Sorry to hear this bad news on this PJ, I actually plan to get one unit of H6D65 today, but after rounds of thinking... I am giving up this desire for now and just relying on my Sony 40" LCD KLV-400V300A.

Anyway, heard the after sales maintenance is quite responsive and well handle, I am sure your unit will be back on business within days!

Every item do has their Pro & Cons... in this case... is space vs money vs quality.

I actually do have 2x Sony Bravia LCD, one is 40" and another is 32". But as an avid Movie fella. I always intend to upgrade to projector with Optoma HD65 in my top selection. Issues that I have is to spent $ engage the equipment which I may ended up wasting my LCDs... moreover... it is about 3K++, not 300+.... Sian!

And of course... space for big screen and WIFE also another 2 major hurdles that I need to pass!

Actually, I am in IT business and I do know sometimes, "Shit!" happened for some unlucky electronic units. That's why warranty and maintenance is important as part of the purchasing aspect for keeping customer/user happy with the money they paid vs the quality of product they get.
I believe Optoma HD65 is a decent good quality product supported by a good local distributing company. So far I see they manage to attract so many users with quite minimum after sales technical issues which we dont see any "non-repairable" status.

For the offerred price tag vs the features, not many other is getting close to this unit. That's why this model will be my top PJ hunting priority.

The issue that stopping my intention to get this PJ is due to:

I am owned 40" LCD - Sony Bravia using it as HT monitor connect to Durian-Player, if get another
My consider my AV room small, 11ft x 8.5ft, thus... PJ screen and playback size might be an issue...

if I can overcome these 2 hurdles.. definitely buy!. Actually, my home minister already approved liao!
