Bad news of the day is that my 57" DLP projection HDTV took another crap out on me. Now it won't turn on at all. I'll have to open her up and see what I can see. I think it might have shorted out. When I replaced the stupid DLP bulb for the third time in 3 years(I'll never buy another DLP again) the insulation on the wires was burned off. That can't be good. This sucks. I wanted to get the transmission for the vert this Christmas, now I'll probably be getting a new TV.

I'd have answered your question about the engine oil, but to be honest you're the auto tech guy and you know far more about it than I do.

Sorry about the DLP. I have one as well. Just changed the bulb for the first time in June. I have a 5 year warranty including the bulbs so I figure 1 or more changes(set is 2 years 1/2 now) warranty cost 169 for 5 and bulb alone is that much....now it looks brand new again

This sucks hardcore. The TV is in the family room and it gets watched all the time. I could possibly take the 47" one out of the living room, and then replace it with the 37" I just got for my garage.

I think that's what I'll do. TV prices usually drop even more after Christmas. Especially if its a bad year.

I'm so deprived

Just make sure you don't run water through there and start it up.


There was a 32" 720p for $300 I think at target this week. They're definitely getting cheaper.

Does your 42" have a built in HDTV tuner. Because I'm sure you could at least pick up over the air HD broadcast signals from Minneapolis with an antenna. It would be extremely easy to set up. Just some $20 rabbit ears from Walmart, Target, or Best Buy connected to the back of the TV and you're in business.
