Replacing a DLP Lamp — Just the Bulb
14 March 2008 – 3:55 pmMany DLP televisions, and particularly the Samsung brand TVs, the replacement lamp is a lamp with a large enclosure. I wrote a post a few years ago on how to replace the entire DLP lamp unit.
Over the months, I’ve had many, many people ask me about whether it’s a good idea to just change out the lamp itself in these units. More and more online stores are making these available.
Until now, I haven’t really been able to answer that question. But recently, I’ve had the opportunity to test it out.
I’m happy to say that the procedure is very easy, and since I’ve been running one of these lamps in my television for a few weeks now, the picture quality is very good.
Instead of doing my typical cookbook procedure with pictures, I thought I’d do a video.
If you want to buy a replacement lamp, you can get them from these partner sites:

The video was wonderful and self explanatory. Unfortunately the company from which i ordered sent me a wrong bulb.

That was great! You saved me money on doing it myself. Great job with the viedo.
I will be doing this myself. Will let you know how I do.
