Worth replacing bulb in Epson hd141x?


As title says. It would coat about €150. Nearing 10k hours and it may blow soon if not mistaken. Hqd a warning at 5k hour mark.

Is it worth 'upgrading' with new color wheel+ lamp? (I have done color wheel once already)

Or is there something for around €300-400 mark better to get? With brighter output perhaps?

Correcting the title, its Optoma not Epson....

Over a decade ago I had a 65" DLP which blew bulbs about once a year. Fortunately, I did get the extended warranty, and the same tech came for like 3 years during which I learned how to DIY. I found a company on line who sold all kinds of OEM bulbs as well as off brands. The off brand worked just a well and was way less expensive. Do a search. I don't recall the company name
