All projectors have bulbs with finite life, usually 3000 to 5000 operating hours. They can be replaced easily (by the user), but cost about $120 to $300. You can inquire as to bulb life and replacement cost before you buy a set. The specified lifetime is longer than the useful life since the bulbs dim slowly; when you decide to replace it depends on how bright you need the picture to be.

No it's not true, they're good for much longer than that, but after 3 years they won't be as bright as they once were. Most people can't even notice the difference.

No, DLP had some problems with life early on but they were fixed.

Heard the same thing! My g/f bought one with this warning so we only run it while we're watching it. :-)=
