It takes longer to open the box than it does to replace the lamp.
(5 out of 5) by Neal R Boyd on Jan 22, 2009 (Hammond, LA)When our TV's lamp went out, I was a little concerned about how hard it would be to change this thing out... I'm a computer geek by trade, but I honestly don't know a lot about HD televisions. I took a quick look at my TV's manual, and had learned how to pop the lamp in and out in just a few minutes.
Basically, you pop open one panel, turn a lever and pull out another panel, grab the old lamp by hook/finger handle, gently pull up and out. Push the new one in until it pops into place, make sure you replace the inner panel properly (the one with the lever, if not secured properly, the TV won't turn on), then pop the outer panel back on and there you have it, a TV again.
Our lamp has been in for several months, and the image quality (especially brightness) seems to be as good as I remember the stock lamp. Having said that, it may be the stock lamp.
Summary: if your WEGA or whatever goes black and this lamp fits into your unit, then get one. I like a bright TV in a dark room, as does my wife. We've both put this replacement lamp to it's paces, not to mention we leave the TV on when we're not home.

Sony XL-2400 lamp for Grand WEGA LCD TV
(5 out of 5) by R. Robinson on Aug 7, 2009 (Maryland)This lamp came from a third party vendor named VANN'S. I got it on time with no issues. Installation was extremely simple. It literally took me longer to open the box than it did to replace the bulb. This product includes the entire assembly. If you're handy and want to save a few bucks, you may consider purchasing just the bulb and reusing the old assembly that is not affected when the bulb burns out. I will do that next time.

(5 out of 5) by N. Rodrigues on May 8, 2008Item arrived in two days. I was impressed that they offered a free return label for proper disposing/recycling. I compared pricing and they were the cheapest. Great company!!

Sony XL-2400 Projection Lamp
(5 out of 5) by Aggiebill on Nov 23, 2008 (Dallas, TX)This projection lamp worked perfectly. Replacement of the existing lamp assembly was very simple. However, I am looking into replacing only the bulb when this unit reaches the end of its life.

Projection TV replacement lamps
(3 out of 5) by fellow 180 on Sep 7, 2008 (Fort Worth,TX)This is my second purchase of this product. In my experience, the repalcemance lamps do not last nearly as long as the originals.
