My Experience: This has been a great tv, with just a couple of issues. One, the room needs to be dark to see the picture- glare is a killer. Two, the bulbs. I've had this tv almost 7 years, and have replaced 2 of them. Thankfully, the first bulb was covered by the warranty, which is great, because they were $400 at the time. The second one was not, but the price had dropped on the bulbs to about $120, so I had no problem replacing it. I'm expecting to have the light start to blink again, but bulbs for this tv are now about $40, so if we decide to keep this tv, I know it won't cost much to make it look new again.

Problems: Replaced 2 bulbs, not great unless room is dark, but these are common to most, if not all, DLP tv's.
