This review is from: Sharp Notevision Xr-10x Home Theater DLP PojectorI bought my Sharp projector around 5 years ago, for around $1250. In the beginning it was absolutely great. I had it at 80" on my wall with Surround Sound. But over the past few years I have gone threw 5 bulbs, and 2 projectors. I have never gotten over the 1,000 hour mark on a bulb. The most recent bulb I bought(January 13, 2010, from Amazon) only lasted about 30 hours. I called customer service as usual and they wanted me to send the entire projector, even thought the bulb was under warranty. If you think that sounds weird, then you are correct. I spent 50 some odd dollars to ship it to them. Before I go any further let me just say that Sharp will charge you a 50 dollar evaluation fee to look at your projector, if it is not under warranty. So before it got to them I was sure I was out 100 dollars.Sharp informed me that if they find that something I did is the cause of the bulb exploding, then they will not honor the 90 day warranty on the bulb. Sure enough everything was my fault even though I babied the thing, haha. They want $648 dollars to fix the problem. If you do price comparing at all then you would know that you can buy a brand new XR-10X for $600-$850 dollars. Oh did I forget to mention that they are going to charge me $300 dollars for a new bulb, haha? While on the phone with the customer service agent I found out lots of things I didn't know about the projector. Like how it really isn't designed to be hung upside down from the ceiling. Or how it isn't really supposed to be used for more than 2 hours(continually) in a day. And how it is really marketed to businesses. So many things, that I went from angry to just laughing on the phone at the ridiculousness of it.Personally I think the projector was made to be faulty. It gets extremely hot, so hot that it will make your entire room warm. And the heat can mess up the motherboard inside of the projector, and make the bulb pop. Does that sound like a quality projector. So my advice to you would be to make sure you have some kind of warranty for the duration that you own this projector. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's true. My other suggestion is that you go with another projector and save yourself the money. When it's working it's absolutely great, when it's not it's hell....
This review is from: Sharp Notevision Xr-10x Home Theater DLP PojectorSpectacular image quality; low noise. Still on original bulb.Note that high image quality and high resolution are not the same thing...this is a 1024 X 768 projector, not a HD projector.It can, however, take inputs of up to 1080i (via a special component-to-VGA cable, included). 720p and 1080i inputs are downgraded to the native 1024 X 768.The colors are natural; the image is lifelike and breathtaking. I saw none of the dreaded "rainbow" or "screen door" effects.I project the image onto a wall. The image holds up quite well in a room lit well enough to read in. The remote seems to be radio controlled - you do not have to point it directly at the projector. All in all, I would rate it the best projector for the money.I tried out several projectors before deciding on this one. I am very glad I did....
This review is from: Sharp Notevision Xr-10x Home Theater DLP PojectorI bought this projector many years ago (maybe 4) and it's still going on the original bulb. I haven't looked at the odometer but I think it's around 800 hours, maybe 1000. Frankly I'm surprised that it's run this long, and it has been fantastic the entire time. It's mounted upside down on the ceiling. I think about upgrading it to an HD projector, but get to that "If it ain't broke don't fix it" thing every time. HD over component is very nice coming from my Playstation. I used to hook it up to a PC but now I just watch everything with the PS3 - Blu-ray and games. I run it in eco mode all the time because it's quieter that way, and I suspect it will squeeze more out of the bulb that way. It's still really, really bright in eco mode - regular would actually be too bright in a completely darkened room. I never run it longer than 3 -4 hours at a time, and I always let it do it's cooldown properly, and try to avoid letting the room heat up too much. Also, if you get any projector, it may help to not turn it off and on and back off and back on etc. Expansion and contraction are perhaps more damaging that heat itself. It makes noise, but it's just below my annoyance threshold. In fact it is about the same volume as my old PS3 Classic was. I swapped my Classic for a Slim and the room is noticeably quieter....
