From what I understand these bulbs can be changed by the owner. A buddy of mine bought a back up from ebay at less than 1/2 price.

I tell ya, these new hi tek tv's can't hold a candle to the reliability of the tube tv's.

Ya got that right Jed ! I've still got my 26" RCA in the basement that I bought so I could watch Bugs Bunny in colour in 1982 ! Still has a perfect picture.

 

As to a good shop Peter.. sorry can't help you with that anymore. Know a good guy for the older stuff.. but not the new stuff.

Have you tried barking at samsung direct? Their service is actually not bad. The DLP's were a bad tv and they may work with you. Worth a try. I own a store that sells tvs and I have been (rarely) impressed but it happens where a manufacturer steps up. In this case they may as there are many documented problems with the DLP hence why they didn't last.
