This is an LCD rear projection HDTV that has the problem (as all of these types of TVs no matter the manufacturer) where the heat from the lamp destroys the small LCD panels over time. They do make a rebuilt optical engine for a fraction of the new part, but this price is still too high for most pocket books, especially when the customer realizes that the new one will go bad in 4-6 years. Manufacturer Hitachi Part Number UX22201DR Description OPTICAL ENGINE ASSY List $236.00

after the core is returned ($50). Expect $200 installation charge if you take it to a shop.
