Is the lamp hard to replace? Instead of replacing the lamp is it better to replace the TV instead?
If you’re handy with tools and read warnings and instructions, lamp replacement isn’t that hard. It can be done in 15 minutes and should restore performance to like new. If the TV is four years old when it’s time or if you want to move up to newer technology, a new TV is a consideration. Still, we’re talking about the A650 which is a modern full-1080p HDTV. If the set is good otherwise, a $125 lamp replacement makes a lot of sense.
