No, it is Philips brand if I remember correctly. I purchased one a while back and I can't remember exactly. I do not believe Sony actually makes these lamps, even when we first got this TV.

I believe it is a Phillips brand, and if you are using it for the Sony rear projection TV...do not bother. It barely lasted a year due to other problems with the Sony rear projections. People have demanded a recall, but Sony ignores everybody and offers a terrible buy back program. I no longer buy Sony. I've switched to Samsung and their TVs are great.

Yes, it is a genuine Sony part. My tv wasn't very old, and I was not happy when the screen went bad! I bought another tv because I thought it would be expensive to fix. A friend of mine told me I just needed a lamp and after finding it on the Sony website, someone told me to get it on Amazon. That was over a year ago. It took my friend about 5 minutes to put it in, and my tv has been working great ever since! Five stars!

According to the user manual for SONY KDF-E42A10 tv, the Sony XL-2400 lamp is the correct replacement lamp

It is the correct lamp for that TV, BUT the housing is poorly made and has fitment issues. It ruined my TV, so be careful.

I believe, the supplier offers the warranty, not the manufacturer "if" it is indeed the EXACT lamp....

Had to return mine. Installed it and worked for one day. When it comes to your sets bulb you should only replace it with either a genuine sony part or a phillips bulb. I learned the hard way too. I found a bulb that works perfectly at, "Discount-Merchant.com" cost me $100.00. Its has a Phillips lamp in it. Good luck

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...

It's a knockoff. Return it to amazon. I bought two of these a year ago, with one coming from Amazon and one from an Amazon reseller. The reseller's cable was complete junk and an obvious knockoff, not a real Sony product. I'd return it immediately.

I had the same issue with the lamp. I tried 3 different ones including the one Sony sells. All were bad. Had to change the TV.

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

No where on the lamp I received Sony was mentioned. I do realize that Amazon does business with various distributors. You might or might not receive a Sony lamp. Nonetheless my lamp sony or not works fine.

When I got mine, the Sony part number was printed on the package. So I'm pretty confident that they're genuine Sony.

Yes Amanda it is. Still working after almost 2. Months, but the screen still show the message that " replace the lamp"

It is a genuine Sony part. I have one and I love it. It works great and the price is unbeatable. It's not one of those Sony look alike chargers. You won't be disappointed.

I don't remember, but it wasn't the Phillips like I was replacing. I don't even think it said Sony. I believe it was generic, but it's working great so far.
