how can you tell if bulb is burnt,,my tv is off,,3 blinking lights,,does not come on but tries to,,i took out bilb box and lookked at bulb,,it looks clean and new,,no burnt bulb,,so how do you tell????or do you just change it without even knowing that is problem>>>dumb dumb dumb
@bathwaterfilms You can't always tell by looking at them and there is no way to test them with a meter either because they operate on gases. Some people get lucky and see them shattered inside, but for the 90% of everyone else, the only real way to know if the lamp is bad or not is unfortunately to replace it with another Philips lamp. There are also a few DLP TVs that have LED lamp lights or blinking codes that may help establish a bad lamp, but even those can be wrong too.
I have a samsung hls5087wx/xaa . My picture and everything looks just fine. Then all of a sudden one day then the video shuts off and about 5 secs after that the audio does too and then i get three blinking lights (red, green ,green). The tv is about 3 years old...and i have never replaced the bulb. Ive researched and it indicates a bulb replacement but im just weary about spending money on a part and having it not be the problem

Is there any way to visually tell if the bulb is faulty? If not, is there a way to test the bulb?
