For instance (knocking on wood), my first flat panel failed in the 10th month of ownership. Compare this to the first rear-projection set that failed once in its forth year. Both covered under manufacturer's warranty.<br><br>I think its a little skewed in the numbers because for the longest time and for the majority of rear projection televisions were based not on bulbs, but on cathode ray tubes. If you were to look at the technologies within RPTVs five years ago I would be curious to know how they all held up.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GhostDoggy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2007 5:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey says: LCD and plasma TVs highly reliable]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want a 60" or larger TV.  I can't afford an LCD or plasma that big.  Projection TVs have their place.  It is unfortunate that they are disappearing from the marketplace.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shape]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2007 8:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey says: LCD and plasma TVs highly reliable]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm glad rear projection is disappearing from the market.  LCDs and especially Plasmas have a far superior PQ - and with the elimination of RP, FPDs won't carry a premium cost that they had when RPs existed.  50 and 60" Pioneer Kuro Plasmas are the absolute best. Nothing better exists today.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[HDpurist]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2007 9:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey says: LCD and plasma TVs highly reliable]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</guid><description><![CDATA[competition drives prices down,elimination of rear projection tv's will not lower the price of big tv's, if anything they will slow the prices being reduced.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2007 11:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey says: LCD and plasma TVs highly reliable]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/03/survey-says-lcd-and-plasma-tvs-highly-reliable/</guid><description><![CDATA[An onsite technician came to "fix" the buzz coming from my roommate's plasma (turned out the sound was normal and we just hadn't noticed before, somehow).<br><br>Anyway, he mentioned an interesting fact: he said for every 1 LCD he fixes he fixes 10 plasmas, and for every 1 plasma, 10 DLPs.  Doing a bit of math, we've got an estimated LCD failure rate at 1% that of DLP, at least as far as this technician's experience goes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Raptor007]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 8:54PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
