End of life

Your Hitachi 50V720 TV lamp is a easy to install. The Hitachi 50V720 needs a Hitachi UX21517 TV lamp.

The lamp life will vary based on how much you use the TV. Turning it off and on frequently may shorten the lamp life. When it’s time to replace the Hitachi UX21517 TV lamp, the LAMP INDICATOR on the TV panel will turn on and stay on. This is different when it blinks along with TEMP light after the Hitachi 50V720 TV is turned on.

When it’s time to replace the lamp the LAMP INDICATOR will not turn off. Another indication of end of lamp life is when the TV picture turns dark or the color looks off.

6 reasons to avoid generics

Be sure to buy an authentic Hitachi UX21517 lamp to avoid any damage to your TV. Counterfeits create many problems including:

• prone or overheat and explode
• short lifer and last half as long
• use toxic chemicals as substitutes
• aren’t calibrated properly and will damage your TV’s optics
• come with no guarantee or refunds
• installing voids your Hitachi 50V720 warranty

Safety preparations

Before replacing the Hitachi 50V720 TV lamp, you must follow these safety rules:

Do not open lamp compartment or attempt to remove the Hitachi UX21517 unless it’s being replaced.

• Switch off the power and unplug the Hitachi 50V720 power cord.
• If the lamp is in use when failure occurs or if the lamp has exploded, wait at least 30-45 minutes for the Hitachi UX21517 lamp to cool before opening the lamp compartment or touching the lamp assembly or any broken pieces.
• Broken lamp pieces can cause injury. Handle with gloves to avoid cuts.
• Do not place any foreign objects inside the lamp compartment. You can get burnt.
• MOST IMPORTANT: When replacing the lamp, let it cool down completely, for approximately 30 to 45 minutes after the power has been switched off and A.C. cord has been unplugged.

Replacing the lamp

1. Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord. Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the lamp to cool down before replacing it.

CAUTION: The lamp is very hot and may cause fire or severe burns. Wait until the Hitachi UX21517  is cool to the touch before replacing it.

2. Remove the front cover from the TV set. This is held by snap on. Pull the cover outwards until the quick snap on disengages.  The Hitachi 50V720 TV lamp contain mercury and should be properly recycled. 

3. Remove the screw securing the Hitachi 50V720 TV lamp cover with a Phillips head screw driver. Remove the lamp cover.

4. Remove the two screws that hold the Hitachi UX21517 lamp in place. Remove the old Hitachi UX21517 lamp unit by holding the lamp handle. Pull outwards taking care not to catch your fingers. DON’T PUT YOUR HAND into the Lamp Storage Area after the lamp is removed. You can get burnt.

5. Replace the old lamp with the new Hitachi UX21517 lamp. Don’t touch the front glass of the new lamp as the oil from your fingers will burn black marks into the bulb and show up on screen.  Push the new Hitachi UX21517 lamp unit back to its original position. Tighten the screws firmly on the lamp unit. If they are loose, the TV may not operate correctly
6. 

6. Install the front cover back in by aligning it properly. Snap on to  quick connect and then then push inwards holding the left and right side of the front cover until you hear a snap. Push the other snap on gently to make a good fit. Tighten the screw.

NOTE:  If power is connected before the Lamp Cover is installed, the power will be off and the Lamp Indicator will flash. Be sure to turn OFF the TV before replacing the Hitachi UX21517 lamp. Double check the front cover since the TV will not turn  on.

The post Hitachi Owners Manual for your LCD Projection TV’s. appeared first on DLP Lamp Guide - LCD and DLP Repair Tips - Fix Your DLP - FixYourDLP.com.

• Generic lamps sold online by a number of vendors today should be considered counterfeit when sellers deliberately mislead consumers with claims to "OEM" or "Genuine Original" when in fact the are knock offs. There are many of these generic lamp e-tailers popping up daily… it’s a disease that needs to be stopped! We will show you the questions to ask and how to confirm you are receiving a genuine product!
• Brand name lamps, marketed and sold, again, as the “original” lamp for your particular TV. Just because an aftermarket lamp has a brand name stamped on it does not qualify it as an original part number for your TV. Your television was engineered with consideration from the ORIGINAL lamp supplier and the TV manufacturer. Engineers from both companies worked hand in hand to fine tune your picture. What does all this mean?

EXAMPLE: lets use for example a Samsung DLP TV, model HLS4666W TV. The original lamp part number is BP96-01472A. This part, when purchased directly from Samsung at about $199.99 includes the plastic case (sometimes referred to as the enclosure, assembly, housing, etc.) and the actual lamp. The lamp this TV originally shipped with out of Samsung’s factory was manufactured by Philips. The replacement part number BP96-01472A shipped from the Samsung Parts Factory is also a Philips. There are vendors out there that claim to sell the original lamp for your TV at deep discounted prices… this is a sign something is not right.

• The competition is hot and it’s only heating up higher. Generic companies are trying to figure out ways to gain a piece of the market share and there is nothing they will not consider to get it! As are copies of brand name sunglasses, watches, purses, and so forth, copycats have realized the market potential of replacement lamps (more on this below). What’s stopping a third party lamp manufacture from stamping “Philips” on their lamps and introducing them into the marketplace? Nothing really. Philips doesn’t have a world police as every dock examining every product that’s shipping off international ports. If the clothing industry cannot prevent fraud and copycats I would imagine lamps would have similar problems. All the more reason to purchase lamps from authorized and legitimate distributors, not just a fly-by-night company with the best price working out of their garage importing generic product!

Where do these bogus vendors sell?

• eBay is a common breeding ground…as are fly-by-night brand-spankin’ new ecommerce stores. They claim to ship you original parts at deep discounted prices, often times over $100 less than the manufacturer! For a part that retails less than $200, something is wrong when an e-tailers claims this folks, watch out.
• Heavy marketers – some of these fly-by-night merchants are investing literally thousands of dollars a day on advertising [to be blunt] their crappy merchandise. And they really do need these advertising campaigns to trick uninformed consumers into their scams. Search for Samsung BP96-01472A lamp, you’ll see a lot of these scammers on paid google search results. These guys are battling out through pricing competitions on a daily basis…ultimately they will lose any credibility if they’ve had any when consumers realize what is going on.

What do these bogus vendors sell?

• More often than not, cheap, generic lamps. These are made by a handful of manufactures, mostly in Taiwan and mainland China. Factories seem to be popping up as these realize the market potential of this industry.
• Branded lamps – Venders often claims they are selling an Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) product. While a lamp may be OEM for one product, this does NOT make it an OEM product across the board! I.E., if a Samsung lamp is manufactured by Philips, that does not necessarily mean that a different Sony TV’s OEM lamp is Philips (in this case, both Samsung and Sony depend on Philips as the OEM, but that’s beside the point). There are third party lamp manufacturers that are insisting to sell original lamp by marketing them as OEM. This is a lie and deceitful!

Why do consumers need to be wary of these third-party and counterfeit products?

• Rear Projection TV’s (RPTVs) were manufactured by collaboration efforts between many different companies. Texas Instruments (TI) was instrumental in creating the DLP Technology and the DLP chip that spawned this revolution of TVs and Projectors. Philips has been a huge part of the movement as the inventor of the UHP lamp technology used across the world today. With these two main partners are the OEM product manufactures, such as Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc. It is collaboration through these companies that resulted in RPTV and Front Projection (FT) projectors.

As this is the case, these companies have spent countless hours perfecting their innovations to work together seamlessly. These companies have spent millions upon millions of dollars on Research and Development (R&D) to not only created and perfect their technologies, but to mesh all the this technology together.

When a third-party manufacture enters the marketplace, there are a lot of disadvantages at play…and that is a whole other discussion there…

• Often times third-party products (including lamps) can VOID your manufacturer’s warranty and lead to premature failure of other components inside your TV set! Your DLP is “driven” or powered on by a “lamp driver” or a “ballast” This ballast has been engineered as the bridge between the TV manufacturer (Samsung for example) and the lamp manufacturer (Philips for example). To ensure proper ignition, continuous voltage, and a healthy long life, the ballast and lamp are matched together.
• With a generic or third-party lamp, you are committing yourself to buying an inferior product! Spending $5, $10, or $15 extra on an original part versus a generic/third-party should be a no-brainer when you’ve got a lot more to lose than a few bucks! More on this to come, this has already become longer than it should be.

What should consumers do to protect themselves?

• Always buy from reputable, AUTHORIZED dealers.
• Check to see how long the company has been in business.
• Check affiliations
• Compare pricing with competitors (if you see a vendor that’s extremely cheap, but has limited quantity, that’s a red flag)
• Call the company to check them out and ask questions

The Hitachi 42HDT20 delivered quite a good performance even in a brightly lit room, which is not usual for a television using the plasma technology. The picture bright, sharp and gave high contrast picture even in the bright light. The vertical resolution of the set falls just short in case of 1080i input. It is possible that you will lose a little bit of the vertical image in such a case. A significant shift in the black levels after scene changes was the only noticeable problem. Overall, the performance of the Hitachi 42HDT20 was very superior for a set that uses the plasma technology. Just the price of the set may be a matter of concern for most of the buyers.

The native display resolution of the Hitachi P42H401 is 1024 by 1080. Even though the horizontal resolution is much less than 1920, the vertical resolution ensures that the set will be referred to as a 1080p display. The resolution however is not progressive. The Hitachi P42H401 is priced around $1700 and it would be safe to say that this is Hitachi’s way of competing with the LCD’s. Not that the image is perfect right out of the box but calibration failed to make much of a difference to the image quality.

The set struggles a bit with the standard definition content. The darker images look a bit reddish. The green color point lacks the accuracy although this is something that I have noticed with most plasmas.

The depth of the set is around 4.25 inches is slightly more for a plasma but certainly not fat enough to make you pull your hair out. The full display resolution of the set is 1024 by 1024 which means that all input signals are scaled to fit the native resolution. The remote has plenty of features and thankfully is fully backlit which makes it easy to use in the dark. The colors were excellent although the reds were a bit more saturated. As most of the plasmas this set too suffers as the black levels fall short quite a bit.

Hitachi has loaded the set with plenty of features which help to give the user a better viewing experience. It is equipped with a digital as well as analog tuner. The provision of a CableCard slot eliminates the need to go for additional set top boxes for viewing cable TV. The two inbuilt speakers which are mounted inside the cabinet on both sides of the screen offer a total output of 40 watts along with the amplification.

The native display resolution of the Hitachi 32HDL51 is 1366 by 768 although it processes the video in the high resolution 1080p format. As far as the performance is concerned, the Hitachi 32HDL51 is excellent. It produces highly detailed images with rich and vibrant colors. The contrast ratios too are commendable and the black levels are quite deep for an LCD television. Overall the set give more than an average performance.

The whole remote is backlit which makes it easy to use in the dark. The back panel of the set has a HDMI port as well as a CableCard slot which eliminates the need to go for additional set top boxes. The provision of the USB slot enables the user to view any videos or movies directly from a USB device such as the digital camera. To wrap it up the Hitachi 32HDL51 is certainly worth a look if you are looking for a moderately sized flat panel television.
