Review on CHANGSHENG 915B403001 Lamp Replacement for Mitsubishi TV WD-60735, WD-60737, WD-60C8, WD-82837 - Includes Housing by Seth Wood

The glass on the front of the lamp is completely cracked. I don't know what the reason is. The lamp was in the original box with foam and this box was packed in another box for shipping. No visible damage to the boxes when they arrived. Most of the used TVs in the house wouldn't work for days while I waited for that lightbulb, so I decided to go ahead and plug it in and see if it worked. It does. I have purchased several of these replacement bulbs from various locations over the years that we have had this TV. Some were lighter than others. Some of them have lasted longer than others, but they all look the same. This looks a bit darker when the TV is on, but the color improves after a few minutes. The overall picture might not be as bright as it was, but it's not bad. Still better than paying asking prices for the same light bulb in a hardware store. I hope the broken glass won't affect the lifespan of this one. It's been a few weeks and so far so good
