Sony Bravia E Series TV just gave me an on screen lamp warning. How long before it actually goes out?
I have a Sony Bravia KDF-50E3000 LCD projection TV and I just got the on-screen warning saying the lamp was dying and that I should replace it soon. I called all of the local Sony dealers and none of them have the lamp in-stock.
My question is, how long do I have before the lamp gives up? My screen hasn’t gotten any darker yet, a couple of hours after the warning. The reason I ask is because I want to be able to watch my TV for Monday Night Football. Huge game between the Pats and the Saints 
I won’t be able to have one shipped in time for this game, so I want to know if I should just buy a new TV or if this lamp is going to last until then. Missing this game is NOT AN OPTION, nor is going to a sports bar.

Order it directly from SONY…
The warning will give you a whole week before it finally dies, so you can get it by calling them, or just order it online with a credit card.
I have had the worning on my sony bravia for 6 months with no sign of video degradation. Do not know how to get rid of the warning – Sony bravia is about 4 years old.
