Projection bulbs and ink-jet cartridges - OUCH!

Posted by JerryS (R) on October 22, 2005 at 09:35:33

HP is practically giving away printers and then charging a lot for the increasingly smaller (8 ml vs. 28 ml a couple of years ago) ink-jet cartridges. The money is in the consumables, and they know it.

Is this the same with bulbs for rear projection TVs? I bought a Toshiba 56HM195, but am dreading the ~$350 charge for a replacement bulb. Who sells these bulbs at good prices?

Thanks,
JerryS
