Hi All,
I have been a proud owner of a Sony DLP 3 LCD 50" Television for just over 3 years now (Originally cost me about £1300) & has only been in repair once (around 12 months ago), due to the lamp failing & getting a darker picture & am now due to extend my warranty for another year.
Anyway the same problem has arisen & now gotta have the brightness set on max to get a decent picture.
Now the problem I have is that I spoke to the shop about the problem & about the renewal of the extended warranty & the manager of the shop that I spoke to, had a hunch that even if I extend the warranty of the product, it will no longer cover the replacement of the lamp
.
I have checked the cost of the lamp & is on average about £130. Depending on what setting is used the lamp will give about 1 years of viewing before it need replacing again. Each lamp purchased only comes with 90 days warranty.
Now I got 2 options
(1) Save up for a 42" Plasma for when the lamp finally snuffs.
(2) Replace the bulb
So folks what do you reckon, are plasmas worth the price tag ?. Or should I give my current set another lease of life ?
