New Lamp or New Projector

Have you ever find yourself caught in a dilemma between buying a new lamp to replace the dimming projector and changing a new projector?

It is not uncommon for users to encounter such a problem, as the projector they bought 3-5 years ago is likely to have been phased out and replaced with better and cheaper models. Since even the lower tier brightness projector lamps cost around $400-$500, it is difficult to choose between the two.

The followings are a summary of points to help you consider if buying the lamp or the new projector is more cost effective:
