Shopping for your new Epson ELPLP49 can get kind of confusing. There are a multitude of choices out there on the Internet and they all claim to be “compatible” with your Epson projectors. How do you get the best lamp for your Epson EH-TW4400? The first thing to consider is the source. Has the lamp been made in North America by a reputable manufacturer?

Buying authentic lamps guarantees a lamp manufactured to work with your projector If you do decide to go with a cheaper compatible lamp then buy one from a registered OEM manufacturer who is building them in North America Buy authentic and get a better product plus better customer care.
