Mitsubishi WD-73742 73" Class DLP 3D HDTV - 1080p, 16:9, 120Hz, HDMI, Wi-Fi Ready, StreamTV Internet Media (Refurbished) -$850.00

Quote from Jaguar77 : That BF deal was not "this" tv. It was last years model and was a model step down from this one. It was the x640, last year's version of the x642. This is the 742.

I don't doubt you at all, but at this point in time, given how much the larger thin panels have come down in price - seems that this tv is relatively overpriced. Just my two cents, which is about the value difference between the x640 and 742.

Quote from v0vax : I have this TV. Buy this : http://www.amazon.com/Dimensional...lp+emitter - Get Active IR 3D Glasses - PS3 with 3D or Using my Boxee - I get perfect 3D at home!

Do the PS3 glasses work with only the PS3 or can you use them with other 3-d programming on your mitsubishi???

The 3D PS3 glasses work fine with any 3D content on this mitsu....

have a pair of the Dimensional Optic 3D glasses with the emitter and a pair of the PS3 glasses..... both pairs work great, no noticeable difference whatsoever... except the PS3 glasses were only $17.99ea..

I use the PS3 glasses with it!

Frys had the deal on Black Friday for the 73" Mitsu for $799... they wouldn't tell you what moedl it was for over the phone but when I tried to do a price match with Pauls Tv found out it was the 642 series.... and after shipping and taxes Pauls Tv was only a few $ more at the time.... the main difference between the 640's and 740's is the 640's do not have stream TV or WIFI connection and you need an emitter for 3D where the 740's have the 3D emitter built in so you can use cheaper 3D glasses like the ones for PS3 with no problem.....

I ended up getting the 82" when it came down to $1399 for a few days before Xmas at Tiger Direct instead of the 73"....... had purchased the 65" in 2008 to replace my 53" Pioneer Elite and loved it, got another 65" Mitsu in 2011 and never had any problems with any of the DLP's... only had to replace a bulb once for $75 in 5 years... with my theatre setup no one could tell it was a DLP when sitting on couch or watching movies... the depth of TV wasn't visible.... every Tv was professionally calibrated and I can say only 1 other TV I have owned... a 50" plasma has a better picture... mainly due to deeper blacks... other than that I wouldn't switch out the DLP for anything considering the price range per inch.... but to each their own based on personal preferences and available setup scenerio....


It looks like the 73642 is the only one they have left in stock now - $799..... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applic...CatId=5193

I doubt prices will ever go any lower based on the increasing scarcity of Mitsu TV's now... I've been lurking for months to try and find a firesale on any 92" with no luck...

I picked up the 70" version of this set a few years ago (thanks to Slickdeals) and it is a great tv. I built it into the wall of our media room so it is flush with the wall and trimmed with molding.

My son plays his xbox360 (via HDMI) and is looks great. I have Directv, OTA, Roku (thanks SD), blue ray and HTPC and they all look great. I haven't noticed the slightest imperfection or any dimming (after years of constant use). I have had a 50" Samsung DLP in our family room (integrated into a wall of built-in cabinetry) for at least 5 years and it has performed extremely well under great duress. With three young kids, that tv has been on an ungodly amount of time (just thinking about it makes me think that I am a bad parent) and I just replaced the bulb for the first time about a month ago. Good as new.

I also have a couple flat screen LCDs (Sony, Philips, etc. 40-50") that I use as computer monitors/TVs in the kitchen and library. The Mitsubishi is as good or better than any of them. Plus, it is huge. The only downside is having hooked up the xbox to it, I have limited access to it.

When the 80" is on fire sale, I might not be able to help myself.

Quote from sterlbomb : 799.99 + 50 dollars for the 1 year tigerdirect "innercircle" membership, total of $850 (if you don't buy the innercircle membership the shipping and handling is 100 so it saves you 50 bucks) This is a refurbished TV - I'm seeing it anywhere from 1000-1200 at other sites for the same thing, and new is like 1400-1800 depending on where you shop.

Good deal. The c12 version of this (basically lose the 3rd hdmi input and the 3d option) was on sale for 799 new with a few left in stock at hh gregg last week. I was able to get a return with their 5 year service / replacement plan (includes bulb replacement) for $999 on friday last week. I have a huge living room and the 55 inch LCD I had in there seemed tiny. This looks AMAZING!!!

If only my townhouse wasn't so small...

I bought the WD-60C9 nearly 3 years ago. If you have the right setup the picture quality on these can be outstanding.

I had a 50" next to a 73" Mits and the 50" looked very SMALL. I would like to purchase this but I feel price point is a bit off. Should be sub $700. Mits DLPs are great!

Thanks OP!

I paid for it with my new Amex Gold Card, so I should get my 50,000 points pretty soon. Amex doubles the warranty even on refurb items.

I would be very wary of bestcompsolution.

They actually got a good write up in Resellers Reports. Don't know much about them but I know people want those jumbo jumbo screens. You really can't get ripped off if you pay with a credit card.
