What you’ll regret
No single component dominates
~1 in 2 long-term reports mention a hardware failure, typically within 1–14 months of ownership. DMD chip and projection unit failures are the most commonly cited components. Warranty outcomes lean unresolved — 8 unresolved cases versus 6 resolved — so failures often land outside or beyond warranty relief.
Typically reported months 1–13 · 18 long-term owners
No recurring failure pattern measured — but too few long-term owners to call that reassuring.
These are the share of long-term owner reports that mention a failure, not the share of units that fail — owners with working units mostly don’t post.
exceptional image quality and brightness matter more to you than long-term reliability.
brightness in a well-lit room and strong value for money, with contrast taking a back seat.
