Hello,

I would try to re-seat the lamp. Pull the lamp out, check it to see if it may have gone bad again, then put it back in to make sure the contacts are connected. Before applying power, unplug the TV for 5 minute, and then plug in/turn it on.

Most lamps, if bad from the factory, will go out within 3 months of use. It does happen, and happens more often than you would think.

Try this, and see what happens. Good luck.

Hi, i have a ultravision digital hitachi 50v500 , theirs a light bulb in the tv that needs to be replaced. how much would that cost to fix it?

Replacement lamps with housing will cost between $175-200 at a retail store, this does not include installation. You can buy a lamp without the housing for near $75-100 but this requires you to remove the old lamp from the housing and installing the new lamp into the old housing, which can be tedious and potentially damaging if you do it incorrectly. BUY THE LAMP WITH THE HOUSING it will save you time and frustration.

Howdy,
You need to replace the lamp; UX21511 about $100.00 for a replacement. It is very easy to replace.

Good Luck, big IRISH.

My 61" hitachi rear proj has a very dark picture.

It sounds that lamp in TV is weak and not throwing enough light to bright the screen for good image.
How old is this TV and did you replaced its Lamp recently?
If lamp has not been replaced yet or in last 2-3 years, replace it.

Hitachi 50v500

For $350.00!!!!

Absolutely!!!

Just do not expect it to be a great picture for long but, you never know you may have a rare good one. For that price I would put it
in the garage and have something special to watch the games on. Even if it goes bad the lamp is almost worth that in some circles.
