So I replaced the bulb again under a 1yr warranty I got on the last one, and it only lasted a week. I heeded all of your suggestions, from making sure that I installed it with a glove to taking a whole can of air to the inside of the TV and cooling fan. Right now I've got a dead DLP, run through four bulbs.

What now? Is it really worth it to find a TV repair shop, get them to diagnose the issue? I really don't like buying $100 bulbs, but I like less the idea of throwing out a $1000 TV.

Bulb: BP96-01653A
TV: HL-S4676S
