Samsung HLRxx67W Owners Thread --- 720p DLP HDTV - Page 134

I have had to replace the bulb once, color wheel once, and bulb cooling fan once, in that order. Bulb went out at 12,xxx hours so not too bad at all since it's probably at 17,xxx now. However, the analog board has nrn going out for a long time and now the TV is retired due to digital board issues. Replacement LG LED TV is fantastic.

12k for the lamp is a excellent count.

Anyone else with issues with just the color wheel and fans? The reason for the specific question is a friend has a HLR4266 (the cheapo) and it sounds as it's the color wheel that is going. It's not the lamp fan for sure. I don't know how many other fans are on that chassis; one or two as i might be that, but I doubt it.

Hi,

I've had my HLR4267W for several years, have replaced the color wheel before and the lamp. Now, recently, the screen seems to go from normal brightness to slightly darker and back to normal darkness every few minutes. I have not timed the interval between but I have a feeling it is becoming a little more frequent.

Is this my light bulb going bad again or something else? Last time, I remember the screen was getting darker over time, but nothing like this. I just want to have an idea what could be wrong. If it is anything more than a light bulb, it may be time for a new TV.

Could be the ballast giving you trouble ...it powers the bulb.

Is there a way to know or tweak it to be sure? I am trying to decide if I fix the TV or get a new one. Ballast + new lamp and we maybe talking about near half the price of a new TV.

Only way I know is to replace one component first (bulb or ballast), then if you still have trouble replace the other.

I got lucky a few years ago and bought an identical TV online and I used it for my XBox. I've since replaced my main TV and both Samsungs are now in my XBox room. I'm saving one for parts. The ballast is going out on mine (already has a new bulb), but I haven't swapped it yet.

Hi, I just posted a new thread in this forum describing a display problem relative to a Samsung HLR4667W, perhaps some fellow HLRxx67W owners in this thread could have a look and see if it's a problem they've encountered or know of. Thanks a lot.

For a $500 (or so) LCD set? I'd stay with this even though it's only a 720p. wink.gif

My 61" has dark transparent horizontal lines for the first 2-3minutes it is powered on then the picture goes to normal. Any ideas?
