Well i dont know about this Hitachi one... but the Panasonic PT-AE700E is designed for Home Theater... hence the native 720p Resolution... that combined with the fact that the Panasonic is 3-LCD which is why it doesnt have the dreaded "Flyscreen Effect" ... and neither does it suffer the DLP "Rainbow Effect"... and as far as the Lamp warranty... yeh well i guess its luck of the draw... that said... find out the replacement lamp costs for this Hitachi ... the Panasonic PT-AE700E's lamps you can get from around $400
