No problems after nearly a year.
I find the previous review strange, because it was the same sort of lamp-replacement runaround from Infocus that prompted me to switch brands from Infocus to Sony nearly a year ago. I guess I must assume that similar problems affect several, possibly even most brands.
Note that this unit has a "high altitude" setting. I'm at around 5000ft and I did enable that option during initial set up. It causes the fans to run at a slightly higher speed for more effective cooling at altitude, r...

Horrible Support - Do not buy.
I have to say the same thing as the last review. I purchased the Sony projector 4 months ago. The bulb is only under warantee for 3 months. The first CS person told me it was covered and to take it in to a depot. Then I was told it wasn't covered by the depot but that I could purchase it for $450 plus the labour of $150 to install a bulb that can't take them more then 5 minutes.
I have gone back and forth with Sony support for 4 weeks. And they are now saying they'll give me a discou...

Sony VPL-HS51 Video Projector Not Worth the Money
I purchased this product about 7 weeks ago at a price of about $3700.00 with tax. You would think that at this price the product would be reliable the company eager to assist. I had a problem with the Lamp (which costs $300 every time it burns out) failing. When I called the warranty dept at Sony they stated it would take approximately one week to get the lamp in because they were out of stock (telling me that there is a problem with this item). Since that time I have had nothing but a run-a...

Amazing TV, trick to help maintain it
We received this TV as a wedding gift for use in our 1 bedroom. After buying the screen (which takes up one whole wall) and a great sound system, we have the PERFECT home theater system for a young couple who entertains and enjoys movies. The picture quality is unbelievable (especially with HDMI)...to the point where we don't feel that impressed when we go to the theater to see movies. The TV easily adjusts to light differences and doesn't require total darkness to look fabulous: a sunny aft...

Best Video Projector Under 10k
The VPL-HS51 is the best video projector on the market for less than 10k. Far better than any DLP projector, since their is NO rainbow effect and once you see the DLP rainbow you will see this in every show.
Back to the HS51, I bought mine from Amazon one year ago and have 1,000 hours on the unit. NO problems, period. I do suggest running the projector in the LOW brightness setting since this will extend the bulb life. Also suggest using a PC UPS so if the power goes off, you can turn of...

Excellent projector for the money
The reviewers who gave this projector one star clearly had support issues but from a technical perspective this is an excellent buy for the money. I have owned mine for over 2 years and changed the filter only once. The bulb is still going strong (1000+ hours). I've not had to deal with Sony support yet, and hope not to based on some of the reviews, but notwithstanding that issue I'd most certainly recommend this device.
Don't be put off because it isn't DLP...you won't care after see...
