Also as I remember without any added ventilation Samsung recommends keeping 6 inches of free space between Tv and the wall. It wouldn't be too hard to add a small amount of ventilation to move it closer to a wall as most of the heat comes from one small area.

It's a rather common issue with this TV. As I remember it's commonly caused by the audio chip over-heating over long terms. And the issue does seem to be related to the temp of those chips.

I have seen people use other DLP Projectors to make rather interesting 3d printers. Basically this TV is just going to sit here doing nothing... until I toss it out sometime in the future. Which seems like a waste to me as I am sure it has some value.

>> If it’s the floor standing kind, we probably have no room for it as floorspace commands a real premium @ 10BitWorks. On the other hand if it’s thin, wall mountable (VESA) style, and it has an HDMI interface it might fit right in to a current effort (classroom /entertainment video/audio system for the Studio room).
