I think it’s about time that my husband and I start looking for a new television set. We have a fairly nice Samsung DLP that we bought in 2004, but the light bulb has burned out twice now and the price of a new DLP light is NOT going down.
Also, when the TV’s on it hums. A high pitched hum that just drives me nuts. I’m sure it’s coming from the fan that’s on the light light bulb mount. I haven’t found much information about others complaining of this problem but I hate it. So it’s time to get a new TV.
Oh don’t worry. The DLP was very very expensive. We won’t be throwing it away. We’ll use it in the basement rec room, but it will no longer be the main TV for our household. Actually if we don’t use it as often we won’t have to replace that darn expensive light bulb as often.
The bulb costs over $400! We’ve replaced it twice. If we didn’t want an HDTV I suppose we could have bought another set just with what we’ve paid for those two light bulbs. Crazy huh.
So I’ve been looking at TV review sites. I found a nice one that has lcd tv reviews. It seems to have articles about all the main models and since we’re now thinking of an LCD or Plasma TV it’s a good place to start.
Do you know of any other television set sites that I should take a look at?
