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

horrible TV?

I just saw a 82" TV for the first time yesterday when shopping, and I have to say they're horrible. 1080p only looks so good up until 50-60 inches. Anything beyond that, it begins to blur or look pixelated. There was a 50" TV right next to the 82" and you can see the night and day difference of clarity between the two.

blah blah blah - none of your anecdotal ramblings have anything to do with whether this is a good price for this product.

Disagree. I'm actually looking at buying the 73" version right now, and although I've never seen the 82" version I can attest that the 73" looks pretty clean to me

/e

$195 back with shop discover

stack with 400/75 gc deal? I have the 82738 from the BB deal last year, so far so good, only complaint is the fan noise.

Wow, ..................Great price & then bring it down another $150 to $1149 with 2 $75 Promo Gift Cards.

buy 3 @$400 or more, as you need to cover sales tax, combine the 3, then pay for it with the one combined & the 2 promos.......................
you will have another $75 promo left over to use in the next 90 days...........

but Hurry,............................ the $75 promos end today

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.

82C12 vs. the 82740 deal last week at Pauls TV?
 

Can you elaborate on the 400/75 gift card deal and/or provide a link? I think I missed that posting here.

Also, can anyone comment on the 82C12 vs. the 82740 deal last week at Pauls TV?

See http://slickdeals.net/f/5444428-D...eGift-Card

& above quote of mine..............

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

I have the 82738 and it looks beautiful, even SD picture looks great, no issues here. May you should visit the AVS Forum and other sites that give calibration settings to improve the picture quality.

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.

This version have 3d?

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

I don't believe so.

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

:lol: :bounce:



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.

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!

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...

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.

This set makes a viable alternative to a mid-range projector. I am happy with my 720p projector setup in my basement theater, but this set would be pretty tempting if I was building it now. As far as the comments regarding pixilation - its a 82" screen. Its meant to be viewed from 8-10 feet away, not two feet away in a store display setting. This TV is meant for a home theater setup.

Either way your eye wouldn't tell the difference.
Read somewhere your TV would need to be about 10 foot for 4k to become noticeable, or one would have to sit really close to it.

That said, This is a great deal.
About bulbs. I have a 61 Samsung that's about 7 years old now. Only replaced the bulb once about 2 years go.

im jelly, we should hang out some time

Thats one of the most disconjointed comments ive ever read on here. :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

REP'D!!!

Hmmm, I thought all Mitsubishi DLP TVs were 3D, but after looking at the specs on the Mitsubishi site, it does not mention 3D anywhere.

http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/tv/W...ifications

Yeah, this model is the bare bones version. It also only has 2 HDMI inputs where as the others have 3.

The room I have the 73 in is 13x22 and I'm replacing the 73 with the 92 when it comes in this week.

Show me a 70" LED w/ a price anywhere near this...

No tv, be it Plasma, LCD, LED (also led but you get the idea), or DLP can be judged in a store. Only once its home in the environment it's meant for, followed by being properly calibrated. That's when you can review the picture. Not in the store.

I think Costco had the 70" Vizio for $1500, not sure it that's still going or how good the picture quality is. I think Walmart has it for $1649.

Tons of people watch 1080p on a 120" projector and it looks great. What are you talking about? On a 65" TV a Bluray is going to look like crap? Uhhhh no.

Key word in my quote was "waiting"...could be a week, could be 6 months. But the 70 LED's are going to drop fast starting soon....

Yeah, in about 15yrs youll be able to get an 82" LED for 1200 bucks. People.

A great price for a TV that won't last. I own a 73" and it now suffers from white dot syndrome and Mitsubishi won't stand by their product. It requires a new chip and the cost is upwards of 400.00 for repair.

http://forums.cnet.com/7723-7596_...rs-thread/

Solid point. A lot of people watch 120" LCD projected images. DLP has less screen door.

15 years?? I'd say very soon. 15 years I wouldn't put an 82" in my bathroom....

I would get this before the 70" Vizio though. I can't imagine a black screen is pretty to look at on a Vizio 70" edge lit TV. On AVSForums I've seen complaints about a lot of light bleed and flashlighting and all that. And banding. Which is really annoying. None of those problems with a DLP.

The thread you're referencing doesn't talk about this model.

nice find cubs......my 60 inch is still going strong after 2 years. No issues.

I had a Samsung DLP and I was stocking on DLP lamps - they are expensive.
It was great 2-3 years until started having trouble with its ballast and/or color wheel.
I spent couple hundreds for do-it-yourself fixing it and then I sold it along with spare parts (lamp + ballast). After about a year it's having other symptoms like image freezing for 30 seconds...

