You need to do your homework. DLP has 1/10th the failure rate of it's
nearest competitor. The quartz micro-hinges that each mirror sets on is
rated in the tens or hundreds of millions of cycles, and are as reliable as
the oscillators in a watch or a clock.

In the 1080p DLP models, there are over 2 million micromirrors.

The entire design is more reliable than any other form, and is immune to
problems like image convergence, burn-in, color shifting and lag that plague
plasma and LCD. DLP technology has taken all the top awards at CES for 7
years running.

The Smithsonian has a DLP based screen that has run 24/7 since July, 1986
without a single failure of any mirror.
