Mitsubishi Electronics C Series 82-inch DLP TV - WD-82C12 1080P $1299.00 With FS

Quote from trader14 : great deal on a horrible tv...i just sold my 82737 that i bought 2 years ago for $1350

My fiancee cheated on me after buying her a DLP TV.
DLP TV's are horrible, I agree.

Quote from ffactoryxx : This version have 3d?

I don't believe so.

Its because she found out I had the bigger 92" version. Sorry duders

But you can see how the logic of DLP haters works by inference.

I did a fair amount of research on this, almost bought the 3d version from dell but they were priced higher than other retailers. First off I would only get the 3d one, but that's my preference. Second, I've heard mostly good things about the picture. Third, the big problem is the bulb goes. If you watch tv a lot it'll go faster. Some have claimed a litttle over a year to replace the bulb. At 400 bucks or more, that's a bit pricey. And lastly, the size can be a problem for some. It's a dlp rear projection so you need space for it. Ultimately I almost got a 60 inch 3d hdtv, I forget if it was plasma or led lcd for 1197, but decided to wait till next year. We have 3 big screens already. I also considered a 3D projector from dell, along with a $125 120" screen. Total would have been under 650 before tax. But next year I'll probably be able to get a 70" led lcd 3d hdtv for under 1200, which is the deal I'm looking for.

I think you may be way off about the lamp life and cost. The lamps are $100, not $400. Slight difference. And the lamps usually last a lot longer than a year. Mine had 5500 hours on it and still looked good.

Quote from daiei27 : Did you see it in a store? I haven't found anywhere that carries any of the DLPs on the floor... Seems to be online only.

Fry's in Downers Grove IL, had one out not long ago.

I got an extra $75 GC from buying the XPS8500 deal. Couldn't apply both. If anybody needs it I'm going to sell for $65 to a fellow SDer!

Quote from sklar : Yup, I agree with your disagreement! My 73" looks great! Sure, 1080p on an 82 or 92" set isnt as good as 4k. But where do you get a 4k 82" set for a little over a grand? C'mon man! I've never, ever had anyone make any "oh god, the pixels are too big" comments, at least not regarding the tv.

I disagree with your agreement of his disagreement.

(I just wanted to say that)

It may be time to upgrade my 73" to this if I can get 15% cashback with Discover

And for the record, the bulbs from Mitsubishi's own website are only $120 shipped, nowhere near $400..and they usually last anywhere from 2 to 5 years, depending on TV useage

There's also a way to get a free replacement lamp off the Mitsubishi site if ya say your bulb burnt out right before the year warranty is up. Worked like a charm on all 3 of my previous Mits TVs

Just wanted to elaborate on why i sold my 82" mitsu dlp-
1) after installing a 10 foot screen with our 8350 projector we literally never used it
2) during the night the picture was outstanding but during the day it is washed out
3) viewing angles weren't great - so much better straight on

with all that said this price is a great price for the tv but would never recommend anyone every buy it at any price

Thanks for the heads up OP. I was able to get Best Buy to price match so I could use my gift cards and get free delivery.

And bulbs are much cheaper on Amazon. You can get the bulb for this tv under $60.

Honest question: why(other than price)is anyone still buying DLP?? Not hating on you guys, I know the picture is nice. But no way would I go with DLP and the bulb issues that my buddy had with his Mitsu. Better off waiting for a deal on a 70 LED IMO...

Quote from emfish11 : I own the 73 and just bought the 92 and I have had no issues with picture quality on the mitsubishis.

may I ask how big is your room and any recommendation on how big the room should be....i have small basement but still interested in mitsubishis.
