MITSUBISHI WD-92840 92" 16:9 Black DLP 3D Home Cinema TV $2,588.99

Quote from cconklin1 : Great link for an incredible JVC projector, but I am still waiting for the link for a 3 chip dlp projector for $3k. Let me know when you have one for me.. The screen recommendation from monoprice is about the only thing you posted that is worth reading...

D-ILA gets rid of rainbow effect, thats all im concerned with. Realistically you can get a far superior picture than this DLP with a $1000 epson 8350.

I guess ignorance is bliss and all that jazz, i just know my friends have seen my projector and would see any dlp rear projector as a downgrade. I would especially hate it since i typically sit off to the side of the screen so my friends can get the better seats.

Quote from Gotchaforce : D-ILA gets rid of rainbow effect, thats all im concerned with. Realistically i rather have a $1000 epson 8350 than a 92" $2600 DLP with horrible screen quality and horrible viewing angles.

You were talking about a "3 chip dlp", NOT D-ila... And do you know what that JVC screen would look like on a 110 screen with ANY ambient light? Of course not, or you would not post sutpid shit like you did. Do you even know the difference between projection technologies? a 3 chip LCD gets rid of the "rainbow effect" as well...
When you get married some day you will realize aesthetics come into play sometimes and that not everyone want a projector hanging in their living room and want to watch TV in the dark..

Geez, calm down kid. You've both stated your opinions so let's move on.

So wait, what are we talking about? the practicality of the technologies or the inferiority of dlp for picture quality?

The concept of a wife wanting a 92" big black box in her room is hilarious. No, i think men and women alike wouldnt want a big hideous black box dominating their living room, you get a 50-65" plasma wall mounted, then you can get a motorized screen. More complex solution but its a lot better then plunking $2600 on something that doesnt do anything right.

Yes, because the Epson has NO issues with brightness drop off once you are off axis. Also, the Epson does put out a great picture if you feel like sitting in the dark when watching it.
I am far from ignorant on the subject of projectors and rear projection televisions. I currently have 60" Mitsubishi DLP, 67" Samsung LED dlp,(you might like this one, no color wheel) various plasma screens and a 110" Firehawk screen with a Panasonic 7000 3D projector.
Each has it's strength's and each has it's weakness'. To put a blanket comment out like you did is just stupid....

Can you clarify what weaknesses you think DLP rear projectors have?

+1 on projector, if you can afford the space for one. You don't need a dedicated room or need to be rich to afford a decent home theater projector setup, but many people think quite the opposite.

Bulbs may be slightly more expensive, but it gives you a lot more flexibility (can use it outdoors, more mobile, adjustable screen size etc.)

As for size and weight, these wont break your back going down the stairs, as they aren't like DLPs of old where they way a metric ton. I had the 60" and it was quite flexible and movable, so I imagine this one would be the same. You will likely have more issues with space and not weight, as maneuvering it into your basement/other area may be tough around corners.

These bigger DLPs are great if you like convenience and ease of use though. I personally went with a budget projector setup and haven't even wired anything through my walls, but when I move to a real house instead of my condo I'll be sure to have a room dedicated to the purpose. I have been tempted more than once to replace the projector with one of these Mitsubishi DLPs though, if anything for simplicity sake.

Other than that, you can get a good Epson or a slightly used JVC for $1500 or under $2000 even, or a slightly cheaper epson with an extra bulb and come out ahead, giving you extra cash for speakers/receiver, wiring, a screen, etc.

Quote from Gotchaforce : These DLPs look so bad in real life. Not only do you have to sit directly in front of them but the screen texture is grainy. For 3k you could pick up a nice 3 chip dlp projector and do a 110" image... waaay better

eggsactly. you could do that for half that price, albeit lower quality but fantastic.


EDIT: I meant on the projector part. DLPs are not bad but nothing compares to a projector in the same price range as these TV's. As long as your ambient lighting isn't terrible

Quote from Xymox : My friend spent $2000 and we didn't break one another's neck carrying the projector down the stairs. To each his own.

Which projector did your friend buy? For the money, this is one of the only current projectors that would match this television's picture quality:

http://www.amazon.com/Epson-Power...B006JGHF70

I have owned the Epson 6500UB, and the Epson 8700UB and both of them are about equal (minus 3D), but are no longer being produced.

Im just waiting for this thing to reach $2000 then Ill buy and hopefully from Dell.

Here are pics of my 73" on the Ikea Stand , doesn't look grainy to me.

73" Hooked up to HTPC

Also , not sure why anyone would mention wife and 92" Mitsubishi in the same sentence. Unless it had the phrase Christmas gift as well.

You won't get the black level this DLP gets from the 8350, and you will have a lot more motion blur with the Epson.

Quote from Gotchaforce : Can you clarify what weaknesses you think DLP rear projectors have?

Sure. the physical depth of this one at 24" deep is kinda hard for some people to get over. However, if you have your big screen in a nice custom made wall unit in a big enough room, then this is less an issue. Bulb replacement, while simple and straightforward, scares some people.
And yes, for some the rainbow effect is an issue. However, there are very very few people whom this is an issue for.
the positives are that you don't need a dedicated light controlled room to watch tv. The price/performance ratio for 92" is also a positive. Bulb replacement can also be seen as a positive as it basically makes your tv "new" again....

Quote from ninedayfall75 : You won't get the black level this DLP gets from the 8350, and you will have a lot more motion blur with the Epson.

ehhhhhhh, agree with you on the first point but the epson is quite good at handling fast motion. The epson was on my short list with the Panny 7000, but I ended up with the Panny for a variety of reasons..

I bought this T.V stand back in May , I am sure it will be on sale again sooner or later . I went over it with Minwax Wipe on Poly and also used a product by Elmer's called Glue-All to put it together, its looks great and fits my 73 inch DLP just fine HEMNES TV Bench – $159, originally $199

Let me ask to all projector lovers, do you use it for day to day for aleast 10hrs? If yes then how long lamp will last on it and cost of replacement?

I understand th importance of projector as well as DLP. I will only consider projector when its full 3D LED which gives life of lamp longer than DLP..
