??? am i missing something here? why is it so cheap?

uh..like??

verified for free shipping, read the dell page again to find if its refurb or returned , could not find any such info..

??? am i missing something here? why is it so cheap?

DLP is old projection technology but it still works well.

DLP is old projection technology but it still works well.
So should i get this or LED or Plasma? I'm so confused, just bought a new house and i'm looking for a new big screen tv

I would prefer LED, but cant find 65 inch led for 800

Keep in mind that all of these movie theater are using DLP projectors, so dlp tv seem to do very good on 3d from what I've heard. Also keep in mind that "3d ready" doesn't exactly mean "3d ready" on this model. While the newer models have the converter built into them, the older models still need you to purchase the converter and 3d glasses, the pack runs for about 400 dollars.

interesting, good to know.

interesting, good to know.


At least I'm pretty sure the majority are using dlp projectors still, some might have gone digital

This is a great price and I have owned this before, it is a great tv. However this has been cheaper, just last her it was 800 with 99 dollars shipping for this AND the 400 dollar 3d starter pack on tigerdirect, so if you cant get it now this will probably crop up again later.

thanks -- i never saw a 65 inch for this cheap before

Lol, dlp!!!!lolololol

if you're going the dlp, then i don't think 65 inches is enough. i say wait for a deal on the 73. totally worth the 200 or so dollars more.

At least I'm pretty sure the majority are using dlp projectors still, some might have gone digital

DLP is digital. And you are right that they use it in theaters.

My family room has a two story ceiling. The wall beside the TV is filled with windows and the wall opposite the TV has a faily large window as well. Would this DLP be easy to view in the room during the daytime?

Walmart and TigerDirect seem to have it for nearly the same price. Last time I was at TigerDirect they also had a bunch of these TVs sold as open box items for $500 I think.

Overall, it's just not that good of a deal.

Lol, dlp!!!!lolololol

idiot....:shake:

If you can get a 55" or bigger plasma for $800, do that (need to live by a Fry's), if not, this is the way to go.

Nothing wrong with DLP and the bulbs last like 5k hours and are only about $100 to replace.

I love my Mitsubishi DLP TV's - I own 3 of them - 60" 65" and 72" - they all ROCK and look fantastic. They rival my 120HZ Aquos LED TV. I rather watch my DLP than my LED - I find it just as good and just as crisp. I own the 3d converter and it cost me $150 from frys with 2 pair of glasses when it went on sale. It works great. THIS IS A GREAT PRICE - you can't go wrong with thsi TV, and DELL is top notch with delivery. ALL 3 I bought from dell and they were professional and careful and great!

I have an 82 inch mitsu dlp and we LOVE it - i defintly prefer it to plasma and led


whats the lowest this has ever been? and any idea if this one will go lower if i wait?

$869.99....am I missing a coupon?

You are comparing a returned item, that you have to strap to your back and drag home vs. a new in box unit.

& at my local TD it was over $600 for the open box. 65"

ETA:
Lol, dlp!!!!lolololol
At least you have your arrogance to insulate you from your ignorance.

DLP is dead technology anyone who buys this set over an new LED set will be very disappointed.

This set is embarrassingly huge!

They are good until the bulb goes pop in 3-4 years and they are expensive to fix.

I spent the last 3 days shopping new TV's. Mostly because of the 55" LCD that Fry's has on clearance for $699 right now (all stores are sold out, AFAIK), so I'll share some of what I've learned.
Common thoughts are that DLP has been the best because the only problem with them is the bulb replacement costs over the years. These DLP's are considered a "flat screen" but are NOT a "pannel" TV. They tend to be 10" to 12" or more in thickness and you are not going to be mounting one on your wall.

Plasma, while brighter than LCD, is still plagued by "burn in" aka showing a ghosting of any image left on the screen for too long even after you change the channel (you know when the channels show their little emblem in the corner, like history channel, CNN, etc... these are perfect for causing burn in.

LCD, while the newest player to the market, is commonly thought to not be bright enough for a well lit room. IMHO this is no longer a problem and LCD is now far superior to BOTH plasma and DLP. A good 120hz (DO NOT GET A 60hz LCD) like the Samsung or LG has a clean crisp image, but if you can find a 240hz or better, in the same ballpark, get it instead. LCDs also draw a LOT less power than an equal size Plasma. Be aware that a "glossy" screen, while it may look great in the store, could end up giving you a HUGE glare in your home depending on the light source in your TV room.

LED is simply a different way of backlighting the LCD screens. LEDs last longer and draw a lot less power, so think of LED as an upgrade or add-on to the LCDs that are available.

So IMHO, if you want to go really big and not spend over $1000 DLP is a good solution. If you don't mind spending over a $1000 there are some great options, if you shop around (Fry's for one), in the 50"+ LCD's. There are also 50+" plasma's for $800ish and more. TV's continue to get bigger while their price tag gets smaller, so the longer you wait the more TV you'll get for your money.

I couldn't have said it better myself. DLP is great, my brother had a 65" Samsung. He saw the new 55" LED and gave the DLP to his in-laws. I guess I'll still call him 'brother'.

