Do We Need A New Bulb Or What?

We've had our TV 4+ years.  Over the last few weeks it's been developing small white dots on the screen.  I think we're up to 13-15 now.  Is this indivative of the bulb needing replacement?

The problem is a stuck mirror on the chip.  The chip contains millions of these mirrors and if they get stuck into a position you get the white dot or black dot depending on which position the mirror stops in.  Contact Samsung and explain the problem.  It's my understanding they have been repairing this problem even if your DLP is no longer under warranty.
