Did you notice an acrid and offensive odor after installing the new lamp and turning on the TV?

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

Hello MPollack, Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness. Sometimes a new unit will emit a light odor, it's because of the heat of the ceramic core and the outer shell of the Air Purifier being plastic. This occurs generally when a heat source is first introduced into a closed area. Please be assured that the smell is not harmful in anyway and will dissipate within 1 week, if not sooner. If we can be of further assistance let us know. Thank you ! Gail

Hi Chew, I haven't had mine in for too long, perhaps 8 months to a year, but it's still working. I suggest that when you do install a new lamp, you reduce the 'contrast' to save the lamp's life a bit. As for which one fits your TV, I don't know what model TV you have. You can find that info in the User's Manual. If you don't have a User's Manual, you can download one from the TV manufacturer's website.

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

We had the same issue after we installed the TV in 2 months ago. The brightness of the TV cycles through the lamp opposite from the TV - if we turn the lamp on, the screen gets bright within 3-4 seconds, and if the lamp is off, the screen is back to darker and dimmer image within 3 seconds. We have tried other lamps to see if interferences the TV responds to, but this is the only lamp that works that magic. the two devices dont share the same electric source either.

Yes that's normal. You should be able to smell the freshness in the room after about 30min after turning your unit on

I say send it back and request an exchange. Mine just had a new smell and was ok to use immediately.

I have not experienced any smells. What is the condition of your connection wires?

I have replaced 2 Philip projector lamps over the years and have had no problem with smells. They get hot so make sure there isn't any dust and check to see that the cooling fan is working.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

my new Samsung flat screen definitely is off-gassing a chemical plastic smell. I assumed it would go away after a few days but...it has been a few weeks....and it still stinks. Is stinking up the whole living room. I don't recommend it, if you want to avoid smelling plastic. Otherwise -nice TV, great picture. It's too bad it smells!!!

i replaced mine and didn't have any issues (smell) . Is it still smelling? You may have a more serious problem. I would remove the newly installed bulb assemble, inspect, and start again.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

I haven't had that problem with either of the lamps I purchased. I do know the touch pad is very sensitive. My wandering cat had turned mine off a few times. :)

It didn't seem to have any offensive odor, just the usual "new smell" you get when you first buy/open bedding. It was gone quickly and I am very sensitive so I would have noticed . Hope if you buy one it will be the same .
