Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bulbs arrived as promised, installed it in my tv and boom, it works like it's brand new. Replacing the original bulb did the trick - no dimness or flashing colors. Hope it lasts as long as the last one.

Would highly recommend. Also spoke with a major distributor to get fully convinced to buy this bulb.

Ordered this bulb to replace an osram 69440 bulb installed by an unscrupulous repairman. Replacing the bulb was easy, just took some care and thinking to remove the old bulb and sweep out some shattered glass.

This bulb fits and works perfectly fine as a genuine, authentic osram product replacement.



Cons

This bulb shows all the markings of the original osram bulb, but either its a copycat or a blem. Problem is, it failed after only 3 months of service. Do not buy from this seller.

    Ive gone through 2 mitssold 140 housingbulb replacements prior each over 2x this bulbs cost and calculated based on my usage that if the osramsylvania bulb lasted 7 months id break even compared to the mitssold housingbulb

    If youre not built of similar ilk id just get the mitssold housingbulb and not get frustrated with a prematurely failing bulb


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As a matter of fact i have dialed back the brightness setting to 14 and havent changed it since installing this bulb
