Anyone ever change a DLP bulb?
My DLP bulb just went poof. Samsung 61-inch and I’ve had it for 3 years. Got about 7500 hours before it went. Anybody ever change one of these things?
Answer #1: Beats a dropped pixel in an LCD. Thats a great thing about DLP. You pop in a new lamp and you’ve got a new TV and another 5000+ hrs of fabulous HD. Lamps can be had cheaper if you shop around - as low as $179 on eBay. I usually keep a backup in the house.
Answer #2: It’s actually a pretty easy swap. It’s usually expensive, but if you can find the right bulb it’s much cheaper than a new TV.
