Do you have a projection TV with a bad lamp? Is the lamp inside your TV a Philips or OSRAM 100W, 1oo/120W, or a 120W lamp? Does it say 1.3 just after the wattage? If so, click here for the lowest price on an original replacement from Discount-Merchant.com

If you have an OSRAM lamp in your TV we highly recommend replacing that lamp with a Philips. It’s no secret Philips is the innovator of Ultra High Pressure (UHP) Mercury Lamps (created in 1995). The quality and dependability of Philips lamps are much greater than OSRAM, or any of the generic brands out there (LTI, APO, etc.. The combination of better “burners” and more advanced drivers (the ballasts) are a few reasons why Philips lamps outlast the competition.

In any case, if your lamp is a 100W, 100/120W, or 120W and looks like the lamps in the pictures below, we recommend purchasing this lamp from Discount-Merchant.com. Post questions and concerns!

The Hitachi 42HDT20 is a flat pane l plasma television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally. the screen size seems to be very popular among most buyers even though the price of $9000 is not exactly inviting. And that too after a drop of more than $1000. The set offers a native display resolution of 1024 by 1024 and has an aspect ratio of 16:9. The silver cabinet of the set is quite attractive with a glossy black bezel. The set tips the scales at 86 pounds, which is quite reasonable considering the size.

The Hitachi 42HDT20 delivered quite a good performance even in a brightly lit room, which is not usual for a television using the plasma technology. The picture bright, sharp and gave high contrast picture even in the bright light. The vertical resolution of the set falls just short in case of 1080i input. It is possible that you will lose a little bit of the vertical image in such a case. A significant shift in the black levels after scene changes was the only noticeable problem. Overall, the performance of the Hitachi 42HDT20 was very superior for a set that uses the plasma technology. Just the price of the set may be a matter of concern for most of the buyers.

The Hitachi P42H401 is a high definition plasma television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally. This moderate screen size is one of the most preferred sizes among the people. The LCD’s already have the upper hand over the plasmas considering that the latter had a hard time fitting 1920 by 1080 pixels into a 42-inch screen size. As the first 1080p plasma came, a few months back, the market was already flooded with LCD’s having 1080p capability. These LCD’s are even cheaper than the plasmas and there is no guessing where the people are turning their heads.

The native display resolution of the Hitachi P42H401 is 1024 by 1080. Even though the horizontal resolution is much less than 1920, the vertical resolution ensures that the set will be referred to as a 1080p display. The resolution however is not progressive. The Hitachi P42H401 is priced around $1700 and it would be safe to say that this is Hitachi’s way of competing with the LCD’s. Not that the image is perfect right out of the box but calibration failed to make much of a difference to the image quality.

The set struggles a bit with the standard definition content. The darker images look a bit reddish. The green color point lacks the accuracy although this is something that I have noticed with most plasmas.

The Hitachi 42HDT52 has a 42 inch screen size when measured diagonally and uses the plasma technology. The cabinet looks fantastic with the all black design. The set comes with a table top swivel stand which is electric. This means that you can control the swivel by using the remote. Talk about fascinating features and I guess this one should top the list. Hitachi as such has been into the production of plasmas for a long time and knows the technology inside out which is certainly not a bad thing.

The depth of the set is around 4.25 inches is slightly more for a plasma but certainly not fat enough to make you pull your hair out. The full display resolution of the set is 1024 by 1024 which means that all input signals are scaled to fit the native resolution. The remote has plenty of features and thankfully is fully backlit which makes it easy to use in the dark. The colors were excellent although the reds were a bit more saturated. As most of the plasmas this set too suffers as the black levels fall short quite a bit.

Hitachi has loaded the set with plenty of features which help to give the user a better viewing experience. It is equipped with a digital as well as analog tuner. The provision of a CableCard slot eliminates the need to go for additional set top boxes for viewing cable TV. The two inbuilt speakers which are mounted inside the cabinet on both sides of the screen offer a total output of 40 watts along with the amplification.

The Hitachi 32HDL51 is a high definition television having a 32 inch screen size when measured diagonally and uses the LCD technology. The cabinet has been elegantly designed with the use of a two tone color system. The screen is framed in black with aluminum stripes at the top and bottom edges. The stand, which is optional, is also made of aluminum. The designing errs in this case as the black parts of the cabinet are very shiny and tend to reflect any light falling on it. This can be very distracting especially in a bright room.

The native display resolution of the Hitachi 32HDL51 is 1366 by 768 although it processes the video in the high resolution 1080p format. As far as the performance is concerned, the Hitachi 32HDL51 is excellent. It produces highly detailed images with rich and vibrant colors. The contrast ratios too are commendable and the black levels are quite deep for an LCD television. Overall the set give more than an average performance.

The whole remote is backlit which makes it easy to use in the dark. The back panel of the set has a HDMI port as well as a CableCard slot which eliminates the need to go for additional set top boxes. The provision of the USB slot enables the user to view any videos or movies directly from a USB device such as the digital camera. To wrap it up the Hitachi 32HDL51 is certainly worth a look if you are looking for a moderately sized flat panel television.

The Hitachi 43UWX10B is a high definition monitor and has a 43 inch screen size when measured diagonally. It has an aspect ratio of 16:9 while that of its predecessor was 4:3. Hitachi seems to be adopting two different strategies while manufacturing large screen as well as the moderate screen sizes which are also more convenient in smaller or medium sized rooms or houses. This set belongs to the latter with a height of 39 inches and a modest depth of just over 20 inches. The sizes may not be too amusing but the set packs in plenty of features to make you take a closer look.

This rear projection HD monitor has most of the controls required to acquire a good picture. Out of the box the set offers a decent picture although calibration may be required to get the optimum output. The display is very sharp with very little noise although a higher resolution would have made a lot of difference to the performance. The set offers very high brightness which may even allow you to use it in your backyard.

The built in speakers are attached inside the cabinet at the bottom of the screen and offer very good quality sound. The speakers though could have been much better considering the amount of space at their disposal. The Hitachi 43UWX10B offers plenty of input interfaces to accommodate plenty of gadgets and still have a few empty slots for any further hookups.

Even with new technologies like the plasma, the LCD and the DLP taking the markets by storm and occupying most of the market share some of the manufacturers are still offering large screen CRT projection sets with better performance at much more sensible prices. Although the size of the cabinet does have most people shying away from them some of the sets really have much superior performance to the sets using other technologies. Style and elegance may be one of the factors at which the CRT may be caught lacking.

The dimensions of the set are 61 inches in width, almost 60 inches in height and 25 3/8 inches in depth. The depth, even though quite high, is not much larger than some of the rear projection televisions of the same size. The depth though will be beaten silly if you dare compare it to the LCD’s. With this in mind I will make it a point to keep the comparisons restricted to the CRT’s. The weight of the set is just a bit less than 260 which is quite reasonable for a CRT television having a screen size of 65 inches. The Hitachi 65F59 has an integrated ATSC tuner which enables it to process all incoming signals upto 1080i.

Overall the set offers excellent performance providing excellent black levels and accurate colors which are the specialties of the CRT without the problems faced by the use of the newer technologies. The pricing of the CRT sets makes it a good value for money.
