I have a samsung hls7646, bought in January ‘07. First bulb blew in August ‘08. Purchased replacement bulb, it blew in Jan. 09. I am installing my third bulb when I get home today. Is there any truth to the internet rumor of the “dynamic” picture setting lessening the bulb life? I’m tired of having problems. Is there a bigger problem that is causing the bulbs to blow

Bought our Samsung HLP5063W with HP’s DLP Feb ‘06 with extended warranty (thank God!!). It was the best looking picture in Best Buy’s store of all LCD/plasmas! They replaced projector bulb Feb ‘08, and now Feb ‘09 they’re coming again probably replacing bulb. As last year, tv cuts off after 1st turning on, then it’s on/off/repeat until stays on but it’s taking longer. Temp/standby light stays on as it cuts off (not 3 flashing light messages as bad bulb is supposed to cause). Tried unplugging for 30 seconds, and can also hear a fan blowing inside when tv muted, per owner manual troubleshooting. Am considering extending the extended warranty, but because of the problems I’m reading here and have experienced, may just dump this thing and get a typical flat LCD/plasma and forget the DLP quality picture. Thanks to you all for publishing info here!
