I've owned my projector for about a year and a half now, and its about time for a new blub. Any suggestions on where to find one?

I used this "BenQ MX518 bulb" phrase to search in the amazon search box. The bulbs are about 110-120 dollars and their were several places to chose from. I hope that helps.

Yeah!!.. Maybe space would be ok, you wanna spend money? buy this thing.. otherwise look for another projector (maybe a little more expensive, but operational)

If you're using this for a business purpose, I would recommend a projector with more lumens. This is a great projector for personal/entertainment use.

We really like the projector and it did in fact come with a 1 year warranty. I think you would ike it.

I really like my screen. Easy to mount easy to build. That projector is nice. I decided on the epson 5030 because it is LCD and not DLP. If you have DLP you will get a rainbow effect on fast action shots. Id also recommend this mount. It is the best out there hands down. No fiddling with screws and tightening your monitor into place. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TXNS6G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been in the same boat as I've been piecing together a modest HT system the past few months and was going to order a 55 this month until suddenly the price went up and then nobody had one to sell. It seems the 35 and 55 have both been discontinued. Meet the new Panasonic DMP-BD60, DMP-BD80 and DMP-BD70V: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=80049 No idea when they start shipping.

I did not have HD70. I researched HD70 and found this: "HD70 is no longer available, customers are now selecting HD65" I researched HD65. Result: HD65 is no longer available (?) So I think HD66 is the best option for you now. You can check http://www.projectorcentral.com/optoma_hd66_projector_review.htm

There are much better projectors out there for rooms with a lot of light. In fact, unless you want to consider your projector a disposable, I would suggest a different brand. BenQ's support is horrific. I paid several thousand dollars for a BenQ projector and BenQ could not repair it when it failed for the second time (no parts were available). I had to buy a brand new one. I have been pleased with Epson.

Order directly from Optoma. Do not use the variety cheap knock off kind. You will regret it. Most of these are bulb only and you must reuse your original housing. The Optoma replacement lamps are simple drop in and go. There model number is BL-FU185A for the lamp assembly. Here is a link and the price is not as severe as you might think. http://www.projectorlamps.com/optoma-projector-lamp-BL-FU185A.html?gclid=CJOCn-ys2LoCFa5r7AodUD0A3g

Oh ya. The epson is a fantastic projector. Have had mine for two years with over 5k hours and still works like new. Can't brag on it enough honestly.

We have the Epson 8100 projector and it worked perfect. Hooked up the PS4 the other day to it and the graphics were great! My teenage boys said they can not tell the difference from the original Epson bulb. Also installed the bulb within minutes.

Honestly I would pick another projector. It works very well...the only reason why I would say pick another one is because the room has to be very dark in order to see the image projected. Any light makes it hard to see the image. If projected in daylight, don't even bother with this one because you will never see the image.

I wouldnt recommend this projector. It came broken and missing cords and I sent it back and got another one still broken but with cords. Id recommend spending the extra money and getting one from best buy or somewhere like that.
