You used this bulb? I have a Mitsubishi 60" projection, and when I changed the bulb it was a 100% improvement. I cannot say how much better it looked, but my bulb had actually burned out. If You bought one of these and installed it and it is blue, I would take it out and re-install it. It plugs in kind of hard, so maybe you didn't get it in all the way.

I'm not sure, my new bulb blew out two months after replacing. My TV only had a blue screen when the input was not on Cable or satellite.

No, the bulb that I received had a yellowish cast to the reflective core, while the original had a bluish tint to it. The one I received would not work with my TV

Make sure you buy the Samsung brand and not one of the off-brands. Same thing happened to us, repeatedly. Local TV repairman hooked us up with the correct bulb. Bulb is much more expensive but at least you won't be replacing it again. Good Luck!

If your picture is dim then a new lamp should make it like new again. It is doubtful anything other than a degraded lamp would cause a dim picture. I wouldn't expect to get a refund if the lamp works. I bought one but really couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if the TV just didn't need a new lamp or that the off brand lamp isn't as bright as an OEM lamp. Personally, I'd stick with OEM Sony parts. They cost more though.

Could be a bad main board. Mine went out a year-and-a-half or so ago. It cost about $350 to replace it through a local repair company. Not sure if it is worth it though. I bought a new tv about 6 months ago and it was $650. You may want to check around.

Try resetting the "replaced lamp setting" on your tv again, maybe you dont actually need to replace the bulb. I would definitely get ahold of the manufacturer to make them aware of it, they might be open to replacing it so soon after the 90 day warranty.

Vickie, In the end I was not able to resolve the issue. I had 2 technicians out to try to fix it, but they weren't able to. Sharp is sending me a new TV (which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon). I'll let you know if it works any better.

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

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

Remove and send for replacements if they are new. If not go to the manufacturers website and look up how to replace. The bulb needed should also be in the instruction.

I honestly don't know. I do know I've had to purchase a new bulb 4 years in a row, so I figured the cheaper the better. However since my last bulb purchase little white dot are appearing all over my screen. I did some research and the video card is going out. There is actually a lawsuit over the poor quality of these TVs. The video card is $200 plus shipping, so I'm cutting my losses and getting a new TV. I would suggest that all of you do the same!

That sounds like the type of response most TV's have when you have a burnt out bulb, or one that is slow to warm up. I would double check to make sure your bulb is fully plugged into the contacts in the back of the TV and give it another try. It might take a little while for the bulb to warm up initially. If that doesn't work, and your previous bulb did, it might be possible you got a bad bulb, or it was knocked around in shipping.

It's the bulb warming up 99% of the time. If it never goes away then check your HDMI cables by taking them out and reinserting them. Do this for all your electronic equipment because you never know which one it could be.If the blue/green tint never goes away after the above it's time to call mits.

I no my tv did that when the bulb went bad. You might want to reinstall the bulb and make sure it is connected properly. If that does not work I think you have bad bulb. Hope this helps

If the picture gets darker and is less bright, then it is time to change the bulb! I had my TV for eight years and I am on my 2nd bulb!

If your colors are reversed/ or faded you will probably need to replace one of the sustain boards because it has failed. If it is just dim top or bottom then the kit should help you out .You should go to U-Tube and match your condition the brand doesn't matter. Once you have done that you can find how to repair your specific unit. It is hard to diagnose without actually seeing the unit or picture. Feel free to as any other questions about your tv.

Yes. I have the same TV and used this replacement bulb a few months ago. TV is like new.
