Samsung HLP6163W 61-Inch HDTV Monitor with DLP Technology
Samsung 61" DLP HDTV
I bought one of the 61\\" DLP Samsung HDTV's.  On the good side the picture is great!  There is no problem with glare on the screen.  Even with the Florida sun coming through the windows you get a bright picture.  On the down side, the ballast started to go after only 2 months.  The first symptom was that it would occasionally take several tries to turn the television on.   Within 6 months the television would not turn on at all.  During that period of time the repair center had me do such things as unplug the TV for several hours to reboot it, hold the power button down with the TV unplugged to discharge the transistors, and other things that are a pain to do with a TV this size.  I called a second repair center and they told me, just from the symptoms I described over the phone, what the problem was (they had the same complaint on the Samsungs from other customers).  They replaced the ballast and gave me a new bulb for my troubles.  I was lucky the TV was still under factory warranty.  My advice would be to get the extended warranty.  I was told that the bulb alone coast around $300.
