I owned a Mitsubishi projection TV since 1984 and had no problems with it. I decided to upgrade to a moe modern TV and purchased a 50"DLP from Samsung. Warranty is for 2 years.
At 2.5 years, the color wheel went out. The original TV cost me 3900.00 in 2003. The color wheel cost me 1100.00 to repair. 8 months later, the power supply dies and costs me another 720.00.
Samsung said that no one has had these issues and refuses to allow me to trade the TV in for a LCD or some other non-mechanical Samsung TV. Incredible Universe is where i purchased the TV. They are no longer located anywhere in Texas.
Stick with a Mitsubishi or something other than a Samsung!!!
