My 42e2000 just said "lamp at end of projected life". I have had this TV for several years, have had it isf calibrated 3 times (the last time was 1 month ago). At that point, the technician said everything looked good. My question is this: am I safe to wait a month to replace the lamp? Can I just replace the bulb or do I have to replace the entire thing? Any help is appreciated.
