Either you watch a whole lot of TV or there's something going on with your
set. A typical rear-projection bulb's 2000-hour lamp life works out to more
than 5 hours a day of use, every day of the year.
If you do use a projector that much then, certainly, a warranty that covers
lamps and a sharp eye for lamp bargains are appropriate. So would be a
different choice of technology, one that doesn't go through expensive and
hard-to-recycle consumables quite so fast, IMO.
