Is this an original philips bulb, not a compatible or generic replacement?

No it is not an original philips bulb. The one I received had a made in mexico sticker on the back of it. Yesterday I installed a bulb I ordered from Philips website since I was having issue with flicker from this bulb. Unlike the one I ordered from Amazon, the one I ordered from Philips came in a Philips box, with instructions on how to install and warranty paperwork. It looks slightly different than the one I got from Amazon. More importantly the Philips bulb had no flicker and a better picture.

I don't recall seeing Philips on the bulb, but did not inspect it that closely as it was in the housing when it arrived. As I indicated in review, the housing was equivalent if not identical to original. So far, working well.

Yes. We have had no problems with it. Have bought the same bulb in the past.

In the description it says it's a Sony - OEM. But the price seems a bit low, doesn't it? I've had luck with the Philips replacement. I think I'll go with that one again.

I'm sorry couldn't answer that just is was for that specific model stated. I can tell you I had the same model before and it lasted 2 full years and we run the TV almost night and day. So I couldn't be more helpful to your question.

You want a Philips bulb, it comes in a white Philips box. All others are generic and of inferior quality. Philips bulbs will last if you install them correctly - that is no touching with bare fingers! Wear lint free gloves when handling these bulbs. Why? Any contamination on the bulb and or housing (especially the bulb) will drastically reduce its life, and may even cause it to explode. Plus, when you're inside removing the old housing, carefully dust the area, again wearing gloves. Be careful? Doing this will increase the life of your Philips bulb.

I have no doubt this will work, but I have found non JVC replacement bulbs work better. I have used the JVC bulbs they are ok and will work, but as I stated I found the generics do work better...Amazon has the best prices. Good luck to you, they are fairly easy to replace, but do not touch the bulb, as it will diminish the length of the bulb.

Yes. The picture is the housing with the actual bulb inside. This is a modular replacement.

Don't know, but I bought the Phillips brand and haven't had any problems at all. My TV is in a wall unit, so changing the bulb is a bit of an effort and not something I want to repeat often, so reliability is a biggie for me.

If you still have the bulb which no longer works, look at the band around the bottom of it and the numbers will match up with the proper bulb. If not, then look at the receptacle. If it looks very odd, like the one shown here, chances are that it will fit. And, a great benefit or ordering from Amazon, is their fantastic return/refund policy. Good luck.

Hi - no. This unfortunately is far from the oem in terms or brightness and quality. Don't waste your money. It comes in a housing and the bulb is not replaceable like the OEM. I got it, put it in and realized it wasn't as bright. Basically held on it until I got the good bulb which is this one: PHILIPS KDS-50A2000 KDS50A2000 Bare Lamp XL5200 This a high quality Philips with the screw down posts, etc.

Cheap aftermarket, i.e., 'Made in China,' no brand on bulb. Picture looks as good as the original Philips bulb. Read my review for more info.

Don't know. Bulb itself is marked: Philips, TUV PL-L 18W/4P, Made in Poland. Packaged in a Honeywell box and labeled "Replacement Bulb For Model RUVLAMP1".

I have not installed them yet. The boxes mine came in were a cheap replica of the original box, so I doubt I got genuine PHILIPS bulbs even though it has all the Philips markings on the bulb. The box did not have the imagine scan on the side of the box to check for authenticity, even though it was advertised with the exact image yours shows.

The bulb you ordered is B181S3, not B18S3 (which is the one you have, or want) I tried to google model B18S3 but this model number doesn

Mine was not a real Philips bulb. It was received in a brown box whereas real Philips bulbs come in a white box.

No sure it is some generic brand burned out after about 30 days. Vendor would not respond to any of my attempts to contact them for a replacement.

I have a 736, but it's the same bulb I use. I have always had good luck with the Philips bulbs - first one lasted almost 4 years (supposed life span of 18 months to 2 years) and the current one has been in for almost 2 years with no problems. Do it yourself replacement which is very easy makes it a very cost effective alternative to having a shop order a bulb and install it.

I ordered a replacement bulb for my Samsung HLR5678WX/XAA. The internal brown box holding the bulb was stamped genuine Philips replacement. It was easy to install and continues to work without issues. I'm very happy with my purchase. Related install videos are on the internet if needed.

Yes, it is an OEM bulb from Phillips. It has been working in my TV for over a year with no problems.
