DLP projector now as my next upgrade.

Another option would be PriceJapan's Mitsubishi HD3100 (Rm6xxx). According to reviews, it has that image depth. need all your advice on this one. Thanks in advance.





Has anybody order projector from PriceJapan before?

Do we have to pay import tax if we order projector from oversea?

Are u sure we can get the same price in Msia as from PriceJapan?

For example, the TW700 is only USD12xx (RM45xx) from PriceJapan. How can we get this price from the distributors in Msia?
