I think some time in the near future we’re going to have to look into getting a new TV. Not that we can afford one!
Why? Well, about five years ago we bought a DLP TV. It has a great picture, but it has this special light that shines on this spinning disc in order to make the picture. Trouble is that, oh about once a year or year and a half, the light starts to burn out and it costs about $150 to replace it!
When we bought the TV DLP’s were fairly new and we were told the cost of the light would go down but it doesn’t seem to have reduced in price at all. So it’s an expensive TV to maintain. Oh and last year we had to replace the color wheel!
If and when we do get a new TV I think we’ll look into an LCD TV or one of those new LED TV’s.
Anyone else have a DLP TV?
Yes, DLP’s are a lot of maintenance and do not give as great of a picture as LCD or LED. I have personally not seen a LED tv. What ever you do though do not buy a plasma!
