I bought the Cinema One in 1999. It was comparatively very good back then. I only use it on my PC, the picture quality was ok. As long as the lamp is still alive, I‘ll use it in my vacation apartment. My main projector has been an Optoma EP1690 for a few years now (also on the PC): it is much quieter, has a much higher brightness (watching TV in the afternoon without darkening is no problem), Half HD resolution, costs a good 1000 euros. Conclusion: The Cinema One is a nice old device for the museum. For the price of a replacement lamp, you can get a new projector HD projector: Acer H5350!

Fit for the future !?
About 6 years ago I bought a Davis Cinema one. This projector has a rather modest picture if you run it without additional equipment, but with the addition of an I scan Pro and an anamorphic lens from Isco, the Davis conjures up a picture that is sensational. Is it even possible to use it with these high-resolution data carriers? confused::)
