Hi,
I have a NEC 9PG Plus I purchase a little more then a year ago. I was planning on building my HT then, but money went into other home remodeling and my HT project was put on hold. The projector has 6900 hours on it. I will probably have someone install and set it up for me, but I need to know if it would be best to have it re-tubed now before it is installed? I was told that it is recommended replacing the crts at about 8000 hours, but do they actually get a lot more hours then this with good care? I have no idea of what kind of PQ it currently gets and if it suffers from any decrease in contrast loss, which I heard happens as crts get a lot of hours on them. Once they install it, does it need to be taken back down to re-tube it? And if they can re-tube it without taking it down, does it then need a complete recalibration?
Thanks for any help you can provide me
