The product advertised states that its by Sony. Is this a full Sony product, or only the Bulb Assembly? Who manufactures the bulb?

Our listing of this projector lamp is the Original Lamp from Sony. It's the same as the lamp that came with your projector when it was new.

The box has no sign of the Sony name. One end says "a north American product" the other end says "made in mexico" as well as the bulb itself. I did not get the memo that north America had moved to mexico.

Make sure that the replacement bulb is a sony. The other ones start to go bad as soon as you put them in. You really can't tell if the bulb is any good because you are comparing it to the one that now defective. The sony I purchased is working fine better then any off brand I ever bought.

Had to return mine. Installed it and worked for one day. When it comes to your sets bulb you should only replace it with either a genuine sony part or a phillips bulb. I learned the hard way too. I found a bulb that works perfectly at, "Discount-Merchant.com" cost me $100.00. Its has a Phillips lamp in it. Good luck

I'm not sure if it comes with a warranty, we bought it as a spare because it has a five Star. We just had to use it and it works fine. The only thing is , for the first three days it had a plastic burning smell , but now the smell is gone. If you buy this bulb at Sony it costs $250.00

These lamps are not SONY original equipment - they are made to specs by another manufacturer. Unfortunately they are not the same quality as SONY OEM products and also not the same price. I have been disappointed with the product for 2 reasons - (1) the quality of the product is reflected in the quality of my TV screen and (2) they last for a very short time and then burn out. Hope this helps in some way.

I bought this bulb and another similar priced bulb. Both had a dark red streak across the top. So I contacted Sony and bought their bulb for a lot more $. I am supposed to get in around 1/4. Bottom line - the cheaper replacement bulbs just didn't 't work for me. Good luck.

Ironically, even though I bought this in April, I didn't try installing it until the day before your question arrived. The good news is that it is both the bulb and the housing. The bad news is that although the part number is the same one I purchased the last time I replaced the bulb, the housing didn't fit into the TV. I am in the process of trying to return the product or have somebody tell me why it didn't fit properly. Hope this helps. Nice TV though :O)

I am not positive if it was an actual "SONY" replacement lamp, because there were some minor differences in the welding but there was no problems with installation and it works great so far. I have been using this replacement for about 2 months now and I haven't noticed a reduction in picture quality or anything. The item description might say that filters are included, but I have never received them...

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.

I cannot answer your question compltely. The original part was a Phillips bulb and since their patent ran out other manufactures could produce a bulb that would fit the TV. I purchased 1 non-Phillips bulb for about $30 and that lasted a year. I purchased this item for $90 and it last 5 months. I decided to buy the cheaper ones going forward.

It is just the bulb. I had to order the entire assembly from motorcycle superstore. At the time, I couldn't find the entire assembly for my bike on Amazon.

I do not believe it is made by Sony, however, other than I had to increase the brightness slightly, the bulb works well.

Yes, but It needed a official Sony lamp which costed more. I think think bulb was good but the housing for the bulb was not the right fit.

You can not purchase the exact bulb separately. Due to the bulb hour life of this projector, it will last quite a few years. By the time the bulb needs to be replaced, there will be much better products on the market. In my opinion

The generic bulb I recieved was made in China. I sent it back, cause it flickered like a strobe light. I then spent the extra money and purchased a Mitsubishi factory bulb with the housing and it was made in Mexico, had to adjust the brightness back down after install the factory bulb. You get what you pay for. Bulb still going strong.

NO. It is an aftermarket lamp. If u want a Sony lamp it is going to be about $500.
