Two false starts in over 200 hrs viewing time. Prob eradicated by freeing up underside vents - so I'm going for no.

Mine developed two dead pixels and a big red 'blob' last nght as I was watching it and then it would not swtch on properly.

Also had two false starts.

This is my second HS10...I've had it since 1st April (maybe that was a bad day to collect) and only had 14hours on the clock.

Retunred it this morning and will have to wait up to four weeks, or more, for them to get a credit from Sony before getting a replacement unit.

Cheers, Lee

Hello,

Had my projector in January or February (Can't remember) had not a single problem. Not sure how many hours it has been used for, I would think at least 150 - 200.

Cheers

Rob

Edit: Oh yeah, I voted NO!

I had two. The first one developed a dust blob after one day. Nexnix changed it.

The second one had white dots flying accross the screen when using the DVI input (this was only noticeable on a dark background). I had a feeling this one was a bit noisier than the first.

The HS10 has an awesome picture, but the noise started to get to me in the end, so I went for a refund (so I could wait to see the AE300).

Very impressed with Nexnix though.
