Bridgeman, sorry to hear of the unfortunate occurance.
As a Mitsub. 73" DLP owner, I'd be curious of the relevance of a UPS in this application. I'll have to pay attention if or how long the fan runs after TV is turned off. I'd agree that the temperature would rise in the bulb chamber if the bulb and fan turned off at the same time. I'd guess the degree of temperature rise would depend on the physical characteristics of each individual devices light box. If the bulb would be adversely affected may also vary somewhat by bulb too, I'd guess.
Yada, Yada, Yada... But the bottom line. What about my damned TV.
