Rating: - Can use even if bulb burst.
A previous review warned not to use this if bulb burst. This is not correct. I waited to install this second bulb before writing this (this is the second one to burst due to the over 3000 hours used). I removed the old burst bulb and saw that the damage was contained within the bulb housing. Just to insure the best image, I carefully cleaned the color wheel with a damp qtip and rotated it to get it clean. The new bulb works good as new. My x1 projector image has never looked better. If you have any doubts it seems that the bulb can be returned as per amazon's return policy. By the way, I got my bulb from Amazon in 3 days with free shipping.
Rating: - here is the real news
this is a sub-thousand projector. bottom line i have had one for four years and burned 2000 hours on it. Are there better projectors -- yes, but for the money, this one gets 5 stars. you need to clean the filter every 300 hours, this takes 4 minutes. just take the bulb out and get the dust off of the screen. this is very important because bulb life is depenent on keeping it cool. i have been very impressed with this unit and with the picture quality. if you look at the pic for the unit you can see the screen on the side. its like a lint collector on a clothes dryer. just open it up every 300 hours (4 months) and clean scrape off the lint. im going to do mine right now.
Rating: - Get a battery backup for your projector!
This product is necessary for the use of your projector. Obviously! =) Unfortunately it is VERY $$$$$$, and the life of the lamp does not last a long time. When using projectors, the lamp needs to be cooled for a bit before completely shutting down, otherwise the life of the lamp diminishes. This was the case with the lamp that came with the projector that I purchased. It would be a good investment to purchase a computer UPS when using a projector to make sure that the lamp gets "clean" and consistent power as well as providing power in situations where you have a sudden blackout. This will give you some time to do a proper shutdown of the projector and also provide power for at least a minute or so to cool down the lamp!
Rating: - easy
I asked for a 4.000 hour lamp, but I think they don't produce any more. Very easy to install, but it's expensive
Rating: - Don't buy if your bulb burst
Do not buy this if your bulb has burst. There will be powder all over the mirrors and lenses inside the projector (mine was an X1). Unless you clean out the projector the image will be ruined. There is one lens made of soft plastic & it will surely be scratched by the time you get all the powder off it. InFocus will not sell any internal parts and the minnimum repair fee is $250. So you will have to pay another $250+shipping to have them clean out the projector in addition to the cost of the bulb. If your bulb has burst you may be better off buying a used projector that works still.
