RE: bulb math

FWIW, the replacement bulb on my 60" SXRD cost me $250 + shipping. I'm still on my original with about 4K hrs (guesstimate). That's not an issue for me.

BTW, DLPs are not "flat panels", being neither flat nor panels-they are rear projection sets. I can't watch them due to rainbows.

Frozen/dead/stuck pixels are more of a problem when buying (return policies are critical)-I haven't talked to anyone who had a clean plasma, and then lost alot (or any) pixels during use. Last I heard, current (big brand) plasmas had a half life of about 40K-50K. New ones are *claiming* 100K.

I have nothing against FP persoanlly, especially since 1080p ones are getting cheaper. That said, their requirements do preclude their use by many people.
