Quesiton:
The image seems to be getting dimmer with time.
The image seems to be getting dimmer over time. I think this is an LCD projector.
Oh, and the best place to get bulbs? WIth five kids and over 30 months use now, I love the projector. It also displays in HD so no need to replace the unit.

Answer:It does get dimmer with time before failing completely. With the Z2 (and all Sanyo's, I think) you can display the number of hours on the bulb by pressing and holding the power button on the remote for 20 seconds. My Z2 bulb has 1800 hours and I've noticed a slight but noticeable dimming in that time.
You can find bulbs by going to froogle.google.com and searching on "sanyo z2 lamp". Should find one for under $300.
