A big thanks to everyone who posted information on this topic. over on the front projection forum.
I own a LG 52SZ8R-ZA and have just replaced the lamp all on my own (yippee!). Purchased the lamp from e-Bay £99 free post and packaging express next day delivery, fantastic arrived at 08:30. This was after contacting several retailers, some of which could not even understand that it was a projector lamp I needed. While other would happily take £328.62 of my hard earned money and expect me to wait 2 to 3 weeks for delivery as the manufactures had a problem just now (yeah right!!!!!!).
Just an addendum to the resetting of the lamp life counter, mine read 10723 hours at time of replacement. Although I don't recommend leaving it's long, Sod's Law predicts It'll go just as your favorite TV show comes on. he he.
Anyway on my set the menu pops up as mentioned after holding the OK (on TV) and mute (on remote) not the
menu button as I did for nearly a minute. then just press the OK button on the remote to reset counter to zero. After which I had to switch the TV off at the mains leave for 30 seconds then back on this turned of the lamp warning light on the front of the unit.
Once again guys thanks a million, you saved me hundreds.
