The Bottom Line:
I can deal with replacing a $300 bulb, but not a $1400 light engine. Thumbs down.
Bought the TV from costco.com a few years back. The picture appeared to have a slight magenta cast at times, but I didn't think much of it.
The picture was very bright and I have not had any issues with viewing angles. The sound is not as deep as my older toshiba tube-based RPTV but I fixed that with a external surround sound system.
The built-in fan is noticable to me, especially during the quiet scenes.
Remote doesn't have individually assigned inputs - you must cycle through all of the same input types using a single button (e.g. a button for hdmi/PC, a button for AV1-3, a button for component1-2, etc). This makes it impossible to program macros that are 100% bulletproof on my universal remote (for example there is no way to definitively select the HDMI input - I can only toggle between HDMI and PC.)
TV is starting to make a loud humming sound now and another site on the web suggests that the color wheel is failing and that it is a $1000 repair job since the entire optical engine must be replaced.
It was a good set for the price, and if it wasn't for this new humming sound I would be satisfied with it. Now I am simply waiting for this thing to completely die so that I can replace it.
