[QUOTE=Trumpeter|Jan 30, 2007 1:31:14 AM] We are in the process of replacing our two auditorium projectors. They are Panasonic DP 6500's with long throw lenses. Our distance is 54 ft. and screen size is 10 x 12. We are looking at the panasonic 5600 which is DLP and the Epson 8300 (perhaps the 7900) and the Hitachi CP-x1250. Both of which are LCD. Is there any advantage with LCD over DLP and can they both work with long throw lenses? [/QUOTE] It is always a good idea to check for the cost and life-span of the replacement lamp before buying a projector, if not you'll get a shocker during time of replacing. website like bulbtogo.com sell replacement lamp that comes with-out the housing, bare lamp which is a lot cheaper. hppt://www.bulbtogo.com
