How long do you leave it on?
I was told 24/7 will lead to yearly lamp burn outs costing hundereds of dollars.
Lamp life 6,ooo hrs so I am told.
Yeah, that's what we were told, too. We only watch TV maybe a couple hours a day during the week, if that. We got it mostly for weekend movies and sports games. But we figured replacing the bulb is better than the permanent burn in with other technologies, and we think the picture is the best of them all for the size we have.
