Re: and hardware upgrades too My parents TV has lasted them more than 5 years and the only maintenance on it was replacing a bulb or something. Reasonably priced I believe. |

The cost of a better quality set is only slightly more than the cost of a DLP bulb replacement or two for a 5-year old DLP ... and pray the color wheel doesn't go out.
While some people are perfectly happy keeping their old set, the days of buying a huge CRT and not having maintenance or replacement costs to bear are gone ... done ... finito. Whether that cost is in DLP bulb replacement, color wheel alignment or replacement, plasma fade, LCD wash out ... or what ever else I can't think of now, the market has changed. |

im glad i still have my 1080i rear projection sony. Had it since 2001. (still can get parts for it)
Older tech is still better than this new crap. Every 3 to 5 years replace? what a bunch of bullshit anymore. |
