Thats what I have heard as well, and it makes me lean toward DLP. Sure the bulb burns out after 3 yrs but you can replace it

Don’t you think it’s time to STOP WATCHING T.V.?

Here’s why:

- TV makes people SICK!!
- TV enslaves you and Saps all your creative energy!
- TV hooks you like DRUGS!
- TV is obviously a “Vast Wasteland.” (This is common knowledge)
- TV is just plain BAD for you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
- Watching it will cause you great unhappiness in life and you’re more than likely to get CANCER or some other weird disease!!

If you absolutely must have your media injection, why not just read a good book?

Avoid DLP if you’re concerned about reliability. As you know, DLP uses a million tiny mirrors to generate the picture. These are all MECHANICAL parts that can, and will break. Stick with LCD.

And yes, I am a video engineer.

If you buy one of the new LED-based DLP TVs, there is no bulb to burn out.

Bulbs are over $300 and are suppose to be replaced by professionals. ( $250 ) In a few years the technology will be much better - DLP's are the future - not the now...

I’ll second the DLP choice. I have a 42 Samsung DLP and it runs almost continuous. I’m retired and like the background noise during the daytime.

Over 3 years old, replaced the bulb once, and not another issue at all. Great TV.

I bought a 52" Mitsubishi DLp 1080i for under 2,000. With the stand it ended up being almost 2,500. Its been great except for the fact that after moving to a new house, if it gets a little warm the TV will signal its too hot and shuting down.

It hasn't happened in a while but I can find nothing else wrong with the TV.
