Nice find :-)

How did you get one with so little use.

A mate of mine has a presentations company and he sold a projector to a
local pub because it had burnt guns from a company Logo. It only placed a
small green dot on the screen but when showing a head and shoulders shot of
a presenter they had the dot in the middle of their forehead. the dit want
even noticable when displaying football in the pub.

Our biggest problem is Corporate Powerpoint Presentations.

Everyone uses the "standard" BT template and the blue part of the
piper
gets burnt onto the blue guns. This results in a yellowish streak across
white screens ;-(

Sadly a screen saver wont work because Powerpoint overrides it and we cant
blank the screen after 20 minutes because sometimes they spend longer than
that on one slide. a single static image is Ok for quite a few hours, our
problem is that EVERY presentation puts the same image in the same place
for anything upto 30 or 40 minutes several times everyday.

We also have some Fujitsu 21" plasma panels that show a scrolling
presentation all day everyday and these are showing signs of screen burn
much quicker that CRT's do. I expect our 33" Pioneer plasma will do
the
same shortly :-(

What a waste......give them to me and I will ensure they have a good life
:-)

Add 15k to that if you buy new ...

However, the NEC P6Extra that I have was about ?15k new and cost me ?2k
with
about 1,500 hours of use on the clock and unmarked tubes.
