1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Bulb Hassle, April 15, 2005

Okay, digital projection on a budget? I bought this item a few years back. The first $400.00+ bulb blew out in less than 300 hours. I contacted Toshiba and they replaced it, since it didn't get anywhere near the 2,000 hour "lifespan" they claim. The next bulb blew out at 460 hours. I called again. Nothing. No replacement. No service. I was on the phone with them for 4.5 hours and all I could get was 2 promises to "get a call back from one of our supervisors". None of my messages were ever returned. No one ever "called back". No replacement, or offer to replace, or even service sans the attitude. If the bulbs lasted 1400 hours, or even 1,000, I wouldn't be nearly as upset about this hunk'o'junk, but at $400.00+ per bulb, I'm paying an extra $60 dollars for every hour I watch it! Also, I've been typing $400.00+, because the bulb cost has risen every time I've checked into it. The current SRP is $453.00 for one bulb. If you get over 400 hours on a bulb, you're lucky! Avoid this unit, and after my experiences with their "customer service"-less calls, avoid this company's products like the plauge.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is sooo cool!!!, December 28, 2004

My husband has wanted to get a video projector for a while, but just never took the plunge. (...). I convinced him to get this for himself for a late Christmas present.

We brought it home and hooked it up easily. My family is watching "LOTR - The Two Towers" right now. We can not believe how cool this is.

I am so glad that we bought this. This video projector is neat because it is lightweight and portable. We can use it in any room. We are not limited by screen size, only by the size of the wall. So far our picture is 70", but as soon as my kids move a couple of books shelves (ha ha) we will expand to 150".

I agree with the previous poster. I have over 2300 hours on my first bulb. This has been a great buy. I don't want to sound fake or like I am advertising, but it really has been a fun toy. I tell my friends that it is one of the only big ticket items I have not had buyers remorse about.
