Well, I just spent my annual bonus.
Thank you for shopping with us. You ordered "Sony VPLHW45ES 1080p 3D...".We’ll send a confirmation when your item ships.
My BenQ projector is only 8 months old, and it blew a lamp with under 1000 hours on it., Also, for my dedicated HT room, it's too bright, and too short of throw. (have vents, wiring, etc to avoid.) This sony should work much better in my light controlled room and I can mount it where I want it 15 feet back from the screen.
Used to have a Mitsu HC3800 before the BenQ, but I gave it to my brother after the colorwheel failed.
After I get my Benq HT2050 RMA ... I'll maybe stick it in FS/FT, but I think the woman might want to post to ebay ... I'll let her deal with it
In any case, I wasn't planning to spend it, but the lamp popping was the final nail in the coffin ....
