I have a tv/dvd combo that has a faulty screen. The image is cut off and when I called to trouble shoot the problem I suddenly found myself talking to a customer group in India. Nothing wrong with that eccept for the fact that they don't speak good english and for every question that they asked me I had to repeat myself at least three times. My phone call was dropped 3 times and when I finally did get a "manager" he told me that even though I was under the 1 year warranty I still had to pay for labor. Footnote He also gave me an obviously fake name which consisted of two last names. Names that I'm sure he hears a lot on tv.
Picked up a Curtis lcd today put on a movie, and one pixel is already broken, and shows an annoying green dot on the screen.
Actually this is not true. Eventhough I own a DLP myself. DLP have been proven time after time not to be better than LCD they have a running record of about 10% of them needing repairs within the first year. LCD on the other hand in at 3%. Another factor to consider and I know this now because I am in the process of doing this with my TV is the replacement of the lamps which have to be done every 2 years or so at a cost from $200 to $450. So DLP is not as good as it should be.
Just my opinion, but DLP is much better then LCD right now. I know you want HDTV but wait just a little longer for LCD. The new generations of LCD's that are coming out will have a LONG lifespan and carry HDTV (16x9) for a long time. DLP then Plasma are still better and last longer. I love HDTV and I have a DLP overhead projector (set at 73" right now) and if I could I would buy the 72" stand-alone but I've compared DLP to LCD and DLP is still the best.
