Philips Lighting Sony KDF-55E2000 KDF55E2000 Lamp with Housing XL2400

This bulb/housing was purchase to replace one on a 5 year old 50" Sony Grand Wega. Amazing the bulb lasted so long but recently the picture was looking darker and muddy. We weren't sure because the change was so gradual and who remembers what the picture was like 5 years ago.

I was a little nervous, because I didn't know how hard it would be to change the bulb and I had read a lot of negative review about generic bulbs on the market. But Phillips makes a great product, so I am glad we sprang for the additional cost, for peace of mind. Beside the generic only saves $15-20. Just not worth it.

The good news is the bulb arrived very fast (ahead of the estimated delivery) and replacing the bulb (that comes in the housing) took all of 2 minutes, no tools required. Anyone can do it.

The great news is the picture is now so bright we need sunglasses - okay, kidding, but the difference was amazing and we did turn down the tv's brightness. I forgot how bright these tvs are. Great when using it in a well lit room.

Thanks! Very happy.
