    Mirrors weren't the problem, bulbs were. Rear projection type sets, regardless of the tech used, relied on that bulb and bulbs tended to burn out too easily. They are also physically larger footprint wise because of the whole projection aspect.

    Are there any details from Samsung about the lifetime of the display?

    Just to clarify, I meant how reflective the screens were. IMO, the screens were so reflective it was like looking in to a mirror. I could see myself, and everything else, in the screen of most of the sets I looked at.
    That's why I got the matte screen.

    Sorry, misread that. I prefer matte screens as well. My current one is relatively reflective with what is apparently an anti-reflective coating on it. Seems to work, but when it is brighter during the day, it is a bit too reflective with dark scenes.
