For the price, I wasn't expecting much (maybe just the lamp, although the housing was pictured). But it arrived quickly, the packaging was good and included the housing! I was trying to be careful and had to push a bit more than I thought to get it seated properly. The only tricky part was lining up the plug. At first I thought it didn't work because the status lights on the outside of the TV did not come on right away. But the picture came on shortly and is clear/bright.
