Ok, my angst came from the first post in the other thread that went like

1st of all  "what i took as YOUR WRONG!"

2nd of all "what i took as YOUR WRONG!"

3rd of all "what i took as YOUR WRONG!"

Re-reading it though I see that they have completely sold out of the tv that i got which does do 1080i.  So you never saw it.  

I'm right and your right.  Squashed.

Not trying to start anything with u guys but I found some technical specs that lists the components specifically if u are interested HERE

[Heet]

Naw its ok, i think we see i to i now.   Thanks for the spec sheet.  I did find out some things out about that tv that i didnt know though.  Like the reasons why there were so many refurbs for that model.  It had a history of PSU and picture problems but it looks like they were either lemons or perfectly fine tv's.  So far so good.  Here's hoping

You do know that the average bulb in a DLP tv lasts upwards of 80,000 (eighty thousand) hours right? Im only mentioning this because thats the only negative you gave the DLP tv 

that should not be a factor, you wont own a set that long.

but get what your heart and eyes like I always say 
at the 12 month mark my projector didnt even have 800 (eight hundred hours), and I do a lot of shit on it. That bulb will last me 4 to 5 years, atleast 3. and by that time the bulb for it will be $100 - 150.00 instead of the $300 it is now.

Even at 12 hours a day, 7 days a week...all year long, you'll only reach 4,300 some hours. Thats TWELVE hours a day, every day of the year. Thats 18 Years of use out of a DLP tv  :lol:

I just dont want people getting the wrong idea about a DLP tv, the bulb needing replacement isn't an issue. I dont even see it being an issue with a DLP projector at 4,000 hours.

shit, even if you left the set on 24 hours a day, it would still take 9 years for it to go.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that.
Perhaps I will take a look at the Samsung DLP's again.
I guess the only thing really going against it now is the fact that you have to sit at the right hight. From what I recall, it wasn't so much as the angle you're watching from whether it's from the left or right. But the problem I saw with the DLP's is that if lets say you're sitting on the floor and you're looking up at the screen (depending how high the screen is mounted), you'll see the dreaded projection shadow of old.

But don't get me wrong, it's no where near as bad as old school projection TV's. It's just that when I looked at the Samsung LCD's, you could easily view the screen from any angle.
That's important to me because I like to sit on a bean bag while I play video games. And when ever there's a big time sporting event, my friends come over to watch and they usually fill up my living room.

Damn, too many things to consider now that I know a DLP's shelf life is no different than any other TV.
Thanx for the info bro!

  Get this though.  The guy who bought the tv had a gun go out, he had about a month of problems trying to get it fixed/replaced with Mitsubishi, and now he's getting a 1080P!!!  Turns out the problems were more than just the gun.  Im so pissed  


Owell, I keep telling myself that nobody's going to support that
