If you are looking for high quality you are better off going for the real thing which includes those high price bulbs There are a few things I did to make mine a bit better than when I first got it. I replaced the 35w 12v MR16 bulb with a 50w 12v MR16 Color Correct bulb that I bought at Wal-Mart for 7.00. It doesn't seem to get any warmer that it did before but I don't think I would attempt to go to any higher wattage. Replacing the bulb gave me a better picture and color. Also what you watch it ON will make a BIG difference in the picture quality. The reflective qualities of your background will effect the picture quality of any projector. A white wall will still give you a bit of blurr. I tried several backgrounds before I found what worked well for me. I tried a white wall, a white bed sheet, a cheap, smooth, white shower curtain but what I finally settled on was an old style room darkening pull down shade, again from Wal-mart. This was a bit more money ($30.00) but really worth it. I was a little worried about trying this at first because in the store the white shade looked gray, but it works perfectly! From 10 feet away the picture fits edge to edge on a 73 1/4" shade. It also has the added convenience of rolling up out of the way when not in use. Now if I can just figure out how they are adding surround sound to these, I will be set. :-).. Although the built-in speakers work quite well.
