My inlaws TV's bulb has gone bad and needs to be replaced. I searched for a replacement bulb online but there is so much out there I'm not sure who's trustworth and what's a good price. Does anyone have any recomendations? Model # Samsung HLS5087WX/XAA

My only recommendation is to get an OEM bulb, not that $40 cheapo crap you find out there. While it might be OK, I've heard horror stories about the cheap replacements. Find out through Samsung what they use, and then shop around for the same thing. Philips is pretty much tops.

Yep, that looks to be original OEM. Good luck with the replacement procedure.
