Behold! The 60,000 hour LED projector.

So LED projectors have officially hit the market. While still quite expensive, we know that prices will fall in the coming years.

The lamps are being touted as lasting 60,000 hours or more. As it says in the article, that's 8 hours a day for 20 years. In other words, no more replacement bulbs, ever! Can't wait for them to drop to consumer levels.

That is good news. Here is another possible option (laser):

5,000 lumens AND scalable! This would work well for 3-D.

Oh, Damn...at first I wasn't putting 2+2 together. I was thinking "yea, but what about the quality". Then I read the article, it is a DLP! WOOT! Now that doesn't automatically mean it will be great, but can't wait to see one or some reviews!!

Re: Behold! The 60,000 hour LED projector.

I'd definitely be interested to see if the multicolor LED has any tech-derived artifacts. In the lower price ranges, single-chip DLP is painful and 3-panel LCD can easily be misaligned. This is definitely the future I've been wanting to see.

Re: Behold! The 60,000 hour LED projector.

while i wait for the price to go down, it would be nice if someone made a *compatible* LED lamp for the trusty old sony sxrd

replacing uhp lamps suck and melting optical blocks is not cool
