Projector bulbs

Hi all

Projector just made a loud bang and now has no display, I'm guessing the bulb went pop as fan still runs and green light flashing, but I've not checked it yet.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a bulb from as it looks a bit of a minefield with non oem ones out there?

Cheers
Simon

Optoma HD50 I'll be taking the bulb out for inspection first, its got a six year warranty with richer sounds but I doubt it covers bulbs hence the need for an oem one.

Cheers for replies

How many Hours ?

Last time I checked i think it was 2700 but it's our only "TV" downstairs, so used atleast 3 hours per day.

Yeah I'm just gutted I didn't have a spare to straight swap over

Edit to say i do need to change it for an epsom 9400 as when we moved house it can't go back far enough to fill the 106" screen, currently have a 2" border in addition to the black one built into the screen.
