As long as you aren't watching both a 1080p Kuro and a 720p FP.

The Kuro is getting more "watching time" than the huge-ass projector screen lately. It does not help when the FP bulb is starting to "fade" ($$$$); I may have to take "corrective action" soon....

I owned the same FP model as yours�. - kootenay 20:41:43 06/02/09 (3)
How many hours do you have on yours? Mine is cornering at 1200 hours and it�s still going strong. Sharp claimed that the bulb will last at least 2000 hours, I hope that I will get the chance to see it.

- I've already replaced two (2) bulbs. - oscar 06:37:28 06/03/09 (2)
  The first failed at less than a 1000 hours (no guarantees), the 2nd started to dim at about 1900 hrs so I went ahead and replaced it; It may still have some "life" as an emergency replacement. I'm at 1700 hours on the third bulb so another decision point is coming soon (new bulb or new FP?).
  
  I think the Sharp automatically cuts out at 2000 hrs; you still have to reset the timer if your bulb hits the 2000 hr mark.
  
  I'm milking the life out of the FP, it's just getting harder to hold off getting a new one. This FP looks so dim (even with light control) in comparison after watching sessions with the Kuro.

    I saw the same thing after watching the movie in the FP and then watch my plasma upstairs for some sports updates. Definitely, the plasma is brighter in comparison, but what do you expect the Sharp FP only puts out 1200 ANSI Lumens on a high contrast setting. Like you I�ve been thinking the same way of replacing the Sharp, as the matter of fact I�ve auditioned a brand new 1080p FP made by JVC and you know what, the difference between the Sharp and the new JVC wasn�t very much regarding the resolution, although the JVC was brighter overall. I will keep watching it until it dies and then I will have some hard decision to do.

    - I might already have had the JVC if it wasn't for the "Kuro extinction phenomena" - oscar 08:09:39 06/03/09 (0)
      maybe when I've accumulated cash-in-hand for the FP, I'll spring for one. Gotta get a SOTA Blu-ray player as well.
