Can you unplug the projector immediately after using it or is there a cool down period?

Yes you can unplug the projector there is no need to cool down. This is a great feature.

I'm using this projector in a permanent mount, so it's never unplugged. But, I do know that when it is turned off, it shuts down completely without delay. There is no indication of a cooling down process after it is shutoff.

You can unplug the projector immediately, although I finish up with other things and give it a bit to cool down, but that's probably for me and not the projector.

I have not experienced this problem. I turn the projector off with the switch in back. I then turn it on when I want to use it again but turning the switch in back to "on" then I push the tab on the front left side of the projector until I see the blue light and it comes on within seconds, not minutes.

I used it to connect my computer to an LCD monitor and a projector with an hdmi port so I don't see why you would have a problem. The only thing that is annoying is i have to remember to power up the projector first thing in the morning and once it is warmed up i can power it off. I do that because the first time I use the projector the monitor blanks out for a while... this also occurs when the monitors go to sleep.

Yes there is a switch to turn it off,but I also unplug it just to be on the safe side.

I am pretty sure the lights turn off automatically after 30 minutes, but turn back on if baby makes a sound. I think you can turn the night light at the base of the projector to stay on all night.

There are a few potential problems here. Check and make sure your HDMI chord works with other devices. I had a problem with my HDMI plugin after a power surge. The projector was not surge protected. I replaced my Optoma HD20 with this model. I understand that you can take this to an electronics store and have them fixed the HDMI port. This is really the only option other than replacing the whole unit.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But if you turn it off it will save your spot in a movie. Even if you take it out and put the same one back in.

Keep a spare set in you range bag. If you forget to turn off the switch, the unit goes off automatically in 4 hours.

I just leave mine plugged into the cord on my projector and then plug it into my laptop when I need to use the projector and I've had no problems so far.

This projector for some reason will shut down without notice every once in a while. I just unplug it for a minute and restart it. Haven't seen any other problems. I love it, though it is a poor substitute for a television. Too many wires everywhere, and a little fan noise.

Change your setup, as suggested by others. Ours has never turned off unexpectedly, and we've sat through many many hours of movies using it.

Every type of projector come with instructions on how much hours it will last. I have used my nightly for about 2-3hrs for a given period of three months and have not had a single problem even unto this day. But I do suggest also that when using place it on a surge protector. I don't know how current fluctuate by you but it is a safe bet, than any rise or fall in electricity you can protect your investment. Hope this helps

I imagine that a simple timer like you use for lamps could be used. That way you could plug the timer into an outlet and the projector into the timer. Hope that helps.

You can only turn it off with the switch in the back off it, and sometimes that wont turn it off. You may even have to unplug it to turn it off. It has a faux shutoff button on screen but it only turns the video off to make the appearance that the system is off, but in actuality it only turns off the display to the TV.

If you are running it on gaming mode, it won't last an hour--even if you aren't actually gaming. It has gone 2 hours unplugged for me in balanced mode.

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

No.but you don't have to worry about that.the LED will far outlive the projector.at 20k hours, you can use it anywhere from 4 to 10 years.
