Question: How long is this Lamp supposed to last?
Document: So far so good. Its been over a year and the lamp is still going. Seeing as its lasted this long, I would buy another one if this one goes out, but it doesn't appear to be having any troubles yet... knock on wood.Easy to replace and it fit right in without a hitch.Well it finally died last week after lasting 1 year and 7 months of "normal" use.
You get what you pay for. After reading other reviews I knew that this product wasn't going to be a long term fix but at 1/5 the price of a OEM bulb I thought that I would give it a try. The bulb lasted 7 weeks. From what I have seen the real replacement bulbs last about 1-2 years but cost about $125-$200. So it really depends on the money you have to spend when this lamp blows.
Works fine in the beginning but I guess for the price you can't expect it to last long. I had to replace it again in 4 months..
Rating choose because of time that last bulb lasted only two years. Bulb will not last very long before you have to purchase another one. So, have one in reserve as replacement bulb.
I waited to write this review because I wanted to see how long the bulb lasted. Unfortunately it only lasted 2 months. I do admit that we are a large family so the tv gets a lot of use but some reviewers said they got at least 4 months use. I was lucky though because others said they only got a week of use. I actually bought two bulbs because I didn't expect the first one to last long, but I am very disappointed I didn't at least get a season out of it.
My Samsung TV suddenly went dark. So, I checked the manuel and discovered the problem was probably a lamp for the projection system - a common problem. I ordered this Replacement Lamp and easily installed it into the TV. Problem solved! This bulb did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was also the least expensive one on the list of available lamps. I love it when things work like they are supposed to!
Right at this time I am happy with the lamp purchased from Monster lamps. It was easy to install and seems to be working fine. I will need to see how long this lamp lasts before I have anything else to say. Previous lamps purchased from other distributors haven't lasted more that 4 months.
purchased back in June and lamp has already burned out !!!! I purchase lamps every  2 years for my other tv this one didnt last 6 months !!! Don' waste your money
For what ever reason this lamp did not last a whole month before burning out...I had noticed flickering with it from the get go so I must have got a dud? The company took care of my return though they were very helpful.
This is going to be my second lamp in 3 months.... once your original lamp burns out, your screwed. you will be buying aftermarket lamps that will never come close to the hours of the original. This will also be my last lamp im buying for this t.v. Good luck to all you samsung dlp owners...
Answer: I have had my tv for 5 year and replaced it twice. I want to say around 2000 hours.
