My Sony Wega TV is about 5 years old. The picture was getting bad. In fact sometimes it was so dark I could barely see what was going on.
I assumed that a new lamp would require an expensive service call. So I was considering getting a new TV.
Sure enough, the lamp replacement warning came up Tuesday. I looked in the manual and the instructions seemed pretty straightforward. I found a new lamp on Amazon was only $85.
Hmm. $85 versus $500 to $750 for a new TV.
I ordered the lamp from Amazon Tuesday evening around 7. By the time I got home from work yesterday, it was waiting for me.
The step by step instructions were perfect. I had the lamp replaced within 15 minutes, and that included moving the entertainment center to get to the back of the TV.
I turned the TV on, and the picture was beautiful.
The lamp replacement even came with a prepaid mailer to recycle the old bulb.
Very pleased.
