I just replaced the bulb in my Samsung DLP a few weeks ago, it was 
trivial.  Remove one screw to take off a plastic panel to access the 
bulb housing, losen two screws, remove housing, install new housing, 
tighten two screws, replace panel, replace outside screw, and done. 
Takes less than five minutes.

I got my replacement bulb on ebay from someone local, i think it was 
$180, and he delivered it to my door since he was in the neighborhood. 
(THAT's how you get positive feedback.)
