Acer H5370BD - completed an year

[Premblr]

Hi Folks,

Just a quick note about completing an year with the super value Acer H5370BD projector. I have clocked 608 hours as of now, that is approximately an average of 2 hours per day.

This was one of the best purchases have made and it has given me immense joyous hours. It has worked effortlessly and flawlessly and I am sure it will serve me for for some more years. Godspeed!

Twice, I had this flicker issue where the picture flickered and went to a gray and white mode, I switched off and rebooted and it worked fine again. Don't know what may be the cause, this happened only twice during the entire year.

A one year update will help people sitting on the fence about the build quality.

That's all for now,
Prem

Well Prem - congratulations and also thanks for reminding me to pop a champagne for my own PJ completing a full year...it has been a real happy year of ownership and I thank all of you for making at an ever growing club.

While work has been keeping me off HFV for some time - I do drop in to view the H5370 impressions thread and whoa sooner than later it will be a thread with 1000 posts! You all have turned a simple review into an information warehouse on the projector!

Wishing all of us many more happy returns of the day and long years of successful ownership of this beauty!

Thanks Anand, you were the first one to buy, you inspired so many with your initial review. Thank you and wishing you many many more hours.

Think time now for us to start a thread that talks about maintenance tips for this beauty! If there are any tips readily available - lets start flowing them in.

Congratulations Anand and Prem - You guys inspired me to buy my PJ and it is running great. Absolutely zero maintenance required so far.

Did you try or change the settings. I tried some settings like Brightness 46, Contrast 54 and Sharpness 10 in the user mode with all the enhancement features off. It definitely improved the quality but I am not very sure that this is the optimum setting.

If you don't mind please share your settings. My apologies if I missed this information in any of the earlier threads but this question seems more relevant now.

R, Vinay

It is mentioned that when the PJ reaches 1000 hours, you will have to clean the filter. Have anybody did this for this or any other projector?
