A newbie seeking advise on a projector

I should clarify Prpixels comment on my bulb, it does have 450hrs on it but still works, it is arching though and gets a high/low variance in light output that at times gets obvious and distracting but it still outputs very good light. Some notice and some dont but it bothers me as I spent my working like in Printing so am pretty sensitive to color and critical of image.
Glad we all seem to have helped, projectors are all in all awesome choices for a great viewing experience.
