6 years on the bulb that the tv came with.
I did not check the hours as I have found when you go in there it resets all the TVs setting to factory.
Used it every day for 8-14 hours a day,thats some bulb.
It still worked fine I figured I just better change it.
WOW what a difference!!!!
I do have a small issue.
sometimes I see very faint slanted lines gong frome top right of the tv to the bottom left.
Its just not a perfectly clean picture.
If I shut off the cable box and all you see is a black screen then you can really see them.
but I have found by turning the tv off and on they will go away.
also if I unplug the tv for a few minuted sometimes they go away.
and if i tap the back near the bulb cover it changes the lines and they go away.
any ideas??
thanks

Re: HLP6163W,6 Years on factory Bulb! Also a question.
Hello!
you got a pretty good life out of the stock lamp
do you have any digital inputs on your TV? try an HDMI OR DVI input to see if you get those lines...
this sounds like it is a Digital Video Board problem!
