Has DLP gotten any better? I had a rear projection DLP TV. The bulbs are a decent cost, but then your DLP 'micromirrors' start to fail and the cost isn't really worth maintaining. If that's heat related then I guess the LED source is a boon, but I'm still wary.

Dlp normally doesn't break.
Not sure how you were able to do so.
If you search for 'white dots dlp' you can see examples of output from failing chips. Chips that start doing this seem to have a cascading failure. I replaced one, but eventually the lamps started adding up or the second chip began to fail, I cant recall anymore.
