DLP only seems to work long term in projectors, they probably have better cooling airflow being out in the open like they typically are. Every single DLP set I've come into contact with would drop a bulb on short notice (even a new bulb), and when it did if it didn't take out the bulb power supply/DLP chip/DLP board/power supply at the same time you were very lucky. I know, I went through it with a brand new Mitsu and I won't go back no matter how cheap one is. Most of the time you might pay up to $150 for one, but guess what? A quality bulb that isn't gonna pop on you right away will cost at least that much- and you have that cost to look forward to probably once a year. IMO go flat, or find a nice Trinitron and don't waste your time.
