Viewsonic Projector Lamp RLC100

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The replacement lamp arrived in about a week and in good, solid packaging. It was easy to install (about 15 minutes) and works as well as the original lamp. It had been so long since we bought the projector (3 years) that we had forgotten how bright the lamp is when it is new. The image is bright and crisp. I'm glad we bought this directly from ViewSonic rather than a 3rd party, even if it was a tad bit more expensive. We will definitely be repurchasing this replacement lamp when the current one starts to dim. #sweepstakes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a pjd7828hdl Viewsonic projector in 2016 for home use. The original bulb lasted until Jan 2023 (7,384 hours). I bought this replacement lamp assembly (RLC-100), and it has worked well so far (41 hours). The replacement is much brighter than the original was at the end of it's life. I suspect the brightness degrades slowly over time, so this replacement is likely the same brightness that the original one was when it was new. This was my first time replacing a projector lamp assembly, and it seemed like a good idea to spend a little more money on Viewsonic's replacement than a cheaper 3rd party alternative. I was tempted to buy the bulb alone from a third party seller, but did not because (1) it was hard to tell which sellers have quality products, and (2) there was a little nick in the lens of my original assembly, likely caused by the bulb burning out, so it may not have worked well if I tried to reuse it.
