SAMSUNG BP96-01472A Lamp Replacement SAMSUNG BP96-01472A Lamp Replacement

Pros: Original OEM part not a cheap knock-off

Cons: non

Other Thoughts: Owned this Samsung DLP for 6+ years and first time I had to replace bulb as the picture quality was getting dim. Replaced with the new OEM Philips brand and presto just like I turned it on for the first time. Don't buy the cheap knock-offs it may not work with the rest of your TV components and burn the bulb within a few weeks and cause damage to your TV. Not worth saving a few bucks..

Pros: Installed the bulb in all of about 5 minutes (maybe 10 including moving my tv to an easier location to work on it). The bulb worked right away and is still going strong after over a year. Hopefully it'll last another 4+

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: When this bulb does burn out I guess I'll finally make the jump to LED-LCD, since even Mitsubishi finally discontinued making DLP TVs :(

Pros: Brought my 3 year old dlp back to new

Cons: The last one I purchased from ehay worked but it must have been a used one because it didn't bring the dlp back to new viewing.

Other Thoughts: I bought this one from newegg because I knew it would be a new one.

Pros: works great

Cons: none

Pros: Delivery as per promised day

Cons: It appears that the lamps are not reliable. It may be shelf life causes the lamp to be unstable and burn fast when installed.
My replacement lamp increased intensity linearly when TV's turned on. Maybe warranty by seller or manufacturer should be extended to decrease reorder. The manufacturer could also recall units based on their manufacturing dates!

Pros: The real deal not a cheap aftermarket bulb. Tv just like new nice and bright.

Cons: Didn't come with the housing, but it was easy but in my existing housing.

Other Thoughts: This is an OEM replacement bulb, they're a lot of knockoffs out there. The first bulb I got off A..zon was a cheap aftermarket bulb, it wasn't as bright, and it lasted only 6 months!

Pros: Original Phillips bulb, very bright, not too difficult to install. Shipping was fast, next day even with standard shipping. Newegg is great!

Cons: No directions in box. Found them on outside of box with packing slip after I installed bulb. Lots of good tips, gotchas, do's and don'ts, I'm lucky I didn't break the bulb.

Other Thoughts: Hope this bulb lasts as long as the first.

Pros: 1. The New Egg service was great
2. A perfect bright replacement for the original lamp on the Sumsung HL-S5086 which became really dim after 3 years of service
3. Changing the BARE Lamp is easy and intuitive, just make sure that following assembly the cables don't touch the lamp surface

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: After the replacement my TV began to turn off randomly. This problem was also reported by others. The following actions took care of this problem: 1) cleaning dust accumulated inside the TV using a vacuum; 2) when attached to the back of the TV, the Lamp cover activates a protection switch by physically pressing on it. Apparently, it is not pressing firmly enough all the time. I applied a drop of glue from a hot glue gun to the corresponding surface of the Lamp cover contacting the switch. No more random shutdowns!

Pros: price, reliability

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Problem free purchase
