Mitsubishi 73" DLP WD-73C12 for $849 @ Dell w/Free Shipping

Quote from Dallas.Maverick : Not sure why this seems to be a popular deal, Frys had the better version of this TV on sale yesterday for $799 (WD-73642). I picked one up and I love it. Here is the post from yesterday and it didn't get as much liking: http://slickdeals.net/f/5548554-F...DLP-TV-800 Might I add that last year, this 73 was going for $699 at besybuy, just search the forums, so 849 definitely is too high to the base model especially when you have to pay tax on orders from Dell. Get it from www.paulstv.com and most likely you won't have to pay taxes.

This one has free shipping though. Even if I did pick it up at Fry's I have no way of getting it home lol.

The Fry's deal did have free shipping. free for the first 20 miles from the store, then additional cost per mile.

Standing in line for a Black Friday deal at Fry's was extremely unappetizing, and the difference simply was not that much compared to Paul's deal. So went with Paul's instead.

should say 850, that's more accurate

Quote from old_english_d : No Frys near here

I believe last year's $699 BB price was a price mistake and was only live for a couple of hours. $799 is a great price for this TV.

wheres that guy that bought a DLP for his Fiancee and found out she was bonking the best buy geek squad TV delivery/set up guy and is now on a crusade to stop everyone from buying a DLP?

I didn't stand in line to get this, the Plano TX Frys store still had 14 left at noon which is when I went in and just picked up mine. I did have to remove the seats from my minivan and cut the TV out of the box but Frys employees helped with it and it wasn't much trouble.

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better having paid $799 for it. I agree it is a great price. Everyone complains about DLP's but I love it. This is my second. My other Samsung 50" Plasma that I purchased at Frys two years back for $499 already has developed vertical red & blue lines across the screen. I see no reason not to go with DLPs especially when you are going to save so much compared to LEDs and get a much larger TV than what you can otherwise afford or rather be willing to pay for.

Quote from trackers55 : The DLP you have to replace the build when they die out don't you? These are $100 Plus a shot

Depends on the HDTV. The upside is DLPs are VERY energy efficient per square inch. They still provide a good bang for the buck for 70inch and above.

Gave the GF my old 46 inch, and the cost of the bulb is LESS than it would cost to operate a 32 inch CRT by a solid $20/year operating at 16hrs/day.

Factor in under $1000 for 70+ inches and the cost of a bulb and it is an attractive option.

I have owned 3 3D DLP Mitsu's sets and I have always been happy with them and service. But to keep costs to an extreme low, for a note they have striped allot away from the C series over the last few years. From Inputs and Outputs, the remote (Use to be Universal), Menu options and other little things. (Use to be where the C was just a renamed middle version and what you expect from Mid/High set options)... The things they have taken from the C series, just about makes it to where you must have a better remote and an A/V receiver.
-But Still I will 100% purchases another set someday from Mitsu, just wont get a C model, (Had a C9 that came with allot of extras), My Current 65" is not C... Just waiting for a Cheaper LaserVue Set for my next...

-Hopefully someone at Mitsu will start moving more on the Lazervue Projection that has amazing potential. They are outstanding color spectrum and deepest blacks and the whites are spot on, also power consumption is like lower then 100watts, nothing I seen compares to it with a under 5k cost... They really could have (still can) gone far with them. Now with 4k rez, Lasers should be able to really shine as it should be no problem from them to achieve it at a low cost compared to Flat!!!