I will NEVER buy a DLP again even it's the best SD / year!!!

good luck buyers!

What bulb issues? It's $100 for a new bulb and it is incredibly easy to replace.

Have you got the 92 hooked up yet?

I have had the 73 since last year and LOVE IT in hi-def at night.....(lots of windows but fine during the day.) Everyone who has seen ours seems to love it as well. Night time hi def viewing is jaw dropping on our 73...

I was wondering how the 92 looked as we almost pulled the trigger, but decided to wait a year, on the 92.

+++++unrealated pay pal issue that I have posted in the past here on slickdeals and many were not aware of it so I will repost here for those that may not know......if you paid for anything recently on pay pal from sears, kmart, tiger direct, and others, they used to, and still may, use a method during their check out procedure that actually allows them to charge your account, at their discrection, WITHOUT YOU having to sign on to pay pal to pay them. If you search you can find sd'ers that this has happened too, money taken out of their accounts for pricing mistakes, ect. by merchents in the past...... You can sign on to your pay pal account and go to your profile/payment methods.....it is called recurring payments but it allows merchants to charge your account WITHOUT you having to sign on to pay pal and actually pay them....you, often unknowingly, agree to this during the rushed check out procedure during the holidays....sorry but I havn't checked mine in a while to give exact place on pay pal it is stored, but it is called "recurring payments" and is buried deep within pay pal......I see no upside at all for buyers, just an easy way for merchants to get money from your accounts that you may not be aware of, and can cause a cascading effect of overdrafts at the bank, ect, even if it is an honest mistake on the sellers end, or maybe they get hacked......you can stop this from happening, and disable the option in pay pal, by merchant name, mine has several of the same merchant as each purchase gives the merchant the right all over again, ugg, +++++++++++

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.

2 HDMI ports?? What is this 2004??

Most people with an 82" TV won't listen to audio through two 3" paper speakers so they probably only need 1 HDMI to go to their receiver.

Any one know of a good stand for this tv?

:lmao:

I haven't got it yet. It should come in at the end of the week. I love my 73 but I couldn't pass up the 92

The C12 series has really been striped compared to the 82740 or even past C models; I personally will not buy the C series TV again. They have really striped them to the bone and IMO a shell of a TV it use to be... The C12 series can not do 3D anymore (C11 and previous could do 3D), very low amount of menu options/inputs, and much more... Try and least get the 82740.
-Really look into the features of the C models compared, Here is something to look at with the 73 version difference http://www.avsforum.com/t/1427339...s-wd-73c12 )... The 82740 has internet streaming apps, 3D and phone app remote control. (Also there more menu features and Input/Output). ((Think Tiger its 200$more for 82740 refurb, minus what your shipping/tax comes to)
Many of the past owners of the C Models (like me) will find they are very lacking compared to the C11 models and before. (3 years ago you have a really hard time to find if any differences between the C and the other of the Mid-Models, slight changes in the last 2 pervious, major changes for the 2012 models). The C12 should not be your main viewing TV as its lacking, maybe for the man cave as a 2nd.
http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/ and view your features to cost before purchase.

I have the 82740 which I purchased this past March and the picture is fantastic! I love the 3D also, bought the glasses online refurbed Blick's. ANyway as far as picture quality goes, with hd content, it looks amazing. I sit about 9 feet away and it's bliss! On SD, what do you expect? It's blurry and crappy. Sure a plasma or LCD may have higher brightness side to side, but this set is plenty bright for me.
Also, as far as price goes, this is a great set. Can't beat the price for this size. The only thing I'm concerned about is replacing the bulb, but that is a minor concern, and I knew about it buying the set. Otherwise, I don't think you'll regret any Mitsu DLP.

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.

Aww Damn! Should of waited 3 years for this... got the 73 inch for $1500 back in the days. Oh well. Me and my tv have had many good times.

Yup I have a pass through receiver... that just died. Got the Yamaha deal on Amazon the other day.

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

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. ;)

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.

Signed: Prior owner within the last 2-years.

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.

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.

They would if it was under warranty. ALWAYS, ALWAYS buy the square trade 3-4 year warranty with any large TV. If you are spending 1k plus on a tv, buy the square trade warranty.
Mitsubishi is in a class action suit right now with people who own the older 52 and 62 inch xx525 and xx725 chassis models who are having capacitor problems and they are paying for chassis repairs and/or money towards a new set.
