Wow. Lol. Didn't think anyone would bump this old thing.
Anyway, the projector has worked out just fine. I use it every night to watch television, and the movies on cable. To this day friends who come over drop their jaw, and delivery men still do a double take. I've even caught a few neighbors just staring through my sliding glass door from the parking lot.
As for the heat problems, I don't have any with my bulb so long as the 120mm fan is running. I'm not sure whether anyone has tried a larger bulb yet without issues of frying (literally melting) their heat shields (Lexan XL10) or the lcd display.
If I could do it over again, I would probably go for the design that looks like an oval when viewed from the sides to make it appear smaller in size. Another thing would be to put a switch on it so I don't have to reach down and plug in the bulb part of the projector--which I could do, if I hand the time. Thanks for remembering my little projector. I'm sure the community has come up with lots of new and innovative ideas as I haven't been to the forums probably since the Superbowl.
