how many hours has it clocked? its still under warranty maybe can RMA?

hopefully this doesn't become a trend

did your bulb paucha? for my case below 100 hours half way watching paucah.. anyway optoma's distributor very good .. i bought from hiway laser n they claimed it from the distributor for me very very fast..  Not like our friend who bought AE from the irresponsible rubbish hifi shop who sold him product without a distributor here.. pui!  hopefully hd65 wont be like the previous model of optoma .. BREAKDOWN KING!!

Canot jump to conclusions yet until more similar cases appear. So far LYN only 2 cases of bulb pecah and 1 case power auto-off(maybe due to heat problem?)

And IIRC no mention of such cases in AVForum and AVSForum.

No worries, shud be ok wan. Worst case claim warranty lah.

coz i chicken brand ma takut overheat...

reading back the avs thread, the optoma tech guy actually said kenot move it within 5min nia after shutting down.. but he did say kenot say kenot turn it on within 8 hours after shutting down .. need to wait till the bulb has totally cooled down.. wonder y 8 hours so extreme

So far, I have not receive any complaint yet on the bulb 'paucah' (touch wood). All in all, more than 20 units. Only 1 time whereby the bulb burnt open  switched on for testing.

Oh yes, do you guys use automated power regulator for your pj?

Overheat? Hmmm.... you often watch for very long hours? Anyway, good that you have it back before long holidays.

how is your pj mounted? is it on ceiling, on table, wall shelf, ...

U know those melamin board they use to make furnitures/cabinets? There's a kind of sticker they use to stick onto the wood panel to make it look smooth. It's white in color and made of pvc i think. So they just paste that thing onto the plywood. no need to paint oso very white.

EDIT: Hi all, early morning post

I've posted here some pictures of my screen. I wanted a 106" diag screen, so the width is 52" and it's more than 4. Normal board size is 4'x6', so they have to combine 2 boards to make a 92"x52" board and thus there is a line in the middle of the screen

I still have no chance to test out the screen  but if i m not happy with the result, i can always wrap it with PJ screen cloth

[attachmentid=619345]

Hmm, never thought about reflections. THen i think no choice have to find something to wrap around it or paint with matte paint

If all else fails then have to buy a screen liao lor. Where to find 7' x 7' screen for RM250? hehe.

Projector is ok bro. Enjoying it every night with 720p feeds. Missus enjoying latest season of Desperate Housewives, CSI, Numb3rs etc @ 720p @ 120" hehehe. Clocked almost 30hrs already. Forgot to switch off twice already coz ter-sleep. Luckily aircond room, left it on for 7-8 hrs

Screen project on hold for a while. Due to minor reno, have to move my masterbedroom into the HT room. Once i free up the HT room i'll get the screen up. Now a bit itchy ass wan to modify my 106" screen to 110", have to add 2" wood to left, right and bottom of the screen. Going from 120" to 106" will be potong steam, so decided to go for 110" , in the middle hehe. But still haven't buy kain for the projector. Most prob will go for the ebay wan if i decided to buy.

I m downloading the manual right now. It's a phreaking 29mb file '

oh oh! my hd65 just konked out....got crackling/sizzling noise from inside...no light at all. SIGH

only about 60+ hours

ya, i think its also the lamp problem

synco, how long they take to fix and what they replace?

Does this happened after it was returned to you? Do not try to clean it by yourself. Get them to do it.

sent my hd65 on monday for repair and the techie later calls me to say nothing wrong-PJ working normally!! 

there were 2 other hd65 there for repairs.

so went back next day to collect back and now set-up working again. no problems.

have now rechecked the electrical wiring, just in case, and adjust aircon to blow into it to ensure no overheating.

so now have to hope that any problems if any happen during warranty.

I didnt have this problem. So far, Synco, ycs, toytoy and you only. Nira_110 with the highest usage (+600hrs) didnt encounter any problem.

Btw, do all of you using 1 wall socket to connect all gears? Anyway, have you contact the technician, Chen?
