Works great,
I ordered this lamp (with housing) for my DLP HDTV, and it works great. However, only 3 weeks later, the lamp indicator light came on and a message popped up saying that the lamp was nearing its end-of-life and a replacement should be ordered. For a while, I thought the lamp was faulty, but I eventually realized that I forgot to reset the lamp hours through the TV setup menu when I replaced the lamp… oops.

|Mitsubishi 915PO20010 Lamp w/Housing,
Normally if it sounds too good to be true then it is; not in this case. The product was brand new as described; Price was amazingly low. I am back to reorder and keep at least one lamp w/housing on hand. Thanks Amazon!

|1. Didn’t work. 2. No screws like the original,
Updated again 2.4.12. Updated 1.6.12: Purchased this for my Mits WD-52825. The replacement is a do-it-yourself job. Lamp arrived nicely packaged and all looked good. Removed the housing cover from the TV, which is secured with 3 phillips-head screws. Then, to remove the original lamp, you must loosen three flathead screws that hold the lamp securely in position. These flathead screws are part of the original lamp assembly and even when loosened are still held to the lamp. Inserted the new lamp and noticed that this new lamp assembly does not have the flathead screws that secure the lamp. I did not like this but continued with the installation. After it failed to work I jimmied the housing cover so I could watch what happened. I could see the lamp come on briefly but then there would be a buzz and it would fail. I returned the lamp, which was priced at $73 (and let me say that the return experience was excellent). Even though I sent the product back, I am giving it 3 stars. If you are interested in why, read on.
I purchased a lamp directly from Mits. The Mits lamp was $229! Now, the Mits lamp has the flathead screws as part of the assembly and I believe these serve a good purpose. First, you will know whether or not you have the new lamp seated correctly by whether or not the screws can be secured. Second, I would be concerned that the extreme temps would lead to expansion and loosening of the lamp connection. In my view it is a serious flaw for the 3rd party lamp to be missing these screws as part of the assembly. But it is a great deal less expensive than buying direct from Mits.
More importantly, the Mits lamp didn’t work either! If you are reading this you probably already know that this TV is one that was manufactured with the infamous V26 chassis. I consulted with a TV repair service available on the Internet and ordered a replacement ballast for $149, another do-it-yourself job (you will need a short-handled Phillips-head). This did not solve the problem either. They took the part back for a 15% restocking fee.
I then pursued a solution with Mits. They suggested I fix it. They offered to pay for parts if I paid for labor, which was quoted at $250. But this did not include the cost of lamp replacement. The cost of labor and lamp replacement, plus the risk of further problems with this crummy TV (the chassis had been replaced during the warranty period), plus the cost of the next lamp replacement, led me to junk it and buy a new TV. I am completely unsatisfied by the response I got from Mits. They stonewalled me. Of course my new TV is not a Mits.
So, this review is more about the Mits TV than the lamp. I give the lamp 3 stars because the problems I had were not related to the lamp. The lamp is priced very low, which earns it points, but it does not come with the screws like the original, which loses it points. So, I am at 2.5 stars, but the return experience was the tie-breaker that pushed it to three stars.
