Yes, they were knock offs. Just thought that maybe something was causing them to blow right away. I Could see the bulbs going bad in a month or matter of months, but both bulbs blew in about 4 hours. Was wondering if I had a power supply issue like a bad ballast. I will be ordering an osram bulb, but just wanted to make sure it was the bulbs and not something else. I did notice there was an odor when the bulb heated up. Not sure if that is normal for new bulbs or not. And the fan was on the whole time blowing very warm air out. Thanks getting ready to purchase a new bulb.... was still looking for some feedback.... I know that you run the risk of premature burnout with knockoff bulbs, but would 2 of them just blow in 4 hours of use? could I have a power supply problem? and how would I check for it... I just dont want to go thru the hassle of buying another bulb ( a genuine bulb ) and having it blow as well if the problem is the ballast or something else. any suggestions would be great... would love to get this awsome tv back in service soon....
