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.

The R87 has the new faster chip, though.
