if you think about it, it is impossible for any game to be too graphicly intense for a TV and cause it to break. the console is the one who is rendering the graphics. it just sends a video to the TV to display. if gfx could kill your TV then almost all TVs would break very quickly because you cant get any better gfx than real life. in that case, movies would be killing TVs left and right. it just happened to burn out while you were playing your Wii. if you were playing your Xbox or PS2, it would have still happened. your just gonna have to buy a new bulb

You are what we forum folk call fags. "I like to get under people's skin, wah!". "My Wii broke my tv, wah!" Do us all a favour and piss off.

What type of rear projection is your set? CRT rear projection? LCD rear projection? DLP?

Panasonic has released a couple of DLP models, many LCD rear projection models, and a slough of CRT rear projection models in the past.

CRT rear projection sets are susceptible to burn in, but have no bulbs to pop. If you're sure it was a bulb, it's likely LCD rear projection, "3LCD".

LCD rear projection sets have bulbs to pop. This is likely what you have since Panasonic didn't experiment with DLP until fairly recently. Rear projection TV sets with bulbs generally have bulbs that last from 2000-8000, with the typical around 5000 hours. Since your set is a few years old, it use bulbs with "long" life expectancies of about 3000 hours.

At 3000 hours, if you use the TV just 2 hours a day, expect it to last about four years. Also, since there are elements within the bulbs, they will deteriorate over time. Three years on a TV used very little isn't unreasonable at all, actually.

Yeah I have a LCD rear projection. It just sucks that I need to replace the bulb now. I guess it would make sense that it would bust when I use it for >3 hours after not using it for a couple months. sigh guess it's time to buy a plasma instead

ok well i read only about halfway through the 2nd page of posts, and the first thing i noticed is that you all jumped on this kids back very quickly, you didnt even hear him out, for all you know, the title Wii Broke my TV could have been "We" broke my tv, and now i know what ur saying "this kids a moron too, he didnt even read the rest" well i did, and i know that it proves thats not what he meant, but my point is you jumped on his back way to quickly...give the kid a break.

I read every post before I made my first post. I had information to back someone elses psot up, and my flame wasn't personal, but a general flame to blind consumers.
