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 LG RU-42PX11 is an enhanced definition television that uses the plasma technology and has a screen size of 42 inches. As far as the performance is concerned, it does not perform badly although it is not the best in any of the categories either. However even this average, middle of the road performance has given the set a high rating. The cabinet is well designed and has been given an all silver look. The inbuilt speakers are attached inside the cabinet at the sides of the screen. A very thin black colored frame has been used to house the screen.

The LG RU-42PX11 was superb when it came to processing and did not show any jagged edges in most of the scenes. It also did not crush the whites which most of the plasmas do to various extents. However, the colors lack the vibrancy and it would be fair to call them muted or undersaturated. Even though the colors are not that bad, they appear to be muted because the contrast ratio of the set falls slightly short. The set was absolutely fantastic when it came to detail levels and should give the top of the line sets a run for their money. The performance of the set out of the box is average and does not show much improvement even after calibration.

The LG 42LP1D is a high definition television that uses the LCD technology and has a screen size of 42 inches when measured diagonally. The prices of the LCD’s like the sets from most of the other technologies are dropping very quickly. Even though the LCD had a massive lead in the market over the plasmas the latter is catching up very quickly. The brightness of the set is fantastic and is perhaps one of the brightest LCD’s seen so far. This means that the set will be a pleasure to watch even in brightly lit rooms as it does a great job at minimizing any reflections.

The set is quite good with the black levels too and produces higher than average levels for an LCD. The vertical viewing angle is quite average for an LCD although the horizontal one should have been better. The cabinet houses the internal speakers at the sides of the screen. The set is primarily silver in color with a thin black colored frame around the screen. More than anything else, the best things about the set are the brightness and the high black levels. So if you like watching the television during the day or have a brightly lit room, the LG 42LP1D is the one to go for.
