Bronze Member Username: RvdPost Number: 11 Registered: May-05 | I have a few questions about the 46" Samsung DLP HDTV "HL-R4667W". - What is the bulb life on this TV and where can I get a new one?Tried Samsungparts.com and they didn't have anything for HL-R4667W but they had the lamp for HL-R4677W.Under specification it says 40"-50", does this mean it will work on the HL-R667W? - Is it hard to put these bulbs in, and could I do it myself? - I'll be sitting a little more than 6 feet away from this TV.Is that too close? |

FYI Unregistered guest | All Samsung sets appear to use the Phillips 120W lamp. The part numbers are depicting housing variations. The life is 6000-8000 hours or more before dimming. All Samsung sets are designed with lamp panels. Lamps are intended (per the manuals) for consumers to replace. Two top-mounted screws holds the lamp housing in place. Housings have a handle for extracting from the contacts. Six feet is close for NTSC standard def 4:3, but fine for digital and HD, which is why we buy them. Looks like the same lamp housing is used in all HL-R xx67 models.

Unregistered guest | I bought this set and had it delivered on tuesday...very nice great pic for DVD. I currently have standard cable (not digital and no HD) pic is very good though. 6 feet sounds close but it depends on what you are use to. I replaced a 25" old tube and the widescreeen 46 seems huge to me! Like FYI said HD is a cleaner pic so closer is ok. You will enjoy this set, the manual makes the bulb installation look easy (hopefully I wont have to do this for 3-4 years). I will eventually move up to digital and HD, I just dont watch much tv in the summer. I was told I would get local HD for free with the built in tuner, but that wont happen without a peicey antenna...good luck |

Hey TWICK Unregistered guest | You don't need a pricey antenna! Any old Radio Shack or Winegard standard UHF antenna will pull in the digital off-air networks for free. I use this one. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5 F003%5F001%5F002%5F000&product%5Fid=15%2D2160 Also, there's a chance that the digital signals are riding on your standard cable. Others have reported that they find digital on unfamiliar channels when using autoprogram. Good luck! |
