XL-2100 Lamp - one year, then five
by jluedeke , Mon Dec 17 01:48:03 EST 2007
Pros: The replacement lamp lasted about five years.
Cons: The initial lamp only lasted one year.
Review: This review comes as a result of my having to purchase the third lamp since buying my Sony KDF-60XBR950 LCD television. I am not affiliated with Sony in any way, merely a consumer of their products. Initially I was somewhat disappointed at having to... read full review
The bottom line: If your reading this you probably already own a TV that uses this lamp. Bright side, other folks have had long lasting lamps like my second one. | | | | | Author's rating: |  |

KDF-70XBR950 with 13,762 Hours and I'm on 3rd Bulb
by skpress , Tue Jan 02 17:54:03 EST 2007
Pros: Outstanding HD picture. Great job with SD picture. Plexiglas protects screen from smoke and children.
Cons: Plexiglas can reflect some on bright days, but not bad. Non-learning remote.
Review: This Sony is a wonderful set. Retailing for $6999 (paid $5089 on August, 2004). I'm on my 3rd bulb and it is still pretty bright. None of my bulbs have burned out, or even flashed at me. I just entered the service menu and it showed that I have 13,762... read full review | | | | | Author's rating: | |

by george65 , Wed Feb 07 12:46:37 EST 2007
Pros: Sony expensive lamp
Cons: I tried different sellers, doesn't work, it is a lamp problem.
Review: It is a very bad experience with this Sony XL-2100U lamp. It is my 3 lamp for one year. Sony should do something about it. I was a Sony's fan, but know I don't think so... read full review | | | | | Author's rating: | |

Pros: Great picture with new bulb

Buying was simple; installing it wasn't
by smugmug , Fri Aug 08 16:18:40 EDT 2008
Pros: * Did exactly want I needed it to
Cons: * None yet, hopefully it lasts for a while
Review: After getting my hands on an XL2100U lamp, I realized that despite me not wanting to have to replace the lamp many more times, it was a breeze to find it, buy it and replace it. I wasn't sure if I had the right lamp since I lost the manual to my... read full review | | | | | Author's rating: | |
Bulb won't last forever?
by paker , Thu Jan 19 21:35:41 EST 2006
Pros: Bulb lasted quite a long time, and didn't really degrade.
Cons: 300$/year? Didn't i already spend 5000$ on this TV???
Review: I just had my bulb burn out after a little over a year. We have put it through some pretty heavy usage, so I can't really complain. (with replacement bulbs being quite expensive, believe me I'd like to) I would definitely say that mine lasted about 2000... read full review | | | | | Author's rating: | |

Sony Sold Junk out of the Box
by mrvlzombie , Mon Dec 26 21:42:20 EST 2005
Pros: Bright LCD projection when working.
Cons: Philips won't sell you the bulb they manufacture for Sony.
Review: First Bulb I had in the 42" WEGA LCD died the week after the bulb warranty expired. Sony in their infinite wisdom only gives 90-days on bulbs too. Sony's on-line service reps are totally non-responsive (do they hire engineers there?). I replaced it with... read full review | | | |
