I was watching a swimming competition on my HDTV. I don't have a LCD or Plasma but one of those rear projector from a few years ago and do like it. But, I was in the last few seconds of the finals when the image went blank!!! My husband looked in the manual(finaly found it) and found the model and ordered it from XL5200. It was fast and cheap compare to local stores.
This was the first time he had to change the XL5200 bulb on the Sony. He could had ordered one with only the bulb to save money but he ordered one with the housing. A few of steps and it was replaced like new. At that price and with the time he would save in the future, he ordered a second one just in case.
I finished watching the rest of the competition on my small tv before searching for the lamp.
