from Dell Summary: While this projector claims quite a bit, it fails in the most important accounts. Firstly, Benq advertised this projector as having a superior 3x color wheel, elimatinating the rainbow effect of the other sub $1000 projectors. 6 months later, they admitted that the projector has only a 2x color wheel. They also claim 1500 lumens, when tests have shown that the projector rates about 800 lumens. It was cheap, I just expected them to live up to the claims. Lastly, the lamp only lived to 400 hours. Benq says lamp warranty is only 90 days and I should purchase another lamp ($400). So if (when) my new lamp only lasts another 400 hours, the entire unit surely be out of warranty. The 400 hour limit is widely claimed by other PB6200/PB6100 users Strengths: cheap Weaknesses: Rainbow effect, short lamp life, false claims, dim output, gets dust in the light path easily, terrible customer support. Similar Products Used: Infocus, Compaq and NEC
