If I had known how short lived the OLED on this pen is I never would have bought it. It sat in a drawer for months while I was in stroke recovery, and now won't turn on even though it has less than 50 hours of use on it.

works as described but unable to read the OLED display in daylight.  The display is very dim as compared to the X50 which has a LED display.  Based on  numerous web reviews, it appears the X70 model has a OLED display and as a result it appears as less than 50% of the brightness of the older LED models.  I am considering returning this model as for me it is not usable during the day with sun coming thru the car windows

So I got this to watch sports on my older flat panel at the beginning of '09.  I can say I've logged no more than 40 hours on this box and it pooped out on me last month.  Not sure why but it no longer powers up, and I no longer get TV.  maybe i just didn't use it enough...what ever it is, it no longer works and for the price, I expected much longer service.

I bought two lamps to save on the shipping and one of the lamps lasted only 6 days before it shattered inside the TV.  SIX DAYS.  I've had my JVC DLP TV for over 9 years and this bulb set the record for the shortest life.  That is pathetic. The best lamp I had was the original which lasted 4+ years, but the average is around 6-12 months.  But 6 days?  Come on!!  I just printed the return shipping label and will ship it back tomorrow.  Maybe it's a good thing it burned out so soon because if it had lasted 31 days, it would be too late to qualify for a refund.  I guess I should read the "fine print" next time and look for a limited warranty on these things.

This unit was great (for the price) at first. Installed it into a car that I only drive on nice days so in the few months its been installed, Ive probably driven the car a total of 6-7 hours. That being said, the top half of the screen is now unreadable. Just an FYI, the USB does not work as input for your phone/mp3 player etc. you will still need to use the aux cord. Not a big deal, just a heads up.

I had the driver for less than a month. The VGA no longer works. Dead in the water with it. HDMI still works, if only my monitor had one of those...

I loved my third generation HDX 8.9 tablet for as long as it lasted.  Unfortunately, that wasn't long.  My first one died after 8 months; Amazon customer service helpfully and quickly replaced it.  But now, just a little under a year later, my second one has died.  If you are prepared for a short life, I would recommend.  However, since I have had two of these in under two years, I can't say much for the reliability and I will be looking elsewhere for a replacement.

Brighter than the stock OEM incandescent bulbs.  What I really like is how they have a much shorter ramp up to full brightness compared to the OEM bulbs.  They really pop on!  Plus, I will probably never have to change them for the life of the car, fingers crossed.  I am running an electronic flasher relay so no need for inefficient and heat producing resistors.

UPDATE: One of the bulbs died after 9  months.  Paid to ship it back and get a new one.  Just before the 12 month mark the other one died.  Seems to be the tolerances on the black plastic base.  The bulb looses contact and stops working.  Tap it and it lights up only to die seconds later.  Tried a couple things to make it work but ended up going back to incandescent bulbs.  Really not impressed, for the price and the hype about LED life they both died in less than 12 months.  Would have cost me as much in shipping for 2 warranty replacements as it did to buy them new.

Purchased this December 2011 and last night (6/29/13) it just died on me. Temperature of the house was around 86 degrees (it's considered "hot" around here) and the projector has been on for at least 4+ hours nonstop (i.e. it gets very hot with the 3200 lumens on it). Everything seemed just fine when I heard a very loud pop/crackle/snap sound from the projector, the screen went dark, and the projector emits a foreboding red glow from within (I kid you not).

Loved the projector all the way up until this point - bright enough to play video games/watch movies/Netflix with lights on and daylight coming in through the windows, fast boot, and auto-turn-off-timeout. Would have given it at least a 4 star if not 5 had it not died on me last night.

With the cost of replacement bulbs running from $230-300+ at this time, I think I might as well buy a new projector, so I guess I'm done with this one.

