Hey guys,
As the name of the thread suggests, I am completely new to this particular part of the forums. I am seriously considering getting myself a projector and so I have decided to do my homework before I blow my interest-free student overdraft on one (he he!).
The general idea that I am getting is that DLP (for home cinema purposes) is more appropriate and durable than LCD. Can anybody confirm this?
My main two questions are these: How far are we away from manufacturing a projector that has a non-renewable light source? I must say that I feel the maintanance issue of approx £300 for a replacement lamp is making me think long and hard. I could argue that one projector and two lamp changes later constitutes a plasma screen, but then I have none of the mobility.
My second big question is which projector for around the £1 000 - £1 200 mark would be most recommended, bearing in mind the resolution, lamp life and lumens.
Thank you very much to anybody that takes the time to reply to my post.
Cheers,
Johann
