the projector has only 15hrs on a 2000 hour bulb are these good projectors? thanks ..whats the best projector for this price?
Answer
In Focus make some very good projectors so it's certainly a "brand name".
The LP650 is an older projector originally selling for over $3000. That said, projector prices have dropped in the last couple of years, so a new projector with equivalent performance would be in the $1000 range.
The specs (DLP, 1024x768, 2500 lumens, 800:1 CR, 1.4:1 zoom, component and digital input (M1), 35/33 dB noise) are a bit of a mix today. The digital and component capability are good, so is the high brightness level, but fan noise is a bit high and contrast ratio is weak in today's world (That said the rated 800:1 is quite possibly comparable to projectors today rated at 2000:1 or even more due to the lack of standard methadology).
I can't comment whether the DLP colour wheel speed will be high enough to minimize the possibility of inducing "rainbow effect" (look elsewhere on the site at the 1st link for further info) if you are susceptible. Older projectors sometimes had slow wheels (less than 4X) that increased the chance ... but most people are not particulelry sensitive, so it may be entirely a non issue. On a positive point DLP projectors arguably have better longivity than LCD projectors.
Yoiu could probably get a projector with 800x600 resolution for $300-$400, but what you have is a name brand projector, that should work well in a home theatre environment (depending on video processing capability ... but IF are well respected in general).
Considering a new lamp is $550 from at least one source (2nd link), I think you got a fair deal (It wouldn't have been if it were an old lamp). That said ... read the 3rd link on how to maximize lamp life.

i am in the market for a projector. i have never owned one and no little to nothing about them. i own a large flat screen plasma tv, thats how i know about 1080p. i saw this one on amazon. it is one of few 1080p projectors i found under $2000. actually its the cheapest. tell me straight up. is this a piece of crap
ALSO WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I SHOULD LOOK @ WHEN BUYING A PROJECTOR. I WANT EVERY VITAL THING! THANX IN ADVANCE
Answer
Two Type of Projector LCD and DLP. LCD projector are quite, video are very vivid and bright but LCD projector are very big compare to DLP projector, which is smaller, louder fan noise, contrast (black level) are better than LCD projector. All projector require New lamp every 2000-3000 hours which is almost 3-5 year with 2-3 hours every day. But LCD projector can extend the lamp hours to 4000 to 5000 hours if the projector is clean regularly. DLP projector are not light that, if time limit is reach than you have to buy a new bulb. I would recommend you buy a Sanyo Z2000 1080p for $1549 with $600 rebate(at BHphoto.com). If that is to high, than buy a Optoma HD65, it's the best projector under $1000.00. Optoma is the leading budget projector for many year, it also have 2 year warranty. THe Sany Z2000 1080P have 3 year warranty. If you do buy a projector, make sure to at least buy 3 year warranty! Projector tend to brake down after warranty period, fixing it is costly so remember to buy extend warranty and regular cleaning for LCD projector and it will last a very long time.
