Performance

Upon receiving the Lutema LMP-C190-L02 Sony LMP-C190 Replacement DLP/LCD Cinema Projector Lamp, Premium, we installed it on our VPL-CX61 projector to test its performance. We have to say that we were unconvinced by the product review stars, but we hoped for a better outcome.

Unfortunately, our experience with the Lutema Premium replacement lamp was less than impressive. The image quality and brightness were considerably lower than our previous lamp, and noticeable flickering was visible. We tried to adjust the settings without success. We also tried different devices and projector screens, but the results were consistently poor.

We contacted Lutema's customer support to report our issue. We were pleased to speak with a helpful and polite customer service representative who listened to our concerns and walked us through some basic troubleshooting steps. However, the issue persisted, and the representative eventually acknowledged that we might have received a defective unit.

Unfortunately, we couldn't test another unit due to time constraints. Still, we can only speak from our experience, and we can't recommend this product based on our poor experience.

Pros

- Affordable Lutema Premium replacement lamp

- High-quality standards compliance

- Compatible with various projector model numbers

Cons

- Poor image quality and brightness

Conclusion

The Lutema LMP-C190-L02 Sony LMP-C190 Replacement DLP/LCD Cinema Projector Lamp, Premium, seems like an excellent solution for those seeking an affordable and compatible replacement lamp. It provides better picture quality, brightness, and lifespan than economy lamps at a fraction of the cost of the manufacturer's original lamp.

However, our experience with the product showed considerable issues with image quality, brightness, and flickering. We contacted Lutema's customer support, and while they were helpful, we couldn't fix the issue. With only one review and a one-star rating, it's hard to recommend this product.

We recommend looking for other options and considering alternative brands before purchasing the Lutema LMP-C190-L02 Sony LMP-C190 Replacement DLP/LCD Cinema Projector Lamp. While the product has features that make it seem like a good buy, they are negated by what appears to be a poor quality, unreliable lamp according to reviews.
