I got my new HLN5065WX yesterday and got it setup and it rocks! I was curious about which version I have as I don't see the W1 listed anywhere.


In the Service Menu is says v3.14


Manufactured March 2004


Is this the W1 or are they still making the older W series?

You can do one of a couple of things to find out:


1) Refer to your warranty card. Your model number should already be listed, designating it a W1 or a standard HLN model.


2) Take a look at your remote. The newer W1 models have a different looking remote than the original HLN series.


3) Look at the back of your TV and you will/should find a placard that gives you the spec's of you TV. Model number, assembly date etc.


Hope this helped!

Mine had a DOM of 3-2004 also and was a NON W1.


New remote has square buttons instead of round and more of them.

Also on side of box is a white label with UPC code and in large letters

HLN5065W, under this if a W1 will be in smaller letters HLN5065W1.


Component inputs will all be the same also.

Your set is not a "W1" based on your firmware number. The "W1" sets have firmware version 1017 in all the reports I've read here.

Good one htwaits, I forgot about the firmware being an indication of the W1 model. =)

It's not the most useful clue because you have to know the secret code to find it.


I think the firmware version along with bulb hours should be right out in the user menu.
