I would argue the "being more reliable statement" I work on them allmost
every day now--of course we are selling lots of them too. New technology
just brings new bugs. The Hitachi LCDRPTV's have a connector that was
either improperly installed or just plain faulty on one of its boards
causing intermittant video symptoms. I've replaced quite a few Samsung DLP
color wheels--a couple of main digitals---and one DMD board (digital mirror
device) All 3 of them in one customers two sets. The sony lamp syndrome
has been finally figured out--but I can't remember how many "upgrades" I did
before finding that it was just the bulb manufacturer to begin with
(phillips bulbs that is) When I talk about reliability about these sets
now--I say it with a "it will LAST very long" other than "It won't break
down" based on the fact that there won't be any crts wearing out. But dey
gots dare problems tho.
