I guess it's about time. I bought the TV back in Jan of 04 & the bulb just now crapped out right in the middle of the game!!!. Where do you recommend I pick a new one up at. The model# of the TV is KF-50WE610 & the bulb# is XL-2100U. Thanks.

    Do you mean rear projection bulb? I do not think LCD's have bulbs.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    It's a Sony LCD projection TV. Being from 04' I'm pretty sure it's a rear projection. It's no where as slim as the new LCD TV's.

    Pear --

    I have a similar Sony LCD 50" TV. Approximately how many hours did you put on the bulb before it blew?

    EB...

    according to my calculations...an easy 4,500 to 5,000hrs, & probably longer. We watch a lot of TV. Maybe I just got lucky.

    OK, thanks. We watch about 1,000 hours per year, so hopefully we've got two more years before we need a new one. My wife wants a new TV anyway, so maybe when the bulb blows, it'll give us an excuse to upgrade.

    I already tried that one!!. No luck at my house though, the wifes logic...$140 is a lot better than a couple grand. Damn she's too smart for me.

    I bought my TV in Feb 05 and I'm still on the factory bulb.I hope it goes out before Feb 09 when my 4 year extended warranty expires.I'm surprised it lasted this long as we also watch alot of TV and movies.
