the dlps i have serviced have got the color wheel whine. can hear them 20 feet away. color wheels costs wholesale rca $150.00 bulb from $250.00 to $360.00 wholesale. you dont leave these sets running 24/7. they will cost you out the ass. and the color wheels are small and the bearings dry up in the bulb heat spinning at 7200rpm.
