Magnavox 50 Inch Widescreen HDTV DLP with Tuner 50ML8105D
Excellent TV - Great Value!
Wonderful set and picture. No complaints whatsoever. BUT $694 for a replacement DLP bulb!!!!! Saw this on a forum and didn't believe it so I called Magnavox/Philips for myself. Found this out AFTER I bought the set. Don't make the same mistake. Great set as long as $694 for a replacement bulb doesn't bother you!<br /><br />UPDATE MAY 2008 - After 2 years, the picture on this is as bright, crisp and clear as when I purchased it - and - I've yet to have to replace the original bulb - and - this is on 8+ hours per day - and - the bulbs can now be had on ebay for under $300. If I could I'd change my rating to 5 stars based on my 2 years of experience! It has proved to be a great buy!<br /><br />UPDATE MAY 2010 - Four years into service and the picture is still excellent. However, the newer sets have improved to the point this no longer looks as good as it once seemed - but only by comparison as the picture is as good now as when new. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another DLP set out of concern of it lasting but my next one will likely be an LCD or an LED if the prices come down. I had to replace the bulb on this once about a year ago. I have one spare bulb left so I guess I'm good until 2015! It is making an ugly sound on start up that goes away after 2 to 3 minutes but is otherwise fine. BTW, replacement bulbs have come down to about $150.
