Keep Replacement TV Lamps Handy For Your Rear Projection LCD Set

If you have recently made the upgrade from traditional console television to a rear projection set with LCD, congratulations! Owning a RPLCD television set gives you more options for positioning in your home, and the wide screen allows you to watch movies and your favorite shows with more clarity. Given the price of these kinds of televisions, you'll definitely want to take good care of yours to ensure it lasts for years. This is why it's recommended you familiarize yourself with how your set works, particularly when to replace the TV lamps that help keep your picture bright.
What is a TV Lamp?
Within your backlit LCD set are powerful lamps that help keep the shows you watch luminous and crystal clear. Over time, however, these lamps will wear and dim-lamps the average LCD may last up to 5,000 hours. As you watch your TV and notice a normally bright scene appear dim, this is a sign that it may be time to replace the lamps. How many lamps need replacing depends on your set; therefore, it's a good idea to confer with the sale clerk from whom you buy your set-especially if you purchase a pre-own or refurbished model-the number of lamps built into your set.
Replace the Lamps or the Set?
Typically the moment you detect something wrong with your rear projection set, you must come to a decision: try to repair what is wrong or concede that the damage is done and buy a new set. If it's determined that the problem lays mainly with burnt out TV lamps, purchasing replacement lamps to install is definitely a more cost effective solution that also prolongs the life of your set if there are no other problems. The job is rather easy to do, too-you don't need training to fix it yourself. TV lamps like the Panasonic TY-LA1000, one of the more popular and trusted brands for these RPTV models: PT-43LC14, PT-43LCX64, PT-44LCX65, PT-50LC13, PT-50LC14, PT-50LCX63, PT-52LCX15B, PT-52LCX65, PT-60LC13,PT-60LC14, PT-60LCX63, PT-60LCX64, PT-61LCX65, can cost on average anywhere from sixty to ninety dollars depending on the model and whether or not they are backlighting lamps or specialized lamps for projection televisions.
As you enjoy your rear projection television, take care to prepare to enjoy it as long as possible. Be mindful of the life of your current TV lamps and know when to replace them.
