Yeah, that's what we were told, too. We only watch TV maybe a couple hours a day during the week, if that. We got it mostly for weekend movies and sports games. But we figured replacing the bulb is better than the permanent burn in with other technologies, and we think the picture is the best of them all for the size we have.
Thanks.
Your point is good.
Global2010,
Given your scenario, have you considered using a projector instead?
The screen can be as big as an entire wall. You'll want to paint that wall white of course. If you don't want to use a wall, there are some large, fold away screens you can use.
The projectors today are very bright and small. Some are noisier than others but that may not be an issue given the ambient noise in the room.
The projector can be mounted to the ceiling on the other end of the room or it can be placed on a table. You can even put it off to the side or corner and make some adjustments to the projector so the image is projected correctly.
The nice thing about this setup is that unless the screen and projector are permanently mounted, you can take it all with you very easily should you want to use it elsewhere.
We purchaced a 61" Sony
Outdated will have buy a new Lamp @ $140 every yrs but it i whay he wanted and what we had in cash plus the 4 yr warrenty in home service 4 $179
Misspells.......We got a big ass tv and are willing to live with the short comings.
Sports R now back in OUR Life!
I remember digital projectors running about five grand seven years ago.
The thing that turns me away from them these days is the short lamp life, and price of the lamps.
I'd love to play my videogames on a giant screen.
