...unless your friend is talking about the lamp, then all you have to do is replace it. Depending on your viewing time the lamp would last for 1-2 years.

Yeah, I have to second this. It looks like your friend took one of the negatives of a rear projection set and made a big deal out of it. Like BigCN said, your lamp will last about a year or two before you need to replace it. This is assuming, of course, that you're watching 8 hours of TV per day.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So anyways it was bought after Christmas sales so I shouldn't have any problems anytime soon right?

Also out of curiosity how much would a "lamp" cost?

You shouldn't have any problems with your set, and if you want to be safe rather than sorry, check out its thread over on AVS. BTW, lamps are around $150 to $200 depending on manufacturer.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
