The bulbs on the Samsung sets are supposed to late 8000 hours.
Yes some don't. The lastest generation is much improved. The bulb
doesn't cost $600.00, it's $250.00. The price will drop as more & more of these unit are being sold. Repair costs of DLP sets are also far less expensive then CRT based units.
Oh yes. One other thing to consider when buying a new wide screen TV.
WEIGHT What you rather move? A 201 lb 34" CRT tv or a 67 lb 43" DLP?

I have also read that a number of CRT manuifactures are already shutting down some of their production lines. DLP, Plasma, LCD, LCoS,
is going to due them in. How many people are going to want to lug around a 300+ lb 40" CRT. Not me. I have a 67 lb 43" DLP on order.
