Best Projection TVs

the lamp light flashes for a while and then the temp/ power and lamp lights all flash and then it reboots. cycle continues

So I have a 56″ Samsung LCD Projection TV, and just recently 2 days ago the lamp burnt out. I had this tv for about 1-1/2 years and the lamp already burnt. Also throughout my use of this TV, I sometimes can hear little popping noises, almost like the sound u get from when u burn firewood, and u makes the pop/crackle noise. Is there something wrong with my TV? I noticed the lamp went out because on the rear side, where the lamp sits, there used to be a light, but 2 days ago that light no longer lit up. So that’s how I knew. But I don’t get what the noises coming from inside are.

Please no jokes, I’m serious because I spent about $1,000 on this TV and I just don’t get what the noises are!

Thanks in advance!

I have a big scren that recently has a blue cloud right in the middle of the screen and it’s really annoying. I am wanting to know how much I am looking at into fixing this as this is a great TV and not wanting to get rid of it. What is the cause of this and is it an easy fix? This is not a DLP. This is the old school projection box TV’s, about 5 years old. Thank you!!

HELP! ok I bought the samsung 50inch dlp hdtv (projection) I had it installed with regulard standard direct tv
well the picture I have to say looks horrible. Even when I plug in my dvd player (which is not hd, its cheap) my dvd picture looks horrible. How can I make the picture look better

I can’t seem to find any reviews on this TV. Ciccuit City is using it as a warranty replacement for my old RCA 52″ projection piece of crap. The TV is 50″ 1080p, with a 2500:1 contrast ratio. The only downside I see is s slightly lower contrast ratio compared to the 10000:1 I have been seing on other TV’s. I just wish there were some reviews so I could decide whether I should buy the extended warranty 2 Years -$250 and 5 years – $450.

when i plug it in, it sounds like it turns on and a red light shows by the on/off button but nothing comes up. the light only stays on for a couple of seconds. there is no pic and no sound. it also sounds like i turn the tv off when i unplug it. i really don’t have the money to take it in, so i was hoping somebody could help me out, thanks

It Has a Little Yelowish Tint over it… but how much could i sell it for exactly>? or whats the base price for 1 brand new..

Is there a way to improve the color and clarity on my older projection TV? It is a Samsung model HCN4226WX/XAA? Do I need a new lamp, or can I clean it?Is there any hope for me?

My friend is giving me his old broken 52′ inch samsung tv for a hundred bucks, the tv is a rear projection and also has 1080p capability. The tv turns on and has a picture but the color is very off with alot of green and a little distorted… He said it could be a converter? Im just not sure what might that part be and is it worth fixing?

Also wondering what people think of 720p vs. 1080p. Is the extra cost worth it?
