Item description said it was a "Philips" bulb, but what I received was an "AMLamps" bulb (which generally retail for about 1/4-1/3 the price I paid).

Seller claimed the wrong one was sent, and provided RMA. Seller also said they would reimburse my return shipping, but I never saw the $6.85 USPS postage credited back to my card.

Ultimately, the lamp I received the second time was labeled "Philips", so I feel that I have gotten what I ordered, but the hassle of RMAing what I initially received makes this a questionable value. Next time I'll probably just shop elsewhere.

If I could give them a cracked egg I would! We ordered a replacement bulb for our 65 inch Mitsubishi Tv. The bulb took 2 weeks to get to us... Once installed it worked fine but starting causing our Tv to heat up. After only 2 months the bulb went out and became completly inoperable! I have gone back to the item number here on Newegg and I find it very odd that there are only two reviews that are wonderful but none that tell the truth about the part or about the company that sold the part. Newegg needs to do itself a favor and cut ties with a company that is selling subpar parts and not standing behind them. What a joke. I will never purchase from Newegg again.

this was not an OEM part. The screw/bolts would not fit. I had to re-fit the lamp housing with the old hardware.

Part ordered on the 21st, Tracking number issued the same day with the notation "SHIPPED"

later revised as "Electronic Shipping Info Received" on the 25th.

Part delivered on the 28th, one week later.

misleading shipping info, late delivery and a non conforming non-OEM part that required modification.

I'm wondering how long before it burns out.

The bulb for my DLP TV came quickly but would not work. I emailed New Egg and received some automated email answer saying how rare it is and it must be a different problem. I removed the bulb from new egg from the housing from new egg and put it in the old housing from the burnt out bulb and was finally able to get my TV on. New Egg still has not replied or sent me a replacement. You have lost several customers over this.

I'm really surprised that Newegg is still allowing this company to list products with them. The lamp I got blew out within two days and when I emailed them about returning it, they tried to blame my television even though I told them that another bulb was working just fine in it. Now Newegg and SoCal are blowing me off and won't refund my money even though I shipped the defective bulb back to them. They received it two weeks ago and I still have no refund. I've emailed Newegg and SoCal several times with no response from either. I will never use Newegg again and am really thinking about filing a small claims lawsuit against SoCal. I know that court costs are going to be far more expensive than this bulb was, but it's a matter of right versus wrong.

The bulb seemed great until it went dead after 2 minutes. I called customer service and they kept telling me that the problem is my TV as the bulb is new.

I had to send it back to them to do a test to see if it was the bulb. They would not pay for me to send it back (about $12 to ship) and there was talk of me having to pay them $20 to have them reship it back to me if they determined the bulb was fine. I didn't really have a choice so I sent it back because it was dead.

I never got an email that it arrived or that they did the test. I called them a few days later and they told me they were going to ship me a new bulb. They also claimed that the bulb they sent me was fine but they were sending me a new one anyways. (Then why send a new one?)

When I asked if they would overnight the bulb, they said I'd have to pay for that even though they sent me a bad bulb. They never reimbursed me for the initial shipping and the overall process took a month to get my TV working.

the worst product ever. it last 3 weeks

STILL WAITING ON REFUND FOR NON WORKING REPLACEMENT LAMP.. NO ISSUES WITH MY TV LIKE THE TECH TRIED TELLING ME THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH MY TV. ORDERED NEW LAMP FROM ANOTHER COMPANY AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE TV

I bought this thinking it was OEM (original equipment manufacturer) It was NOT. It was a cheap copy like the kind you can buy for $35.00
