61" DLP
I'm thinking about buying a used 61" DLP. There is one problem. The owner replaced the bulb with a generic bulb and the screen is very dark. Will there be any other problems if I just buy a new Samsung bulb that actually is made for the TV? Please help.

Re: 61" DLP
Hello MooShoo.
Installing generic lamps technically speaking doesn’t damage the TV, so the fix to your problem would be to buy a new lamp. Oh, and buy the way, there is no such thing as a Samsung lamp. The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part for your TV would be a Philips lamp; they are the best lamp on the market in terms of long life & brightness. How ever befor you buy it, look out for any of these symptoms.
Weird noises coming from the inside of the TV when turning it on, such as : whining, whirling, hissing, constant clicking, humming, etc. also if there is any distortion in the TV those are signs of trouble.
Hope this helps you out.
