The first 2 DLPs (Toshiba) we had were around for about 3 1/2 years. We didn't get the warranty and sure enough some panels went and to fix it was damn near the price of a new one with labor. So off we went to buy another tv and hubby talked me into a bigger DLP instead of a smaller LCD. (And since I am a woman, I will NEVER EVER let him forget this! lol) So we got a 60" RCA and after 1 1/2 years the lamp went. At least, this time I talked him into the warranty. Guy comes out, doesn't have a lamp (even though we told them that is what it was when we called it in), and then he writes up an order and tells us to call him when it comes to the house. Call him, he comes out, wrong bulb, and he writes up another order. That bulb comes and it was the right one so we are back on track. Two months later the lamp goes out. Repeat the above process THREE MORE TIMES. Well with our warranty we had a "lemon" clause that stated we get our money back or a comparable tv after 4 fixes within the contract. Well we went down to the store and they pointed out the tv they'd give us. It was an even bigger Toshiba and it was again a DLP. Hubby looked at me with that "OMG IT'S HUGE I WANT IT" look and I just stood there and stared at him. After about 30 seconds, he turned to the salesman and said "Um...where are the LCD's?"

Well, this contradicts my LCD or GTFO, but when i first moved out to California from VA, i had no furniture and had my belonings in VA packed and shrink wrapped on a pallet and sent out from VA to one of my warehouses in CA. So basically i had nothing... First thing i did, after securing my apartment, was to goto Best Buy and pick out my tv. I chose a 50" Toshiba DLP tv. Man it was a big sucker... 7 years later, it's still my main tv I have in my living room. The picture is awesome, even though its not 1080p, and it still works great. It's been so great acutally, that I just recently purchased a 55" 1080p hdtv LCD TOSHIBA, and put the new larger LCD tv in my bedroom. The picture is better on my new LCD tv, but my good 'ol DLP Toshiba downstairs is still doing a great job, so no real need to replace it. (The other factor is that the older tv is so damn big it would be hard as hell to get it up the stairs in my house and make room for it in my bedroom.)
