Brighter projectors tend not to have long lamp life, and this is what barred normal consumers from wanting to buy these machines. It wasn’t until manufacturers like BENQ came out with projectors like the DX660, that brightness became inexpensive.
The BENQ DX660 has a lamp life of 2000 hours, and this is quite amazing considering its brightness. It employs a 210W projector lamp, combined with an ultra efficient cooling system. The cooling system is what allows this lamp to last as long as it does.
The BENQ DX660 is a DLP projector, but unless you are ultra-sensitive, you most likely will not see any rainbows Dorothy. Resolution is pretty efficient at 1024×768 native, and a compression ability of up to 1280×1024p. This unbelievably wonderful resolution is coupled with HDTV at 1080i making viewing a pleasure, especially if you spend a little extra for those HD Sports channels.
