I still have the image ghosted on the screen...not real impressed with that. I don't remember it being there before the bulb went on it.

BTW, go to your store and ensure you get it in writing that the bulb is covered. I was told the same thing when I got my TV 2 years ago. When I thought my bulb had gone earlier this year, Future Shop service on the 1-800 number informed me that bulbs are not covered under the extended service plan. Turns out my bulb is fine (for now), but if does go within my 4 year plan (which it almost certainly will), I expect to have to go through a drag-em-out throw down with the Home Theater manager at Future Shop to get them to do what they said they would do.
Oh, and never buy a floor model. Too late for this time, but keep it in mind for next time.
