I just ordered a refurbished BenQ W5000 directly from BenQ(with the latest fw upgrade-v2.01) for $1387.00 shipped! And it's a pretty highly rated 1080 pj, for those who don't know. I'm not sure how you guys feel about refurbs, but this is the lowest price i've seen for a highly rated 1080p since they've been released. If you're interested, i talked to the woman at BenQ and she said they only had 10 units left, so you better hurry!

Muzz, i just received mine today. Wow, the size of this thing! I never expected it to be so big. I can't wait to get this thing mounted, but i have to finish the HT room, first. I need to paint the walls/ceiling and then paint my BW screen. Then i still have to install the carpet and move the furniture in. It's going to kill me to have to wait!

Oh, for anyone interested in the Benq deal...they won't ship out until early March, just to let you know.

Thanks! I did hook it up and power it on, but i didn't connect any video source to it. Everything seems good, except it says it has 200 hrs on the bulb. I would've thought that they would've replaced it with a brand new bulb, since it was factory refurbished. What's the normal practice?
