I went to my local Tweeter last year to possible purchase a Samsung DPL set. The manager told that technology was found to be defective and that Samsung had recalled all such DLP sets! To prove his point he showed me a computer screen (very quickly) that was supposed to show the number of Samsung DPL sets Tweeter had sold and the number that were back for repairs. Although there was not enough time to really read the screen his point was that virtually all of them had broken. He would be happy to sell me a plasma, however.
This chain didn't know the technology and apparently didn't train its staff in anything but making the fast buck.
I see their demise as being a factor of an informed high end customer base not willing to deal with know nothings.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
To add to the chorus: Good Riddance.
