My wife and stepkids in Houston have been using my JVC DLP-TV for the past three years or so while I've been exiled back to the UK. The darned thing keeps blowing it's "bulb", with a kosher JVC unit, including housing, costing, US$200 a time. I think the root cause is the kids leaving the TV on 24/7 and overheating the bulb as a result.
My questions are:
1, Do all DLP-TVs do this?
2, Is this one of the reasons (apart from the relative "thickness" of the sets) that DLPs have gone the way of the dodo, Betamax and HD-DVD?
