yeah, I think I just have a single screw to remove on the back of the set. last time I went into the service menu and checked the bulb time was at about 2000 hours or so (after 2 years of use). I *think* my bulb is rated at about 6000 hours.. and I just looked online and saw the bulbs coudl be found for $150 to $200. I plan on getting a new TV and moving this one into the bedroom where it will be used much less... so I guess it could still be a while before I need a new bulb.
