If your existing PJ is not HD why spend $500 on a bulb? I have an old X1 with the original bulb. When it blows, HD PJ time. Not a thought about that at all.

Actually it is an HD projector (but 720p NOT 1080p) - oscar 10:41:25 05/06/10 (3)
Still 1080p should be a substantial improvement (everything else being equal).

  I consider not only the price of the bulb compared to a new HD PJ, but also the age of your existing PJ and chance of repairs.
  - Good point. but other than the bulb, I've never had any issues with the FP. - oscar 16:10:00 05/06/10 (1)
    It's given me plenty of years of decent service but it's bound to breakdown at some point (or maybe it'll keep on going just like my CRT).

      Keep'm until they die. Look a few posts down. My 35" Sony CRT just died last week. I still have a 26 year old 27" Hitachi and around the same vintage 27" RCA my wife brought in to the marriage. My PJ is an X1, so when the bulb dies, new PJ. When the CRT's die, LCD's or plasma TV's in their place. But in the meantime I have other things to spend money on.
