We purchased the SHARP XR-20S DLP Projector TV. The bulb fails early on even with using a ventilated shelf in a climate controlled air purified room. The Projector was $1000. which is fine for the enjoyment it creates, but the after market cost of the bulb for continued use makes it a rip off.

I HAVE HAD THE SHRP XR20X PROJECTOR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, I HAVE RUN IT ONLY IN ECONOMY LOW LAMP MODE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE LAMP LAST LONGER. WELL AFTER 9 MONTHS OF LITE USE THE LAMP HAD 80% OF IT'S LIFE LEFT THAN IT DIED, "DEAD DEAD DEAD" MAN I AM PSST OFF $400.00 BUCKS IM OUT. THAT LAMP SHOULD HAVE A FIVE YEAR WARRANTY. I KEPT THE PROJECTOR CLEAN BUT BEWARE SHARP DID NOT PROVIDE ANY AIR FILTRATION FOR THIS PROJECTOR OR LAMP, AND IT PRODUCES A LOT OF HEAT AND THERE IS NO USER ACCESS TO PREVENT DUST BUILD UP, MY PROJECTOR HAD A MODERATE AMOUNT OF DUST ON THE FAN BLADES AND INNER DUCTING BUT ANY DUST IS ALSO PUMPED RIGHT TO THIS LITTLE 3/4" SQUARE SCREEN ON THE LAMP SO WITH NO FILTRATION OR USER EASY ACCESS THIS UNIT IS SURE TO FAIL WAY BEFORE IT'S USEFULL LIFE SPAN. THE PROJECTOR WAS A THOUSAND DOLLAR'S AND THE NEW LAMP WILL COST $300-400 BUCK'S SHARP SHOULD PAY ME OR AT LEAST TAKE THAT BONUS AWAY FROM THEIR ENGINEER'S NOT HAPPY WITH SHARP P LUEPKE
