5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly with my Sony WEGA KDF-E42A10, May 18, 2010

My lamp blew out on my Sony WEGA KDF-E42A10. Now I know that a lamp can give you about 4 years of good service. We have our TV on more than we should, so 4 years is probably a decent average.

I bought this, tossed the instructions that came in the box because they didn't apply to my TV (I was able to download the TV's owner's manual online) and followed my TV Manual's instructions.
Wait for the TV to cool (no problem for me, as my TV was out for two days before I got this new replacement in the mail)
Open a hatch door
Open another door
Pull out the lamp
Stick the new one in. It clicks when it's in. Close the door, close the other door, and you're done!

My TV looks better and brighter than the day I bought it.

*******************

It's now 1 month later, and my TV picture has started getting REALLY dim. It's practically too dim to watch during the daytime, and it's very dim at night. For non-HD channels, you can practically forget about getting good picture. This may be a dud; it has to be. But for the price of these things, I can't afford duds.

1.0 out of 5 stars AVOID!! BUY ACTUAL OEM (SONY) ONLY!!!, August 29, 2010

Bought this for a Sony KDF-E50A10. Description says this bulb is compatible, IT IS NOT!

Bulb will fit into housing, however the TV does not recognize this off-brand bulb and will not work properly. TV will turn on for about a second and then the screen goes black with the flashing green light. TV stays in this continuous cycle and will not work.

Returned the bulb once and got the replacement while I was on vacation. Tried the second bulb upon returning and TV will still not function and it was too late to return again. So now I'm out the $150 and still don't have a working TV.

Learn from my experience, if you're looking to replace the lamp for a Sony KDF-E50A10 AVOID THIS LAMP! Buy the OEM from Sony direct. It's worth your piece of mind!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as bright as I had expected/hoped for, February 19, 2012

Had this Sony LCD TV and the picture was getting dimmer (I'm guessing the bulb is about four years old or so)... and hard to watch TV .. I had to put the picture/contrast to max (98% or so) and still it was dim causing text on the screen (such as the Wega Gate menu display) hard to read.

So decided to buy this lamp, which includes the housing.

Package arrived in about seven days. Packaging looks good and the unit looked new (the reflector inside the housing looked shiny, compared to my old bulb).

Took me several tries to put the new into the TV correct for it to recognize.

It works okay... I'm not sure if it's my expectations or not... but the picture was not as bright as I had hoped or expected. Roughly speaking, it seems just 30% brighter than the old bulb--at about the same picture/contrast setting. It's just brigter so that the Wega Gate menu is easier to read and not so dim.

And comparing it to a CRT Sony HDTV TV, it (the new bulb and LCD TV) is STILL not as bright...

So, overall, I'm not sure if it's just me, or if this bulb should be brighter (or maybe some other component in the LCD TV itself is causing the dimness)... but I am a little disappointed....

.. still I figure I'd just keep this, as I'm not sure if returning it for another will make any difference.. or maybe a true Philips bulb would be brighter?
