Default Sony rear projection TV lamp problems !!

Do you know anyone who has changed a backlight in a consumer LCD flat panel
display? If you do it is a rarity. They are not only very reliable, and
likely to outlive many of the other components in the sets, but are usually
not available as replacement parts.

and get a good flat panel type TV set that does not use projection
technology. The LCD sets should give you at least 50,000 to 60,000 hours
before there are any problems. With LCD sets, there will be no lamp
changes.
With the rear screen sets, by the time the life span of the set is over,
you
would have spent more than the difference than if you bought a high end
flat
panel LCD set in the first place.


LCD sets _will_ require backlight lamp changes, only less frequently.
