A local service shop may have it, but may not be willing to sell it without installing it. Call 1-800 Samsung for a list of local service shops. You may get lucky. I buy online and always keep a spare. After all, it's a projector! I don't want downtime! |

Was hoping you'd answer - saw you were from dallas & thought you might have some insite... thanks for the response. (you looked at any of the 1080p samsung stuff yet? is it worth the trade up with comcast or time warner as they call themselves now?) |

I would have preferred the 88W with the extra features, but it wasn't available at the time. I'll probably get an LED when the price drops. Yea...I'd have to say 1080P is worth every dollar. The pop in color and contrast along with the tight resolution of de-interlaced 1080i will knock your socks off! |

Silver Member Username: FyiDallas, Texas Post Number: 950 Registered: May-05 | I can't imagine owning a projector without a spare lamp. I know many people do, but they will have significant downtime when it fails. I won't! http://www.samsungparts.com/part_detail.asp?oldpart=BP96%2D01578A&catalog%5Fname =Parts+and+Accessories&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=BP96%2D01472A |
