Tech Snore
I'm a sleep tech, and I know what this is, but I want to ask everyone if they or someone they know uses a CPAP
How many of you use, or know someone who uses a CPAP machine at night to help them breathe and not to snore?
I am very curious about this, since CPAPs save lives all over the world. I think we all need more education on CPAP machines, and we need to spread the word that if people snore or stop breathing at night, they should have a sleep study done.
Sleep Apnea causes high blood pressure, can cause strokes and heart attacks. It sometimes makes people have heartburn at night, and makes them sleepy during the day. People can become forgetful or irritated. This is just a short list of all the damage that having untreated sleep apnea can cause.
I know many, in my personal life, who use C-paps or Bipaps. I most likely know more because I am an RT. I just found out that my Sunday school leader uses one today. We talked about it and different masks for 10 or 15 minutes.

You Snore Like A Motherfuker
DLP / DELL 3100 It's really hi-tech??
Just try to impress the wife and kids, I bought this throught EBAY. Over all it looks good, but it shows too dark and the colors can not bring to real picture no matter what I try. It has SVGA 800-600. After couple weeks no ones want to see just my wife and she snores after couple min. Please tell me to give up or save my face please.
According to the Dell page this is a 1024 by 768 projector. It will look better (sharper) at that resolution compared to 800 by 600.
The contrast ratio is terrible for a DLP product though.
1000 ANSI lumens is on the low side. And that would be when it was new, if you have 500+ hours on the bulb it will probably be significantly dimmer. Life for these bulbs (ie 50% of original brightness) is usually 2000 hours.
Also it is a single colour wheel device. These can either be bright with really bad colour reproduction - usually yellows are the worst - or reasonable colour but dim. It sounds like you have both drawbacks!.
If there are a lot of hours on the bulb (there should be a timer in the OSD) then you can try replacing the bulb. These are expensive and it will do nothing for the colour reproduction.
It is probably better to ditch it, or pass it on via E-bay, and get a big screen TV or a projector that is designed for home use rather than office presentations.
