Viewing Lamp Usage and Other Information
Use the About menu to view information about the display settings of 
your computer and the number of hours the lamp has been used. 
1. Press the 
Menu
 button, then highlight the 
About
 menu and press 
Enter
You see the lamp usage hours and various input signal settings on 
the right:
The life span of the lamp is about 2000 hours if the 
Brightness 
Control
 setting in the Advanced 2 menu is set to 
High 
(default), 
and 3000 hours if the 
Brightness Control
 setting is set to 
Low
Make sure you have a spare lamp handy if the usage hours on this 
menu are close to the life span of your lamp. If you’ve installed a 
new lamp, be sure to reset the lamp timer (see page 173).
