DLP Lamp Guide - LCD and DLP Repair Tips - Fix Your DLP - FixYourDLP.com

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 Panasonic PT-50LC13 is a high definition television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 50 inches when measured diagonally. As far as the plasma technology is concerned, Panasonic is one of the best and they have proved it time and again. The design of the Panasonic PT-50LC13 is very simple yet classy. The cabinet of this flat screen television is very modest and is fully silver in color. The front side of the cabinet has been given a clean look except for the Panasonic logo. The speakers are located to the sides of the widescreen, which makes the cabinet of the set even wider. This makes the set very short and wide.

The native display resolution offered by the Panasonic PT-50LC13 is 720p, which means that it has a vertical resolution of 1280 pixels and a horizontal resolution of 720 pixels. Also, this rear projection television will accept all input resolutions upto 1080i. This means that any input signal other than 720p will either be up converted or down converted to fit the available display resolution. The dimensions of the set are 55.8 inches in width, 35.3 inches in height and 15.3 inches in depth. The set tips the weigh scales at just a little less than 83 pounds, which is quite creditable considering the screen size.

An IMPORTANT NOTE: Be weary of replacement “lamps” or “bulbs” for the TY-LA1000 sold without the enclosure housing.  Typically, buying the lamp-only is okay, as long as the customer is purchasing an original lamp.  Always stay away from off-brand bulbs manufactured by OSRAM, LTI, APO, or another third-party provider for your Panasonic TY-LA1000.   When purchasing just the lamp itself (even an original), it can be a hassle unless you’re fairly good with a technician’s soldering iron.

Your original enclosure has the lamp cable connectors soldered from it’s terminals to the connector plug.  When purchasing just the lamp alone, you will have to cut this connector and soldering it on your new lamp.  Sounds confusing or difficult?  It is…and until we make a kit for it, I don’t suggest anyone purchase the bare bulb only!

To avoid all the hassle, just purchase the whole enclosure.  For the best price on the TY-LA1000 Enclosure, click here.
