It looks like the color wheel in my Toshiba 52HMX85 is shot. Sadly the color wheel is no longer available from Toshiba as a single part and I have to get an entirely new light engine. The repair guy quoted me $775 plus taxes (I think that includes a new bulb as well).
My question is this, would you guys recommend I repair it, or just spring for a new (LCD?) set? I paid about $2700 only 4 years ago for this thing, so it seems like I'm not getting my money's worth out of it yet, and $800 for repairs is only half to a third of what a new TV would cost. On the other hand, that set in working order, probably isn't worth more than $800 right now.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have. Thanks
