I just returned a new W1200 for a refund. I really loved the pj but had a few issues with it the first week and a half. At start up on 3 occasions, I had blue vertical bands running through the whole pic. When this would happen the remote would not work??? I would have to reboot and all would be well. I also had lip sinc problems on some , not all, hi/def channels. I wrote 3 emails for tech help and have not heard a word in 2 weeks. I would love to get another 1200 but am a bit scared. Do you think it was just a lemon? Should I perhaps go with an other make? I really like the DLP pop but not to familiar with LCD......Thanks for your help...

I agree that it should cool longer however it seems cool after that short blast??? Unplug unit because the manual tells you to when cool down is complete. I did that for 7 years with my BenQ 6200 as per Manual but 6200 fan ran for 90 seconds. Still waiting for reply from BenQ....
