 (ARA) - It happens to all of us at one time or another. Your TV will break down and you'll be faced with a decision: fix it or buy a new one. This might not be a tough decision if your television is old. But, if you have a newer big screen TV that's your pride and joy, it's not such an easy choice.
If you decide to fix it, you call the TV repairman who'll tell you to bring your TV to the store. For most people, hauling a big screen TV anywhere requires a few strong guys, a truck and an afternoon.
The other alternative is a house call, which could be expensive, and could result in your having to buy expensive replacement parts.
There is a third, easier and less expensive way to fix your TV. Simply order a Replacement Rear Projector TV (RPTV) Lamp. It is common for RPTV Lamps to blow out, or the picture gradually grows darker, which is a symptom that the lamp will burn out soon. And whether you purchased a Sony, Samsung, Panasonic or other brand name TV, you can find the appropriate replacement model at LaptopsforLess.com.
Simply look up your brand and find the lamp that works with your TV. For example, the Sony Grand Wega RPTV requires compatible part number XL-2100 or XL-2100U.
"Compatible replacement RPTV lamps are the preferred choice for most RPTV owners because of the considerable cost savings," says Gary Burn, product manager. "Consumers can save much as 50 percent versus the original OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) lamp, which can cost upwards of $400."
The replacement lamps come in the whole casing, so it's easy to replace them yourself. Other companies send you just the bulb, which requires soldering and special tools to release the old one from the casing and insert the new bulb. With Laptopsforless.com, you get the entire part so no TV repairman is required and your cost for the TV repair is reduced to about one-fourth of what could have been.
If you think your RPTV lamp's lifespan is soon to be over, keep a spare lamp on hand to make sure your screen won't be down for the big game.
