I have never seen comparison bulb hours from any real study (people's impression would be nothing more than a guess). The only way to really know would be for a magazine to get the two displays and let them run in parallel to see which bulb lasted longer, and I doubt such a test has ever been done. My guess is that they are about the same. IMO, that's not the best way to choose a display.

Well I think when you talk about price of maintnance on 2 TV's which you think are both excellent in display. It makes as a nice tie breaker, ya know.


From what I herd the A2020 is around 8k hours and the Sammy DLP is around 2k though.

The Samsung number you state is way off. Samsung bulbs also last about 8k hours (I'm still on my very first bulb on my 3 1/2 year old Samsung DLP).
