[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 897068, member: 67547"] Richard L- Good point. Wasn't implying ALL panels are the same. Nothing further from the truth. Picture quality is achieved using quality components and strict QC. One mfgs. "engine", will make a TV vastly superior to another, using an identical front panel. I understood this when I bought my Elite Plasma, I was buying NEC mfg. single pane glass. TJR- Always loved the DLP image quality, particularly "skin tones". Somehow, people are CONVINCED they need a FLAT panel, when fewer than one third actually wall mount them. Am still apprehensive with the Mitsubishi "Diamond" Series DLP's several years back. Had at least a 50% FAILURE rate after LESS than one year. Even a "class action" lawsuit involving hundreds of customers. (Google, "Mitsubishi Class Action Lawsuit") Not isolated to one single problem, either. Color wheels, cooling fans, condensation, to name a few. Dropped the line after Mits refused to warranty their product. Other thing with newer RPTV's is the "user replaceable" lamp that costs between $150-$300. VERY suspect life expectancy of 6000 hours. Had a few customers replace them after a little more than 6 months, in a controlled environment. Lamp warranty is 90 days. (Average use 4 hours per day, A/C always on) Thanks. [/QUOTE]
