If this is still available on Aug 31, I will buy this. That's the day I will be doing the house closing. I just wonder how heavy this is and if delivery will include setup. However major issue is lamp life which is typicaly 1000-1500 hours only. This translates to yearly change of the lamp which can be quite expensive. See LCOS.

That 1000-1500 hour lamp life refers only to LCOS Projectors, not LCOS Televisions. There's no way any manufacturer would be able to get away with a television that needed repair once per year...

The 50" Olevia LCOS I have seen with a quoted 10,000 hour lamp life which at 3 hours per day comes out to almost 10 years.

I used to think that too until I saw the Sony SXRD LCOS televisions. Those are nicer IMO than a majority of the flat panels. As long as there is a price premium on flat panels the projection TVs will survive.

Thanks for the correction. 10,000 hour lamp life is not bad though not as good as other technologies.

True, but plasma decreases in brightness over time. LCD is probably the best all around but still the most expensive.

Even at 8 hours per day this should last 4 years before bulb replacement and for most people 8 hours takes 3-4 days at least. I just wish I could see this TV in person somewhere.

Actually, LCDs have a cold-cathode fluorescent light (CCFL) that degrades fairly quickly as well, and is not user-replaceable. The horribleness of CCFLs is a big reason that LED backlights are quickly becoming the norm in good laptops, and will probably be the norm in all LCDs given a couple years.

True. But, life span of TV does not really matter these days for fatwalleter. You will probably replace your TV with newer bigger TV in few years. You just can't pass the hot deals at FW. LOL

syntax has been around for a good 4-5 years. I have the olevia 30" from them that I bought 4 years ago and to this day its still going great and I use it as my main computer monitor. for the price, you cant beat the performance

You've got that so wrong. Flat Panels of the same performance and size are so far outside of projection TV's price range. They will be around for a good long while.

ONCE a year, heck, my DLP gets 6000+ hours a year, that would be one expensive TV if I had to change the bulb 4 times a year...
