  I’ve had mine for three years. It was the product of the year in 2005 when I bought it. The only problem I’ve had (and I haven’t tried to get it fixed) is I can’t use the component inputs because they have some kind of short in them. I use the other inputs instead. Maybe I’ll get the component inputs fixed some day, who knows. But it hasn’t been something I’ve had to do so I haven’t done it. I have been wanting to get a Blu-Ray player but the salesman I spoke to said the 720p output of my TV isn’t the ideal output for Blu-Ray and I would be wasting my money. I need a TV that supports 1080p. Well, I’m not ready for a new TV just yet so the Blu-Ray will have to wait I guess..

  I bought this unit in August, 2004 and love it! I probably overpaid as this was “new” technology back then. I bought the 4 year extended warranty from Best Buy and had the DLP bulb replaced twice. Each time the bulb was replaced it was not absolutely necessary but hey, I paid for the extra warranty… I’m using component input cables from my Denon AVR-1905 and am considering upgrading to the AVR-1909 so I can connect to the Samsung with HDMI. I just got a Blu-ray player and am shopping for the AVR-1909 but I’m struggling with a reason to upgrade the TV. This Samsung has been a real winner. I’d like to get a 58″ LCD or Plasma but will probably wait for this DLP to break down. I’s strongly recommend a Samsung DLP to anyone in the market.

  I bought this TV two years ago to the month and have had no problems with it at all, still has the original bulb. My CC warranty is up in two weeks and i’m wondering whether to renew it or just buy a new bulb online and replace myself. The picture has been great for the past 24 months. I don’t have the TV in a entertainment center so it doesn’t have a chance to heat up, it just sit out in the open so it cools off nicely.

  While I like the picture, sound and features, within 1 year the TV ceased to work. The warranty repair involved replacing nearly everything, and took nearly 2 weeks. I wasn’t particularly happy dealing with Samsung service. Although I ultimately got a functioning TV back, I still deal with intermittent problems getting the TV to start. This is accompanied by apparently diagnostic sequences of flashing lights on the front. Unfortunately, the Samsung web site is not helpful decoding those lights, and I’m not interested in talking with their unpleasant support folks. I just wait for the day the thing refuses to start, at which point I’ll be done with my Samsung experiment. Not recommended.

  so i got this dlp tv about 3 months ago and right away i noticed there are marks from the inside. then i get lines that last for a few hours at a time, in less time between as time went on, and just now the lamp exploded, scared the hell out of me!!! now i get to wait for a replacement lamp from samsung… not looking forward to going through all the bs involved with this, a big mistake buying a samsung dlp. thats what i get for thinking i was getting a good deal. i guess the 1 year warranty is a good thing, but i definitely don’t trust it now, it nearly caused a fire!!!
