I have Samsung 43" HDTV DLP I purchased a year and a half ago. Apart the problem with the lamp, I am very happy with it. Unlucky I had to change my lamp after a year of purchase, since it was defective. First time that Circuit City protection plan was worth it (I paid nothing to have my lamp replaced at home by a technician). I would strongly suggest that you purchase a protection plan with your retailer, since the technology of all these DLPs, Plasmas, LCDs, etc is rather new, and you'll never know what happens in near future.
