What is the working hours or rated life cycle of the bolb?

This is the main reason I started looking into the LED option.

I just got a Pico P2 projector rated at 33 Lumen, tried it in one of the clubs and it shows nice .but kind of faint, so i'm sending it back today.

They have a HS 102 model that is rated at 160 lumen which is five times stronger, that seems to me to be good enough; maybe?
Any input on this is appreciated.

I'm a little confused with the lumen rating because I read other posts concerning projector topics and it seems that the consensus is a 1500 lumen projector.

I was surprised when I tested the unit because the picture quality was very good with only "33 lumen" on the P2, but not strong enough due to the ambient light present in the club, so 1500 limen seems overkill.

Question is the lumen rating for Bolb projectors the same for LED projector?

Thank You

I've been looking at that 160 lumen projector too, I like the idea of an LED instead of a conventional Bulb.

I too will be interested in the answers to your questions.
 
Yah I er Ya

I'm relatively new at this myself so if anyone can help with some experienced answers it would be appreciated.

Thanks

coOL!!!
 
The specs and the price is great.. I would like to see one in action.


 
Projectors have come a long way recently. I have got to upgrade mine and after an immense amount of research... The one to get is the ACER S1200 It has an ultra short throw with rear and front projection and a bright 2500 lumens lamp.

As for the price Very reasonable £600 ish
 
 
ya rite... 45 lumens you gotta be kidding, don'tv get sukked into that one. you will always need at least 2000 (2500 even better) lumens.

Yes, i see, 33 lumens is 33 lumens, of course it is faint (by definition)..you will typically need 2000 - 2,500 lumens at best.

good find Rob! I have been looking for a short throw projector for a while now and nearly went with a BenQ at £450 but I think the Acer is deffantly the way to go. Great if your a mobile DJ like my self as often short of room behind the rig/screen for the projector and this ultra short throw one will be a winner!!

Just found it at Dixons for £549 Click Here! you can normaly find 10% off vouchers online for dixons as well so that will help :)

What No VGA, to bad, no buy

dumb question but, how the hell does an LCD projsctor work??? where do they put the "liquid crystal"??? with a tv its obvious becaus the crystal liquid is injected into the screen. surely a lense full of liquid crystal cant be that much use..
 
I picked up one of these Boxing Week for half price $350CDN. Actually am going to use it for my business & for my home theater.

Here are the specs:

I would rate it 12 out of ten. I have used other projectors at clubs and this blows them away hands down for the money.

Here is a screen shot during the Canada-U.S game broadcast on TSN. This is just running regular Digital cable, not hi-def.



Here is a shot of a scene from the IMAX movie "Superspeedway" Note the newspapers along the baseboards as I had just finished painting the wall white. (use flat white ceiling paint) Again this is not high def, just regular dvd through s-video.



Suffice to say I should have bought two or three of these at that price.
 

The main spec in a projector is which technology it uses. And also lumens and if it is a short lenght to have it's full screen.

Optoma uses Texas Instruments DLP technology. It could tire your vision if you look at it more than an hour. DLP has a little mirror moving inside, so it flashes very quickly but it could cause headache like old monitors used in rooms with tube lamps.

The other technology around is 3 LCDs, this technology used RGB LCDs to reproduce colors, so it could not cause this "stroboscopic" effect that the other do. This projectors has better resolution (like an LCD monitor is) and has better colors in a moving frame (like in movies and/or video clips).

Lumens are important, usually with 2500 and better could have some lighting around and the projector still let us see the videoclip in the screen. But if you are going to open a widerscreen and have more lighting, you need more lumens then. 3500 is a good one, while 6000 or more are for a wider screen at a far lenght from the screen.

We have also miniprojectors that have less than 100 lumens. This ones are used in a short lenght from the screen and could let us have a good luminosity even with only a few lumens. But if you use some lighting near them, this light would not let you see the screen at all. so keep it in mind, those projectors has to be very near of their screens and no light has to touch this screen to keep looking the projector on the screen.

There are many cheap projectors around there, but usually there is a catch, so try to get a brand that don't go to much to warranty and also has a good coverage.

Good Luck!
 
All I know is that as a former electronics rep (Toronto area rep for Japan Victor Company-JVC) & having sold consumer electronics for over 15yrs, & spinning strictly music videos for the over the past year 5 nights a week, and having used many brands of projectors (expensive & cheap at the clubs I work at) the Optoma (reg. retail is $700.00 CDN) blows anything I have ever used out of the water & then some.

I've watched about a dozen or so movies on it (the pics are from my living room) & there is NO flickering, NO headache. That is running regular DVD (NOT BluRay) thru S-Video. Those pics are with live video, NOT freezeframe, with a cheap KODAK digital point & shoot.

Absolutely mind blowing picture quality gang.

If you can find me one that has a better picture for that kind of money, I'll eat my shoe lol
