After all that rough treatment I plugged it in and it did not even need a lens realignment. It is ten years old and gets a fantastic HD picture. I kinda miss the old war horse already. If it dies tomorrow I will consider it money well spent.

On thing to remember when buying a flat screen TV/monitor is that our eyes are not fast enough to tell the difference between an 850P and a 1080P. Save some money and get a high quality 850P. I am going TV shopping this weekend to replace the Sony and will see if I can tell any difference between the two.
You know my Toshiba DLP is going on 7 years .....except for the lamp replacements it does has worked well and provides an excellent picture.
I was expecting the Toshiba LCD I have to last a bit longer...hopefully a inverter board replacement can fix it.
