Electrostatic Discharge from DLP?
I've had a Toshiba 42" DLP since last Thanksgiving and I've finally
figured out that the following happens ONLY when I've been watching the TV (from about 5 or 6 feet away): I get up from the couch and the first conductive thing I touch (doorknob, light switch, etc.), ZAP!!! Is it possible that the TV is throwing off electrons and they're actually reaching me (and building up on me) from 5 or 6 feet away? If so, how can I get the TV to stop doing this? (Also, does anyone know if this might have any health implications?).

Electrostatic Discharge from DLP?
More likely a buildup of charge from the back and forth motion of your arm

There is no high voltage in a DLP set in the first place. The highest voltage in there is for the lamp, certainly no 25000 volts.The only thing coming out of the screen is plain old light. I suspect the humidity is very low right now where you live and it's just a coincidence. I've been having problems at work with static from a chair and sometimes just rolling a cart down the hall. That will change when the humidity goes back up. GG

No it's not possible, any more than a powerful flashlight could. Leonard was just trying to be funny. He's a good guy.
