How could i maximize bulb life for my porjector. recently it went out. it went out prematurely. is their any cause for this. not well ventalation, i also a air vent right above it that blows out air. hot air this season. and could that make that much of a difference on how long it lasts. its always on economy. also, would having the projector turned on and off more often cause the lamp to go out
Answer
1. You should move your projector away from the vent, first thing. The dust and particles that come from the vent can do some real damage to your projector.
2. Be sure not to unplug your projector or shut it down completely before the fan has run for several minutes and turned itself off.
3. If your projector has a filter, (newer projectors may not have filters, but most older models do) be sure to clean it regularly.
Lamp life specifications can be a little deceiving. If your projector manufacturer says the lamp is supposed to last 4000 hours, its actually specifying a half life. Your lamp may last longer than that, but it should not fail completely before that time. But either way, your lamp will be less bright at 2000 hours than it was when you first purchased it. And it will be less bright at 4000 than it was at 2000. Manufacturer lamp warranties are typically only good for the first 90 days of ownership, (though some are now as long as a year), but extended lamp warranties can often be purchased for under $100 and may be worth the investment.
Someone mentioned that most projectors have fans that keep running once the projector has been shut down, that is true as long as you leave the projector plugged in. Newer projectors (those released in the last year or so) will include a battery that will run the fan even after it is unplugged, but if your projector is older than that, you won't have that feature.

Is the Mitsubishi EX51U Multimedia Projector a good projector?
bal
It has 2600 Lumens which I think is high. It is DLP which I understand is the best. A 2000:1 contrast ratio and a 4000 hour lamp life. They make it sound soooo good, but overstock.com is selling it for 66% off at only $860 bucks or so. Are there any major problems with the projector that I should know about? Are there any other affordable (under a $1000) projectors that are good quality (possibly on overstock.com)
Answer
Mitsubishi does make a great projector and that is about a normal price for it. There are a few places that have it for a bit less.
Just type in "Mitsubishi ex51u" in Yahoo search.
Overstock.com does not always sell overstock items. Sometimes they seem to just have normal items at normal prices and make you believe you are getting a great deal.
