LCD TV Bulb

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I just bought a Hitachi HD LCD 50V500A, and about every 8,000 hours you
have to replace a Bulb in it that runs real hot. You can do it yourself, but
it costs too much, so am looking for a place that sells them Wholesale. It's
a Read Projection, and it's the only bulb in it, but I believe they run
about 2 to 300 to buy, so have to find someplace cheaper then that.
Can Anyone give me any info or links on these TV's ?

I don't know the Part Number, or what they call it to do a search.

I'm one of these guys that worry's about things, like where to get one fast.

I didn't read about 8,000 hours in the book, but the free replace is only 90
day's, where the rest is for 1 year. The 8,000 I founf through a Search and
don't know what Model or brand it was.

I sure am glad to find this News Group, that was one fast answer there
Leonard, Thanks.

I'm learning a lot already in here, and I live Electronics, but my lifetime
Job was in a Noisy factory.
I assemble my own Computers and then pass on the old one to the wife.

I had the Cable Time Warner HD 8000 Box for a few day's but had it on my 36
inch Tube Toshiba (HD SQUARE TUBE) and the picture was real bad going
through the box on the channels 0 tru 99, so had to bypass it for those and
use the 3 wire output for HD, as it didn't have the Newer DVI input, where
now with the Hitachi 50V500A I have the DVI input.
I would like to use the DVI but don't know if I should go the DirectTV
or not, as TW Cable didn't have anything worth anything unless you paid for
it. I like football and would like to have a good clear picture when that
comes around.

Don't feel too bad, my JVC G11 front projector's bulb lasts 1000 hours and
costs almost $750. :-)

Joe, I work PT at Circuit City and we have been told that we do indeed cover
the bulb and will replace it if it burns out.
