So is it genuine "*Made by Philips, packaged in Retail Philips Box!" or not? Reviewers seem to call this into question.

I suggest you ask the seller exactely what it is. The one I bought was a genuine Phillips, but it was sold by Amazon. Other sellers have to be asked.

Yes. I was very skeptical, as I love the TV, but I took the gamble and it has been like new!

I honestly do not remember about the box, but we chose this one instead of buying less expensive because it was the exact same bulb that was in our television. We looked on the Sony site, then bought from Amazon because it was a little less expensive. We had been warned not to buy a cheap bulb because of poor quality. We are very pleased with this product. When installing, you just have to be careful not to handle it with your hands. Oils from your fingers may cause the bulb to pop, just like any high-intensity bulb. Use a dishcloth or something similar.

its genuine... at least the one I got was genuine... it worked out well, easy enough to change out.

The box does have a Phillips sticker affixed to it. No discernible markings on lamp housing or elsewhere.

They are now listed on the Philips website and are real Philips (at least when bought from Amazon)

Nasser, I do not know for sure but it came to me in the original box so I suspect it is genuine. It works well and feels and sounds like the original I had before this one.

No, mine came in a box that indicated that it was "refurbished" DVD player...Mine has worked fine and have had NO problems with mine. I would buy another if I needed another one.

Yes, this was an unopened retail box. Everything was original and properly sealed.

It certainly appears to be a legit Sony part in typical retail packaging. But the crooks are so good at counterfitting, how can you really ever tell?

Hi Jake! Where did you buy the fake one? We recommend that you purchase your product from a certified Belkin reseller. http://www.belkin.com/us/counterfeits

xavier,I'm glad you got a kick out of that. I think my dry sense of humor is often lost on others.I wonder about these "guarantees". I seriously beat this subject to death w/ this guy at pioneer. I made him say, in several different ways, that the manufacturing of such a device in this country is illegal. So that means one of 3 things must be true: these guarantees are worthless, these particular DVD players have been illegally modified, or the guy I talked to was completely full of it.In my view, all are equally probable.

@Ben, what i bought clearly says bought from amazon.com LLC. Do not try to talk generically, a lot of us do research and I make sure even if it is costly i buy from amazon.com only (i mean seller as amazon.com). This one is a white box , though amazon said it is retail and even the box has a sticker with "retail" in it. Also amazon needs to be careful, the way it shows retailers is confusing , there are lot who can buy from cheap knock off retailers without knowing anything.

I have not installed them yet. The boxes mine came in were a cheap replica of the original box, so I doubt I got genuine PHILIPS bulbs even though it has all the Philips markings on the bulb. The box did not have the imagine scan on the side of the box to check for authenticity, even though it was advertised with the exact image yours shows.

Original meaning that you're getting it in the manufactured box? No. I received it in a plain brown box with the label printed on the front and manual inside. It stated that it was new. No scratches, so I'm guessing it's "original". Other than that, superb product!

Mostly likely they are real. I watched reviews on YouTube and the packaging was the same thing. But I don't know if the seller is secretly selling used ones and listing them as new.

It is genuine, however it is not boxed. It is in it's plastic casing. I assume these are leftover from manufacturers (such as Lenovo) who no longer use them.

The one I received is a genuine Toshiba instead of just a generic one, so it is original Toshiba in my case. I am not sure for anyone else.

These particular brushes are genuine Philips replacement heads. There are other generic brushes on the market of questionable quality. But, these are the "real deal"!

Mine did come in the retail box, yes.I should point out, though, that I bought mine from a different seller. So, as others have stated, there is no guarantee.
