'canes2004 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 What kind of TV's do you have that necessitate changing a bulb? I think I want to avoid that when looking for a new TV. It's a Sony SXRD 50" LCD. It's only 2 years old with maybe about 1500 hours on it. Come to find out NOW that the lamp life on the Sony's isn't what they advertise it is. Your supposed to get 8,000 hours before changing the lamp but my set is no where near that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazen Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Don't touch the bulb with your hand, use a clean cloth or just touch the bulb assembly. Other than that, it's very simple...less than a 10 minute fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
