Bulbs are $190+ tax.and thats at Tiger Direct,not sure what Sony is,prob 250,anyways if i have to replace the bulb every 3-4 yrs, i still have an old tv,and not sure if it is the bulb even,guy in the tv store said it was something elae and not bulb related,but he was a salesman. will nose around,no point in getting a bulb,then fixing the other problem,and end up spending another 300.
but thanks anyway
