Optoma Themescene HD200x review

Gallery

Verdict:

Rich colour and a phenomenally low price makes this 1080p projector a great deal, if you can cope with the DLP rainbow effect.

Not a bad review but the lamp price works out a 7p & 5p an hour not per minute as stated.

By kbfern on 12 Feb 2010

Something doesn't add up...

I’m a bit confused how the reviewer came to the running costs being 7p per minute in normal mode, being as the bulb costs £216 and last for 3000 hours. That would be £8.40 to watch a 120 minute movie – which seems very expensive!

Surely £216 divided by 3000 hours, then further by 60 into minutes = roughly 1p per minute?
