Toshiba 62HM195 62 in. HDTV DLP TV

i had my toshiba for less than 5months before the lamp blew out. the manual says it should last for 6000-8000 hours before dying. given the short amount of time i owned this unit and the fact i used the low power setting on the bulb, i'm extremely disappointed to find this problem occuring so soon. toshiba is sending me a new bulb, of course, but i'm suspicious of what to expect, especially given the previous reviewer's same problems.

i'm very pleased with the quality of the picture, but, this unit is still untested at 1080p, since i've yet to have a test source to play.
