2,000 hours stated life for these bulbs.
I'm at about 1,800 hours and I notice the screen will get darker for a
moment and then get bright again. I'm having other issues with my comcast
DVR hd cable box. I'm trying to tell if its the bulb ageing of the cable
box?

What happens when I reach 2000 hours?

TIA

Steve

I just watched _The Illusionist_ for the first time and thought my projector
lamp was about to go. It turned out that some of the opening scenes are
supposed to flicker. Reminded me of Andy Kaufman's loss of vertical sync
gag.

Same thing here. It made me think that perhaps a "do not adjust your set"
warning, ala 'The Outer Limits', should be included in the opening credits
:-)

No this dimming is not part of the broadcast.
In the middle of law and order the scene will get very dark for a moment and
then lighten up again.
This just started a few weeks ago.

This is why I detest top-posting. There is no clear indication, without
scrolling up and down and picking through the posts, just what the heck you
are replying about or to whom.
