My husband purchased a 61" hdtv Mitsubishi from Circut City. After purchasing and owning for 6 months the lamp blew. Replacement cost any where from 140.00 to 300.00 depending on model and other stuff. We think by accident a young guy that worked for Circut City told us after of course we bought the tv that the lamps burn out every year to year and a half. So unless you can afford to do this I suggest you steer away from these.
