Replacement bulbs? Reliable and good price? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

A friend from work asked about replacement bulbs for his DLP TV.

Is there a site that you can suggest and preferably a trustworthy one that is also cheap?

TIA!

If he has a Samsung, samsungparts.com is good.

He has yet to tell me the make/model...I was looking for a generic type place but do thank you nonetheless.

No problem, they're Samsung's authorized parts dealer, but when I needed a bulb they had it for $150, most other places I found it were $200+.

I never come across a place up here except for the usual dealers for Panasonic.

A friend of mine that works for an electrical wholesaler claimed he could get them cheap, but he needed the part number off the bulb itself not just the model of the TV.

I haven't gotten around to it yet.

In the grand scheme of things, forking out $200 for 5 years of use isn't to tough on the bank account.

He just emailed me, yes, it WAS a Sammy bulb and he got it for $149!

Thanks!
