I am close to buying a 13HD from Studio Experience, but I cannot find any reliable information about the actual longevity of the lamp. SE's claim of 2000 hours doesn't mean much if their projectors haven't been in use long enough for anyone to confirm that lifespan. I definitely cannot afford to replace $450 lamps every 450 hours (as some Infocus owners have apparently had to do). Please reply if your PLV-60/13HD has a LOT of hours and you have had no lamp problems.


Thanks to all.

I have aver 450 hours w/ no problems so far. BigRalf on TBP forum has hit 1000 and still going. A "replace lamp" message appeared on the screen at 1K hours.

I believe I saw a posting on thebigpicturedvd where a Sanyo owner reported that the power on nag message appeared after 1000 hours. Bulb life may be longer with the 13HD.
