I am upgrading from a 1080p TW6600 and these are the 2 projectors that I am eyeing. Which one of these(or any other choice) would you recommend?
- Usage is about 3-4 hours a day. Typically 1000-1200 hrs a year.
- This will be used in a light-controlled room being projected on a light gray wall with a projection size of 160'' from a viewing distance of about 11 ft.
- My 6600 has lasted me 6.5 yrs with 1 bulb change. So the benefits of never having to replace the lamp feel overstated to me. For my usage, it is unlikely that I would have to replace the lamp more than once before I look for the next upgrade.
- I have read that 9400 got a firmware update that increased the pixel shifting to 3 times to move the pixel count to 6M instead of 4M. Is this verified and correct? Also at a screen size of 160" at a viewing distance would 4M or 6M vs 8M of 12000b make a perceivable difference?
- Epson 9400 is 3 yrs old and Epson is moving to laser projectors now. Will the availability and pricing of the replacement lamp be affected when I would need to replace it 4 yrs from now?
- Any other reason why it will be worth spending the extra money on the 12000b over a 9400?
