Does replacing a worn out lamp truly restore picture quality to like new?
As a lamp ages its light output lessens until it’s obviously too dim and there may be a shift in hue toward a yellowish white output as well. It may even burn out. When it’s time for replacement there will be a definite deterioration of PQ and brightness. Unlike other types of HDTVs that don’t allow user replacement of the light source, a proper replacement lamp should restore a DLP to like new performance.
