1.0 out of 5 stars STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR!! HORRIBLE!!, December 4, 2007

When I saw the price of $125, I thought it was too good to be true since most other places were selling the COMPLETE lamp assembly for around $40-$50 more. Well, it was. This Vendor (Vann's) displays a picture of the whole replacement lamp assembly (which is the normal part as per Sony), but they ship you ONLY the LAMP with no housing and no instructions and its not even a Sony lamp, some Osram P22H bulb you can buy online for less then $100. In addition, the box they ship it in has no protection whatsoever except for a little cardboard. I was planning to return this until I realized they charge a 20% restocking fee which was never disclosed in the listing for the product. Also, to install just the lamp requires ALOT of time and work to dissassemble the housing. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!

I'm not sure about this product, especially its source. I purchased this lamp and less than 30 days later, it failed. The vendor said he would ship out a replacement immediately even though his policy was to wait for the item to be returned to be checked out. I sent the item that very day and he got it less than two days later. Here it is five days after his promise and I still haven't rec'd my replacement. Is my shipping capability better than his? We're an old retired couple and that lamp means that we can't use our TV set until we get that lamp.

Ordered this replacement bulb and it arrived quickly and was exactly as described. The complete unit (bulb and housing) was exactly what I was looking for and it was manufactured by Phillips. No issues with the ordering and it was at a great price.
