Do the DLPs in RPTVs and large projectors have life issues?
A few years ago, I bought a small Pico projector that uses DLP technology and LED lighting... within a year, many pixels had failed... today, the picture looks as if the scene was shot in a blizzard. The projector ran quite warm (even on low brightness setting) so I'm guessing that the failure was temperature related. A larger unit also failed. Expensive little short-lived toys!
