I bought a 58 inch Hewlett-Packard HD DLP tv in March of 2006. the model is md5880n. It had a one year warranty, that expired in March of 2006. I paid about $3800.00 for the television.

The tv picture went bad on July 31, 2007. I called HP and they scheduled in home repair for August 2, 2007. The cost for the repair person to come to my home was $250.00.

The repair person, after talking with HP tech support, said it needed 3 parts, a $300.00 bulb, another part for about $800.00 and a third part for about $2900.00. The total cost of the parts to repair were more than the original cost of the television. Needless to say, I did not have the set repaired and now do not have an HD TV.

Base upon my previous experience with HP printers, I thought the TV would be of good quality. That was not the case, and I will never buy another product from Hewlett Packard.