I bought one of these three years ago (2012) and we have used it for our primary TV/video viewing since then.  However, about a week ago, the Blue LED appears to have failed.  In three years, I would estimate we've used it for 2500-3000 hours, so this is less than 10% of the advertised lifetime.  Since it was after the end of the two-year warranty, LG would not do anything about it.  I pointed out to them that even if a person turned on the unit when they got home and ran it continuously for the two-year warranty period, it would only be about 17,000 hours, so they would have no way of getting close to the 30,000 hour lifetime claimed by LG within the warranty period.

So, buyers beware!  The LED lifetime is not 30,000 hours, but more like 3,000 hours!  That is about what I used to get from my other projector that used a conventional bulb!  I haven't seen anything that shows where they came up with the 30,000 hour number, and they certainly don't support their products like they expect them to last that long!

The photo below shows my computer screen on top, and the projected image below.  Beware, this could be what you are looking at after a couple of years!

I only got a week or two out of this light before the switch became intermittent.
It lives in my pants pocket at work, so its not like it's had a hard life.
Now, to get it to work, I have to tap it on something.

Nice bulb, great features, but it didn't last that long.  For a bulb that goes on once in a while I expected it to last several years, but this didn't make it 2 years...probably less than a 250 running hours

Mine died with "Err" on the display after about 14 months.  The instruction manual (if you can call it that) says that this code means, "Unit malfunction, replace".  Hardly worth it, honestly.

The video port on these like to fail after about 8 months of gentle use. The tv part I don't use too often but when I have used it, it works well in the Seattle area. The battery life is only about an hour and 15 minutes. Nothing special

We purchased this DLP TV for $1200 back in March 2007.
We absolutely loved this TV, the only downside possibly is the poor sound quality (easily fixed with surround sound) and also now the price I suppose being that TV prices have dropped so much.

However, two weeks ago a pixel-type dot appeared on the screen, white in color. Not actually a pixel of course because DLP is based on tiny mirrors and the image is projected onto the screen from about 12-inches behind the screen. The dot eventually turned black. No big deal, as it was the size of a pinhead admidst a 56-inch screen.

However, over the course of the next two weeks more dots appeared, as if the TV contracted chickenpox. There are now over 100 of these dots, some white and flashing and some dead and black, and they are continuing to develop, virtually rendering the television unusable at this point.

Of course, after the 1 year expiration there is no warranty back-up from Samsung.
I called them and they said a technition would call me to set up an inspection, but this was over a week ago now and I have not received a call. Also, I know it would cost $50-100 just for an inspection, and then to repair the TV I assume will cost me hundreds of dollars. Not worth it.

Sad that a $1200 TV has only a 3-yr lifespan.
No more DLP for me, and will probably now be conned into purchasing extended warrenties on future TVs.

Although disappointed I will make the most out of my new TV-shaped gigantic paperweight.

We have used two of these.  The original bulb lasted about 3 years, these last maybe a year or so.  At $35-40 per, I can live with that, and I always keep a spare handy for when they go.  But after several months, they start to fluctuate in the amount of light that goes to the screen.  Bright/dim, bright/dim, every few seconds.  Noticeable, and annoying, and often an indicator that the bulb will soon die.  Maybe the bulb isn't the problem but just a symptom, I don't know.  DLP TVs don't have many moving parts.

Easy to install/replace - 5 minutes and we're good to go.

I've had this since mid-September and it no longer charges, I believe the charger port is loose :(  What's frustrating is just how short the cord is for this device, and the placement of it really isn't the most friendly place. It said that the battery life lasts somewhere between 12-14hrs, however the maximum life I got out of it since the beginning was the average 4-5hrs...very disappointing as this device is designed for people on-the-go. If they want to be really innovative they should make the keyboard and back panel solar powered...and give it more performance power. I expect this day in age to be able to run five different programs, surf ten different webpages, and host a gallery of apps in the background while I multitask. Sadly, I'll be shipping this little guy back to the makers to get fixed and hopefully the do me good and refund me even though Amazon's policy won't.
