I hope you went with the Sanyo. The Optoma will give you a nice picture but the Sanyo is a better unit and clear step up.

If money is tight I would look into cost of replacement lamps. Projectors are a lot like printers with ink. You can almost buy a new one for the cost of the lamp. Average cost of a replacement lamp is $400.00.


Good luck. look at the evo on lumenlabs website.

Default Toshiba is not the best.

Toshiba is not the best and they're not popular either. Click here and see for yourself.
