How different is picture quality compared to the original lamp?

Picture quality was the same but we were using the projector near a commercial kitchen (with a fryer) and we think the grease caused a lot of problems with the optics in the projector. After about 3 months the projector no longer works with the original or new lamp. Also you will need your old metal housing for the lamp bulb as this replacement will not fit the projector so you have to carefully swap the new bulb into the original housing. I would send the projector back to the manufacturer but we are in Costa Rica which complicates the return process. Essentially I have a projector that is basically a good door stop now.

very very clear. I am very satifiy with this lamp. I liked the other one as well had no clue that this one was even better. its almost like you can reach out and touch. Hope that I have answered your question. if you are on the fence about buying this lamp don't be. buy it you won't be sorry.

Yes for some reason these cheap replacement lamps burn hotter than the ones made by Phillips for sony. You don't want to keep using it as it can damage your TV. I have returned the ones I bought through Amazon and have bought one made by Phillips elsewhere. If you look at some of the reviews some of the people complained about the bulbs melting the plastic of their TV's

I'm not sure I don't want you to purchase the wrong lamp, I put in the model number from my JVC and it showed me the best lamp for me, and it's working perfectly, I have to order another one so that I may have a spare, like a spare tire. lol.

It is a lot brighter, just has a different light hue. The newer one is more white and first version is yellowish. It is brighter to me by a long shot. Get one

It appears to me that the importer is a bit remiss in dealing with the details. In addition to the discrepancy in brightness, he also lists two different wattage ratings. I suspect that he is now selling the 20-watt version of this light, vs. the older 18-watt version, and simply botched the ratings. (1650-lumens)/(18-watts) = 91.7-lumens/watt(1950-lumens)/(20-watts) = 97.5-lumens/wattBoth of these figures are VERY efficient, and replace fluorescent tubes VERY well.

Actually it is not although, for the price, it is paired perfect. It's been a few months since I installed it (which was very easy) and obviously since the picture is so much sharper the lamp was going for awhile. I would recommend this replacement - for the money - if it only lasts a year it's certainly better than 2K for a new TV!

I received the correct lamp when I ordered mine. However, I cannot remember whether the picture was representative of the product or not at the time of my purchase. Good luck.

I don't know. Mine is a 4400. I didn't think lamp replacement would be a problem - but it is! It seems that slides are obsolete! If you do replace the bulb, be careful putting it in. Wear gloves because even a microdrop of body oil will cause the wretched thing to explode. I found THAT out the hard way! If the cost of a Powerpoint projector ever gets reasonable, I guess I'll have to make the switch.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws.Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

I ordered this lamp based on the replacement sticker on the side of my TV. check your sticker. Other than that i have had no problem with the lamp. it made my image super bright again.

I didn't have this problem with mine but I'm not sure the lamp I received was a Sony lamp. I contacted Sony and was told there are a lot generic brands that are not the same quality of Sony lamps, mine is just not as bright as original..though I hate to spend the extra $ for Sony brand, though it's 10 years old it's still a great tv

I found that it was unnecessary to remove the lamp and place it into the original housing. The new housing was an exact duplicate of the original. The vents and reinforcements were identical to the original housing. I have had the new lamp installed for 45 day and it is still performing. Rod

did the tv do this before the lamp was replaced? Same results using the old lamp?

Increase the backlight of the plasma if you want to compare them at similar levels of brightness. Consider what you will be watching (b750 handles standard definition DVD's and programing better), is sharper, and can be brighter for well lit rooms whereas the plasma will have more natural flow of high speed motion, better blacks when your lights are down, and "picture quality". Really, I find that "picture quality" is "signal quality" of the program you are watching and how well your machine can display it. LCD's have less blurring than before, plasmas have less burn in and ghosting, and to be dead honest with you- most of us are not videophiles and will not see the difference. I bought the b750 on sale and its very good and playing high definition and standard definition. I am particularly happy with it because most things I watch are NOT blue ray and the TV does an overall good job handling that media. It also looks nice which is a plus. Best of luck...

I do not know about the comparison. I have never seen a plasma that I cared for the picture. This Sony was not good as it came from the factory. I had lots of problems setting the color, but it is very good now.

I replaced a 12V/5W krypton incandescant "MR8" size lamp with it. Worked great. Runs cooler, was brighter. ("MR8" is a standard bulb size for this type of lamp_ Maybe the color wheel motor will last longer now. It's in the Xmas ornament and stored away. I did find the bad one I took out, still on the workbench (which it replaced nicely): That measures 2.5 cm diameter at top (just under 1"), and height is ~2.6cm(1") from top of glass to bottom of glass (not counting the pins)

We sell lamps against this listing and the truth is - no they are not made to the same specification as the OEM version. Neither are they likely to last as long. The difference is that the OEM version costs $300+ whilst the compatibles cost $50+. It is also true to say that the quality of compatibles varies from supplier to supplier. We source ours from an ISO9001 accredited manufacturer whilst some of our competitors may not. At the end of the day there is a choice between quality and price and each customer will have different criteria. All our lamps do however, come with a 90 day warranty so it is not a complete gamble.
