The bulb as it turns out was possibly OEM anyways despite my thinking it was an official Mitubishi one, certainly cannot have any complaints about the projector itself it served us very well for a year or so despite being 7 years old now, no harm done, the new projector arrived today and it's awesome, only issue is there's so many visual and colour settings I need to get my head around how to set it up for the best colour performance
Been very happy with the Benq W1060 since we got it last year, then in the last couple of days it started flickering in the bottom right on economy mode, really annoying, bulb's only at 3,000 hours or so, if I change the bulb mode to normal the flickering seems to go away, but obviously it's no solution as it decreases lamp life and increases electricity use.
I googled and apparently Benq projectors are quite known to have flickering problems on economy but that's usually from straight out the box not to suddenly appear after 11 months.
Yeah that's what we ended up doing, downloaded a couple of calibration discs and they helped a lot
So I did some googling and basically shit happens seems to be the answer, some people are saying they bought lamps that last barely 600 hours so I guess just have to eat it, rather than paying £250 on a lamp for a 6 year old projector (as good as it is) we decided to buy a new one so just bought this:

Highlights:
- 16:9 Full HD 1080p
- 2000 ANSI lumens
- 5,000:1 Contrast
- PC 3D ready
It's too new to have any reviews out which is a bit of a worry but I checked with the store I bought from and I can return it no questions asked and they send UPS out to pick it up from me if I want to return it so that's good.
Main thing I liked besides the specs is that Benq just changed their lamp warranty to 12 months or 2,000 hours, whichever comes first
