Thing is though, aside from the TV being only 1080i max it does everything I want it to do right now and I paid so much for that TV at the time that I want to squeeze every dollar out of it that I can (Yes, I can be a penny pinching SOB when I want to be)
At $6500 in 2003, divided through by seven years it means that the TV cost me $928.57 per year. Add in this bulb I just bought at $338 and another seven years of viewing and then my TCO over the life of the TV is down to $488.43.
At that point after fourteen years I might have no choice but to consider a new TV but by then who knows? Maybe there's even better viewing technology out there then there is right now.
