I don't understand 'back' to CRTs when that Samsung IS a CRT.

What am I missing? BTW why is it on 24/7? Even if a Samsung DLP reached
its projected 8000 hr lamp life, you'd use it up in 11 months. Also, if
you DID run the dead one 24/7, you've got over 13000 hrs on it. As of
last night, my DLP has 3916 hrs on the original lamp (25 months) but we
do turn it off.
Good luck on the next one. In your case, buy the extended warranty.
