Projector Crossroads

So I’m at a decision point for my projector.

The blue is messed up on it.

It could be the blue polarizer, in which case it’s a $100 part.
It also could be the blue LCD panel, in which case the entire optical block needs replacing. A new optical block is prolly around $1000.

It would cost $100 to bring it to a shop to find out which thing is wrong.

On the other hand, a new DLP projector is around $900.

Do I bring my projector in for $100 and find out what’s wrong, or do I sell it for $100 (it still has some life in it), and buy a new one?

  1. hrmmm, i dunno. Seems like buying a new one would be the thing to do…seems like they probably upgrade those frequently like all other audio/visual/computer hardware eh?

  2. I would suppose it depends on how flush your wallet is feeling these days. 🙂

    Love J.
