My ViewSonic Projector bulb dead! Any better deals ?

[edjamesx]

Hi All,
I am using Viewsonic Pro 8200 Full HD projector . I was using it for more than eight years , and was working good. Now suddenly my projector bulb is dead which is expected after this long period.
I was enquiring the bulb cost from Vewsonic official service center. They are quoting very expensive (almost 40% cost of new projector). 24k +.

Anywhere else can I get better deal ?.

Also please suggest is it better to go for new projector ,since bulb cost is expensive Or i can try replacing the bulb once.

Warranty for new bulb is only 3 months.

Thanks

My Vote for a new projector. I am sure there have been advances made in technology.
