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

Quote from mclovin07 : 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...

My Parents have had the 65" for over two years and I have the 73" going on 18 months without any issues.

/Haters gonna hate

someone help me, I have 73c11 from last year later I bought poineer vsx 1121-k with 5.0 JBL home theater system, I wanted to know how the audio from TV pass back thru home theater when I am just watching TV (I don't have dish or anything that sort, I am just using antenna over the air HD and non HD channels), I talked to Mits customer care they said i have to buy a audio cable to pass the audio back to 1121-k, i am really not sure what the cable would be? can someone tell me? please let me know if i am not clear.

I also have nsz-gt1 connected to 1121-k which connected to TV, i can able to get the audio on my speakers, but when i try to watch tv thru antenna, i can't hear the audio on my home theater, audio just coming from TV speakers

Quote from Hrshycro : If you're going to spend this much, and have a dark toom at home, just buy a projector. I've been nothing but happy with my $600 Optimo HD20 projected on a matte white wall at 160". Even 720p looks good.

How long has the bulb lasted on it and how much do they cost? I'd really like a front projector but the bulb life and cost make me 2nd guess.

I think the bulb is supposed to last 2500-3000 hours. 10 hours a week * 52 = 520. 520 * 5 = years.

Bulbs from china are half the price of Optimo bulbs, so $150 - $275ish. Last I checked. In 5 years, something new and better will be out. Heck, 5 years from now, I'll be able to buy an 80" plasma for $600, so I'll just junk the projector.

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

Finally, a reasonable comment regarding why DLPs are "no good". Your explanation make sense!

I am very tired of the negative comments regarding DLP. DLP is a great value for the money.

I had a 65C9 that I just sold to get a plasma. Did none of you guys get the DSE (dirty screen effect) when it was something like a bright sky scene? I watch NBA alot and the court would get it. It makes it look like the screen has dust all over it. It kind of bothered me. I hear that it's much better when you go to the 82842 instead of 82742 because of the glossy screen instead of the matte. You have to pay a lot more for the glossy though and it was too rich for my blood. I'm going down 5" for a plasma in my price range.

Quote from mattzane227 : You're talking about a different brand and a model that is years old. What does that have to do this this TV? The bulbs aren't expensive and they last a long time.

They both use similar technology. They both have a mechanical spinning color wheel. At that time the bulbs were also supposed to last 2-3 years. My original bulb lasted a bit over 2 years. The second one lasted even less.
That's funny, when I decided to buy a DLP I was arguing with myself using similar arguments like the ones I am reading here... it was fun to be in mid December and my DLP was broken - lucky with SD!
Again, good luck with your purchase!

Any way to fix that. I had that issue. Played hockey and it looked like dust on the back of the screen.

To fix what? the color wheel? Usually when that one is broken in any way the TV won't start. Unfortunately there can be a lot of possible issues going on in a DLP, so I won't venture to diagnose, you will have to search support on line for your specific model, make and issue.

So maybe I am not having the dirty screen issue and there is just dust on the lens.
