Great Picture, Short Bulb LifeStrengths: Great Picture Weakness: Short Bulb Life Ran flawlessly for two years, very nice picture, minimal 'rainbow effect'. Bulb died at around 500 hours (only used it for a movie or two each weekend). This is not even close to the supposed average bulb life. (sigh) At $350 for a new bulb, I'll live without one for a while 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Don\\\'t believe lamp hour life statments from...Strengths: Great picture while it lasted Weakness: less than 270 hour life, ceiling mounted as directed by manufacturer. Not .09 cents per hour cost. more like $1.10 per hour. Or $600.00 per year for bulbs. I finally got an honest answer about lamp life from a major factory service tech. 94% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Get the warranty..Strengths: Good Picture, Low Coast Weakness: Fails Alot, Gets Very Hot, Loud Fans, Major Dust Build Ups I've had this unit for two years now. I love the unit! It has a great picture, handles computer, 360, and dvds without a problem and with great results. However, the units color wheel exploded about 1 year in. Manufacturer took 3 weeks to tell me they didnt have the parts and sent a refurb. Another year later, the unit goes out again. This time assuming its the lamp. Final verdict: Get the warranty! Purchased from Circuit City and their warranty INCLUDES replacement lamps at NO CHARGE (outside the coast of the warranty, which is less than the price of a lamp). 10business days and we'll see if its the lamp or not.. 75% of readers found this review helpful.

Great Projector, Terrible Bulb Life and ValueStrengths: excellent low-end projector, lamp assembly on the low-to-mid price range, good support from in-focus Weakness: lamp assembly lasted 115 hours over just 95 days before partially rupturing (leaving fixed distortion on screen) I have had this projector for almost 2 years and my first lamp assembly lasted me for 20 months with average use (less than 1000 hours on first lamp assembly). Provantage has the BEST price on this lamp assembly, but the one I just bought only lasted 115 hours. Instead of buying another lamp assembly for my InFocus 4805, I bought the InFocus IN72 for not much more and it is beautiful. Now I got this extra 4805 just lying around...

Dead after 9 monthsStrengths: Great while it lasted Weakness: Early failure When we got the projector, it worked great. We used it occasionally for 9 months, then it failed. The replacement bulb is almost as expensive as a new projector. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? TopCompare PricesAdvertisement

Replacement lamp for Infocus Screenplay 4805
Strengths: brightness, contrast ratio, overall cost
Weakness: noise, dust buildup, bulb cost
Overall a wonderful projector for the money. Inputs for DVD, Computer, gamebox, VCR, all at once for no hassle input changes. The picture fills the entire wall of our living room, needed a 10 FOOT wide screen to display the picture. Need to dim lights or use in the dark as the lumens can't compete with full lighting. Cooling fan always runs, even in 'stby' mode, so need to turn the unit switch off if you don't want to hear it all the time. The bulb cartridge collects dust, you can hear it when the fan gets dirty, it must be removed every few months and blown out with an air can. Haven't had to replace a bulb YET, but researching the cost has me concerned. The price ranges from just under 300 to over 400 dollars. Shop around.
