Thanks for the feedback the trip setup is not on for me, just no way I have that sort of cash and simplicity is important (the sim set up is complex enough with wires everywhere) I understand it would be an awesome set up but I have my limitations. I did hook up my Pany AU900 and 100% improvement over the NEC. Very sharp no visible screen door. Problem is the throw at the min zoom I cover 60% of the screen if I can get this sort of sharpness (which I assume is due to the higher resolution of the pany) I will be very happy. So my next move is a 720/1080I/P 16:9-10 with the shortest throw available. Any suggestions apart from the $30k type I am looking at a budget of not more than $2k a $699 cheap PJ would be great. Which model offers the shortest throw and a resolution of not less than 720p? I tried the PJ finder all short throw are 1280x800 (WXGA)same as the NEC 500WS. The best match I came up with was the Optoma HD65. Thanks for any advise.

The bulb on my Optoma hd65 burned out. Bought a new one, replaced it, but new bulb wont light up. I've read on forums that the bulb timer needs to be replaced, but i cant access that menu since bulb wont turn on. I've also read that there is a way to reset timer by using the buttons on the projector itself... Anybody know how to do this?
