Query: Disappointed with life of lamp

I have had the Panasonic PT40LC12 40" 16:9 Widescreen Projection LCD Display for 26 months now. I am currently waiting on Circuit City to replace the 2nd lamp in the unit. After the first lamp one went out within 12 months, I bought another extended warranty after the original 24 month warranty had expired. It wasn't a month later that the 2nd lamp has now gone out.It looks as though they are going to require replacing every year, which will be very expensive to maintain. Even though the unit has a great picture, I have found the maintenance problems to not be worth the purchase. Also, it has taken Circuit City over 1 week since first calling them and I still haven't got the unit repaired.I would not buy one of these again and especially from Circuit City.