$100 for a new bulb that you can replace yourself, against at least $100 for a service call on an LCD/LED/Plasma.

??? am i missing something here? why is it so cheap?

Because the supply of DLP type tv's is high, while the demand for DLP type tv's is low.

So should i get this or LED or Plasma? I'm so confused, just bought a new house and i'm looking for a new big screen tv

If you prioritize picture quality regardless of cost, then get a plasma. If you prioritize picture size over quality and want to get it for lower cost, get a dlp. If you want a compromise between both, get a LCD.

Plasma "burn in" has not been an issue for years.
Not sure why you say that "LCD is now far superior to BOTH plasma and DLP." Plasma has the best picture quality.
Not sure why you say "DO NOT GET A 60hz LCD". Most people could not tell the difference even if you had a 60, 120, 240, 480.....tv's side by side. In fact, some people that can detect any difference prefer 60hz over the others.

Glossy screens are a horrible new trend in all tv's. They should be abolished, along with the glossy frames that reflect too.

Those of you laughing at DLP, you do know that a vast majority of the theaters with digital projectors are using DLP, don't you?

DLP has fallen out of favor with consumers because they aren't thin enough. Sure they're less than 12" deep, but that won't win you any bragging rights in the "mines thinner than yours" contest.

I've got an older Samsung LED driven DLP (no color wheel) and it's nothing short of execellent. When it finally dies, I'll be opening up my wallt and buying a Mitsubishi LaserVue DLP. Well that is unless I can get a 75" Plasma for less than a LaserVue costs.

1. True, this was solved and put in consumer sets over six years ago.
2. True. Plasma is still top of the heap as far as picture quality. IMHO the the Picutre Quality hiearchy is
A. Plasma
B. LED or Laser driven DLP
C. Lamp & Color Wheel DLP
D. LCD with RGB LED based local dimming
E. LCD with White LED based local dimming
F. LCD with White LED back lighting
G. LCD with White LED edge lighting
H. LCD with CCFL back lighting.
3. Not Clear as some 60Hz LCD sets have real problems with 3:2 pull down. 120Hz is a much safer bet.

4. Agreed. Glossy screens are EVIL

I just checked out a DLP tv in sears and they are not far off from the other ones around...

i got and recieved the $703 deal when this was on sale two weeks ago on amazon. this dell model is considered pretty much the same thing. the thing is huge, picture quality is great and crisp. theres a slight matte finish if you sit closer than 8 feet, but further than that, its not noticable. the set gets warm in the back, so even though it is 14" deep, i'd consider putting an additional 5" or so further from the wall for better circulation. even tho the set in the OP is 100 more, the set is worth it :)

This set is embarrassingly huge!
I can never complain about my tv being large :)

That's not what she said, huh? Embarrassingly huge? Seriously?? Lol. Please. This is TVs were talking about. Many people, including myself, want a recreated or similar type effect for watching in their home THEATER as with a movie theater, with the surround sound and the rest. I HATE LED technology and many people report eye strain with looking at it. Again, if you look at the comments people with plasmas and LED will say it is comparable and gives it a good run for its money. Others would say they prefer it over them.

thanks -- i never saw a 65 inch for this cheap before


It is 16" DEEP! Only good if you have a large room...... takes up a lot of floor space!

I see the anti DLP trolls are out as usual.

Plasma "burn in" has not been an issue for years.

1. True, this was solved and put in consumer sets over six years ago.

How was this solved? I thought plasma burn-in is/was still an issue. Any technical documentation to support this? I am really interested if this is true.

Thanks,

Frank

as a lover of my relatively new plasma, I must say I was sad when my old mitz dlp went caput last month. still trying to decide between 2k on a 55 inch plasma vs. 800 on a dlp...

frank, check out avsforum (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=949107)s. great info there. I ran 120 hours using break in slides on my plasma. it matures the crystals in the display making burn in less likely.

I see the anti DLP trolls are out as usual.

yup, still trying to make themselves feel better for spending twice as much as us DLPers :coverlaf:.

It amazes me how this happens in every DLP thread...do any DLPers go into threads for plasma/led tvs and talk sh*t like this? I certainly don't.
Some people just like to run their mouth (or fingers in this case :) )

It is 16" DEEP! Only good if you have a large room...... takes up a lot of floor space!

:lmao:

Are you really that short on space in your house that you would need to store things in the 16 inches under/around your tv? I mean, let's say you bought a 65 inch lcd tv instead...the base would still be at least 12 inches deep and prob 10 wide...is there really any significant difference?
Would the 65 inch lcd tv be "only good if you have a large room" too?

this is a great tv amazingly clear! what a deal!

I have a samsung dlp 61in, bought in 2007, now it has problems, dlp can have problems with spinning color wheel, light bulb, and digital board, among other common components. Now i have to figure out paying sears to look at it for $105 and then see what problem is and see if worth paying to fix, or buying another set around this price.

I have 42" plasma I'm dying to get rid of due to reflections. how is this?
