I ordered a replacement bulb for my Samsung HLR5678WX/XAA. The internal brown box holding the bulb was stamped genuine Philips replacement. It was easy to install and continues to work without issues. I'm very happy with my purchase. Related install videos are on the internet if needed.

These lamps are not SONY original equipment - they are made to specs by another manufacturer. Unfortunately they are not the same quality as SONY OEM products and also not the same price. I have been disappointed with the product for 2 reasons - (1) the quality of the product is reflected in the quality of my TV screen and (2) they last for a very short time and then burn out. Hope this helps in some way.

Hey James. Yes the bulb is original, but check exactly the model that corresponds exactly to your projector. I bought it like 4 years ago, but it lasted only two times since the bulb didn't fit exactly in its place, so it (lightly) exploited and burned a part of my projector. I guess if I had bought the exact same piece, then it would have been different.However, when you have the original bulb and the new one in your hands, check if the size and figure its the same. Mine didn't and took the stupid risk. So check before changing it, if not, you're still on time to return it.

I am not positive if it was an actual "SONY" replacement lamp, because there were some minor differences in the welding but there was no problems with installation and it works great so far. I have been using this replacement for about 2 months now and I haven't noticed a reduction in picture quality or anything. The item description might say that filters are included, but I have never received them...

No it is not an original philips bulb. The one I received had a made in mexico sticker on the back of it. Yesterday I installed a bulb I ordered from Philips website since I was having issue with flicker from this bulb. Unlike the one I ordered from Amazon, the one I ordered from Philips came in a Philips box, with instructions on how to install and warranty paperwork. It looks slightly different than the one I got from Amazon. More importantly the Philips bulb had no flicker and a better picture.

That's what mine looked like. I think they sell this same lamp under different names so the box we got was the generic box.

Yes, it is an OEM bulb from Phillips. It has been working in my TV for over a year with no problems.

Make sure that the replacement bulb is a sony. The other ones start to go bad as soon as you put them in. You really can't tell if the bulb is any good because you are comparing it to the one that now defective. The sony I purchased is working fine better then any off brand I ever bought.

They are much cheaper now that they have been discontinued by the manufacturer. Just make sure it exactly matches your TV model and it is the bulb and housing. Take yours out of your TV and look at it. I could tell from the photo that it was the correct one.

No this is not a true Sony bulb. No it does not arrive in a Sony box. But my tv model number matched my tv model and the housing got perfectly. No need to swap bulbs to old housing. Plug and play for my model

Yep. A Phillips bulb will have their stamp on the bulb itself. They had a flyer in the package that gave that info I looked and sure enough right on the bulb was the Phillips logo. I would order a Phillips and return the knock off.

When I reveived the replacement bulb, it came in a squate housing, The entire housing slides out. So when you replace the bulb, you are actually replacing both the housing and the bulb. When I ordered the bulb, I received the bulb in the housing.

The one I received in the mail was an actual Sharp brand bulb and was noticeably better than the other off-brands; however, I've seen comments here by others saying the bulb they received was not OEM, so I don't know what's up with that.

sony lamps will come with the entire housing in addition to the bulb. my experience has been that any of the ones you see on amazon going for $50/$60 are fakes and will burn out within a few months. if it's that cheap, it's not going to be a OEM part. i wouldn't trust any of the ones on amazon going for less than about $90.

I didn't see Sony printed anywhere so I assume it is an aftermarket. Most of the bulbs offered were running about $39. I tried the $50 bulb and it worked.

I am not sure. The housing was very generic and made in Mexico. So I sent it back. I ordered one from the same company that was about $15.00 more expensive because it had a one year warranty. The housing on it is even cheaper looking than the less expensive unit and does not have the screens or heat deflectors like the original. It is guaranteed to be a Phillips/Osram bulb which is like the original. I installed it and was amazed that my TV looks like a new one again. Just have to hope it lasts. My original lasted about 4 years.
