How long does a projector light bulb last?

best $700 projector image

William

I just bought a projector the other day, and I expect to use it alot outside when it is dark to watch movies while I have parties at my pool. So I was wondering how long can it last for? I believe it is an espon and I bought it from best buy for about $400.

Answer
Anywhere from a few hours to several years. In theory the rated lifetime is between 2000 and 5000 hrs of use ... depending on model and power setting on the projector. In practice lifetime can be longer if left on or much shorter if not treated right. See the article at the link.

Replacements vary from about $100 to $700+ depending on brand/model.

Do home theater projectors do good for computer gaming?

I was thinking of buying a Mitsubishi HC1600 HD DLP Projector for $700, but would it be able to keep up with a computers quick tasks? Like during high speed gaming? Also are there high quality projectors out there that are specifically made for computer gaming? The projector won't be used for everyday tasks, just for when I'm on EVE or watching a movie from my computer.

Answer
it will lag a bit but its not like you're competitive to mind a millisecond delay, and i don't think it will matter much on EVE
so try it
don't worry if your projector can handle it, it just takes the signal given it and displays it, the graphics card you have is what is important. you need a good card to work on a large screen.
