SAMSUNG BP96-01472A Replacement Lamp with Housing SAMSUNG BP96-01472A Replacement Lamp with Housing

Pros: Easy to replace.
Bright
Improved contrast

Cons: none so far

Pros: Authentic Sylvania bulb like the one that came with the TV (there are many OEMs out there). Extremely well packaged. My original bulb lasted 6 years. This replacement made it look better than it has in years, like the first day I bought it. Hope to get another 6 years from this bulb. Even half that time I would be happy. Beat buying a new TV, especially a 61" model. Would definitely buy from this seller again.

Cons: None yet. Hope to have a similar burn hour with this bulb.

Pros: excellent packing to protect from damage (double boxed with foam surroundings), excellent fit, easy to follow directions

Cons: None

Pros: I checked the code on the old part and found this piece on Newegg. I waited way too long to order this and even considered spending hundreds on a new TV. For around 120 bucks (not including shipping if there even was any) I was able to fix our 5 year old 50" TV and it works like new. Great deal and the part is solid. I have absolutely no complaints.

Cons: None at the time being.

Pros: oh it's like a new tv, It is a new tv the tv looks great and only took about 5min to install. Get the lamp with the houseing makes thinks a snap to install.

Cons: I took the free shipping option with usps DO NOT DO THAT goes from one place to another its free but longer way to get it. go three or two day shipping if you need it fast.

Pros: Disconnect all the a/v cords. Unplug power cord. Two screws off. Pull out the old bulb & housing unit and Push in the new. Two screws on. Plug power cord in. Re-connect all the a/v cords. Push power button to on. Watch TV. So easy. I recommend buying the bulb and the housing all together.

Cons: None.

Pros: I had the light 2 days after ordering, so that is always a great thing. The bulb was easy to swap and works great. The TV looks new again, which helps keep the itch away to buy a new tv. Even the wife say a huge improvement.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I got the bulb with the house for ease of installation. It was $20 more than just the bulb, but totally worth it. The whote process took about 3 minutes to move the tv, open the panel, swap bulbs, replace the panel, and put the tv back. As sensitive as these bulbs are, I didnt want to risk getting anything on it and shortening its life.
