A brand new one from a warranty replacement looked dim, and it blew up within 3 months of regular use. This used one has given better picture then the last one. So maybe i am just using the wrong word when saying filament.
I'll look into buying a new bulb, but honestly i wouldnt expect it to change anything as the other bulb before this one didnt change anything and it was replaced supposedly with the exact OEM bulb.

sorry, didn't mean to come off so strong, just wouldn't surprise me if there are companies out there that would pull that kind of scam on people, so it was more directed at that possibility than yourself steve, my apologies for not being more direct about that
theres many 3rd party bulbs that people have apparently had good luck with rather than shelling out for the jvc bulb

Like i mentioned to the other poster, maybe the used bulb is to blame, i just am not sure right now as this bulb seems to be better then the previous ones i had in the set, which were supposedly brand new.
The Theater mode seems to have a little yellow in it, and it does look a little brighter then even the dynamic mode surprisingly. But i dont really like the tint in it, and so i spend most of my time watching standard or dynamic, standard doesnt look too bad. I just wish it was a little brighter, a little easier to see. So right now i am working in that mode, which was all 0's before i started playing with it.

you can clear up the yellow some by picking 'high' in the color mode, or by adjusting the RGB drivers in the service menu with a calibration disc
