Almost 2.5 years now.... and like I said.. the thing is on constantly.

If I had had them as "spares" sitting around eating up warranty time, I'd be out $400. As I didn't do that, they blew within the warranty period, and so what, I was without tv for a few days. I picked up a 16" tube tv for emergency use for about $120. Net savings.
I'm willing to take the chance... I did some searching around and it appears that stock is often a problem.
