So i traded 2 30-minute chair massages and $100 for a big screen tv.
I could tell when i got it that it was thicker than LCD/LED but i was not yet familiar with rear projection.
After awhile the screen started getting darker and kinda green.
I googled and youtubed, then ordered a new bulb.
I read that it was beneficial to clean the heat sinks and fans to help disapate heat.
So i pulled the whole assembly out and cleaned everything.
When i first powered up afterward, the image was like an acid trip. I easily found one cable that was not properly seated.
The tv is still darker than others and over time 2 pinholes have appeared, but i still think it was a pretty good trade.
I love playing kinect games on a big screen!
