I have an almost 4 year old Samsung DLP TV Model #HL-R6167W. Love the TV but it seems that the picture is much dimmer than before. In fact it's tough to see during the day and to dimm even in the dark of night. Is a a bulb/back-lighting issue? On the side of the TV is a sticker with a Lamp Code: BP96-01472A (P132W)What's my fix?Greg StevensonSpokane, WA
