Now this IS a warranty...

[George Bellefontaine]

I was reading a review on the new Dukane LCOS front projector (the Image Pro 9115) and lo and behold, they are offering a 5YEAR WARRANTY. This is amazing, considering most other mfgrs offer 3 years on lcd and dlp projectors. Not to mention SONY who are now only offering 2 years on their projectors. For Dukane to make this kind of a warranty tells me they have a lot of faith in their product. What does that say about Sony ?

What does that say about Sony? Hmmm, that they are one of the largest (and richest) electronics manufactures on the planet.

And that Dukane is not.

Actually some bean counter at Sony probably saw a 5% increase in warranty returns after 2 years, therefore if you drop the warranty to under that curve you've just achieved more net profit for the books, and you get a big raise and a bonus and a new playstation 2 for your hardwork.

Although I'm sure the Dukane is an excellent unit, and that does have a big marketing impact being able to say you have 2-3 more years of warranty coverage than your competition.

The NEW Hitachi LCOS projector is a Dukane clone, so maybe Dukane won't be small much longer.
