I'm ready to buy the 5685 but I had a question I hope someone can help with. Does the color wheel have the air bearing or is that only with the newer 2005 models? If not, should I be concerned with the life span?

I would be concerned with the wheel as it spins very fast,and has a high failure rate,let alone rainbows. also only newer models have air,but are failing quite a bit. lcd projection has no moving parts. that is why i switched over to lcd. me and my life partner just love our new sony xs60

DLP Fan,
This guy's a DLP bashing fraud using a form of my handle.
The HL-"R" 5687 has taken the place of the HLP 5685. Here are the specs.
The later P85's with a build date of 05 may have the air bearing color wheel, but I'm not sure. If you pick up a P85 and you hear a high pitch sound in the lamp area 1-800-SAMSUNG will replace it with an air bearing type during the first year. Your extended warranty tech will do the same after that.
