They are bright indeed, but relatively high maintenance. Also the really bright ones out there, Sam... and so forth have had color wheels and engines fail, so I've heard. Just too many moving parts and a bulb change.

So there we have another factor.... how often will you run the set? All day everyday? around 2-3 hours a day?

The DLP's look so good that I would buy one and abuse it anyway! But then again I work for a TV shop.

The dlia's I saw are cool, but now we might be gatting to dark for a sunny room, but thats just my opinion.
