Hi all,
I was just about to invest in a Samsung SP50L7HXX after reading glowing reports and having it recommended by you guys on here.
BUT I have just been informed by an independant retailer that Samsung and Toshiba (he's a Tosh/JVC dealer) are discontinuing DLP tv's as there is a serious problem with the reliability of the bulbs inside them. The guy went on to say other manufacturers may or may not follow suit, but he would'nt recommend them at all. As replacemnet bulbs are £350!
Is this something to worry about or is he just scare mungering in the hope i'll splash mega bucks on a large screen plasma?
Gutted as I really fancied the Sammy but I dont want to spend £1600-£1700 on something with a short life span.
Your thoughts please,
Pete.
