I have 2 problems the unit is only about 5 years old. The first is the sound initially would cut off and on, however it works full time with the surround sound receiver on. The second problem is the unit would turn off after about an hour of watching. It would come back on and shut off again. My delima is, is the tv worth fixing with these two problems. The quotes I get over the telephone from tv shops ranges from $125 to $700. I can replace the tv for not much more than that.
I would strongly suggest to use the funds towards a new TV. It's most of the time a domino effect between service of your set and the next issue. Generally, once there is a problem sometimes it can set off a ray of other problems. I'd suggest to go with a newer technology. Invest in something current like DLP or even LCD flat panels are great due to no burn in, and much more affordable then they used to be. Another thing to be aware of is that by febuary 2009 everything is going to be all digital. What does that mean to you? Or your current rear projection set? It means that you would have to invest in an expensive converter box that would switch the signal from analog to digital in order to get any signal. That is why you see an enormous drop in digital display prices within the past years or so, plus lots of online companies going out of business because they cant afford to compete with electronics anymore. I hope this helps. After seeing plenty of TV issues within my 7yrs of experience in selling digital displays online...I think this is a much better route to go! Take care and good luck!
