The answer is above you. Replacement bulps still are in the $300-$500 range. And the bulps start getting darker after 1000 hours and may blow up within 1000-3000 hours.. so that ticking noise you hear is not the wheel in the dlp projector, it's the money stream that trickles out of your pocket... |
Most projectors have ~5000 hour life expectancy for their bulbs and I've put 1900 hours on mine without any noticable brightness loss.
They have LED projectors now which have 500 to 2000 lumens and have 20,000 hour bulb life.
