Sony 50" LCD Projection TV Lamp question (1 Viewer)

[bruin]

Just got this Tv...I just noticed that the replacement lamp indicator lighted up and the tv wouldn't turn on. However I tried turning the tv on again after 2 minutes and the tv came on. It's been less than a month since I got the Tv.

My questions are:

1) Should I notify Best Buy (who I purchased from) to replace the lamp?

2) Should I not worry about it?

Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks

James

Sounds like you need to look in the troubleshooting guide of your owner's manual

The problem isn't that simple. The Tv now seems to be working fine. I'm just worried if it was just a glitch that the lamp came on that one time. Or whether it was a warning ahead of time before the lamp actually goes out.

Has this happened to anyone who owns this TV (WEGA KF-50WE610)?

This had been an ongoing problem with these sets but last I read it has been remedied by replacing the lamp. Check out the long and many threads at www.avsforum.com on this.

Call Best Buy immediately and demand a replacement. This is a big problem with the tv you have. I just returned mine and ended up getting a Sony 34"XBR910 instead. I'm much happier not having worry about light bulb issues and the picture quality is better on the XBR set.
