Price/Size Mistake? Mitsubishi 65" 1080p DLP HDTV 979.99 at CC with Paypal!!

The advertisement on the home page shows the TV for 979.99 after 20 Cash Back with PayPal. When clicked, the item changes to 60"!! You may have to wait for few seconds for the TV ad to appear. I just bought the 73" from CostCo. You may have to call the customer service to get the deal unless they fix the link onsite (if it is not a price mistake).

EDIT : It was not a price mistake. It was Size Mistake. The home page has been fixed now to show 60" TV, probably after someone called. Qualifies for BING Cashback of 15% which should cover more than the shipping cost, if any are interested in the 60" TV.

hmm not a good deal on the home page, not a good deal once clicked either. AWESOME!

Great deal (if it works) - but can you fix the title to reflect that this is a 60" TV

Would have been a good deal if it was the 65, but it was a mistake that has been fixed.

What is a much better deal is the Mitsubishi 73" WD73C9 for $1599 + $99 shipping - $240 Bing CashBack = $1458 delivered!

I purchased the 65" from TD almost 2 years ago as a gift for my wife's family, and except for a bad bulb that was replaced in warranty after about 6 months it is a really nice TV.

While I still personally prefer LCD, for the price, they are tough to beat.

I love my 65" Mits DLP. Does incredible SD scaling, way better than the Samsung DLP I had for two days and took back. This is a great deal, too bad I just bought a couple Panny 42" plasmas for $800 (with free BD player).

That's why you sit in front of them and not behind them.

Bah. I prefer TVs with 360 degree viewing angles.

With the Fatwallet 3% Cash Back ($30), $20 Paypal Cash Back, and the Bing 15% Cash Back ($150) wouldn't that make it $800 not including shipping?

Move a foot up or down and the picture changes drastically from bright to dim. That's the big downside with DLP sets. Ok, if you sit back far enough the sweet spot expands (the arc for the same angle increases). However if you sit that far back the picture becomes so small the advantages of a big screen are wiped out. Perhaps for some people with really long narrow rooms this would be a good fit, but the average household would do better with a much wider viewing angle.

Definitely not price mistake. It's a junk DLP and junk resolution. I won't buy it even for $500.

DLP sucks. Why do you think most legit TV companies have moved beyond this late 90s technology? Because it's BAD.

this is a bit of an exaggeration. we sit about 11 feet from ours and the brightness is fine. dont set it really high or low. the only reason dlps were never that popular is because stores would put them on a top shelf--of course it's going to look bad.

Amazing that someone cares about how thick their TV is, is that a status symbol? It slays me that the weekend ads tend to highlight that fact very prominently. I don't know about those folks but I usually watch the front of my televisions, not the side (just how good is that side pic anyway?)

DLP sucks huh? I've got them all, plasma, LCD, LCD Projection and DLP, all 1080P.

First off, unless you sit them next to each other you can't tell the difference except the occasional smearing from the 32" LCD. Second, while the DLP doesn't have as good a viewing angle as the plasma, I normally don't stand up while watching the tube so it doesn't matter that much to me.
Third, my plasma sucks up 500 watts of power and it's only a 50" unit. My DLP at 71" only eats 160 watts. I'd like to think I'm being green...
Fourth, I can buy a 73" DLP today for the same price as a 55-58" plasma, as long as I'm not a snob about the thickness that bigger pic is gonna win every time!

Just my two cents worth...

But how far for a 60" DLP, 30 feet?

This TV was already addressed in another thread. You can buy a Samsung 40 LCD/LED for $1,200 and a 46" sharp LCD/LED for $1,200. Why buy 2006 technology?

You can sit 8 to 10 feet from this and be fine. It's all about the size. That 73" DLP would make you feel like sitting in a movie theater with proper sound. There is no way to go back to a small 40" or 42" TV once you have owned one of these monsters. I hate that the LED DLP technology from Samsung was scrapped. That was a great way to get a huge TV with a great picture on the cheap. I agree that DLP's time is almost up, as Mitsubishi is the only company still making them. I'm afraid it's more for aesthetic reasons than anything else. Everyone wants to be cool and hang their TV on a wall. Shame...

Really? I've never seen a DLP mounted high on a shelf. Every DLP I have ever seen displayed has been at floor level on a stand.

marko34256 said: tante said: I don't think this is a price mistake, this is a DLP. 15 or so inches deep.

unless you're worried about mounting it over your fireplace (which is completely idiotic imho)

Why did people ever start mounting TVs over their fireplace? That looks so ridiculous!

i always see them up on the top shelf, looking super dim. either way, even if it's on the lower shelf, chances are that it's too low for people that are walking up to them and standing over them.

[quote]I hate that the LED DLP technology from Samsung was scrapped.[/quote]

managed to snag one of these as an open box item from a best buy for about $1600 after tax back in July. easily the best tv for the money--especially at that size.

horizontal viewing angles are fine, it's really only the vertical angles that suffer.

I don't like them because they have poor convergence that leads to ugly color fringes.

For those that want 60" or more, DLP is the best bang for the buck. A plasma or LCD is at least twice the price, and many people don't see the point in paying that much for what they perceive to be a small quality difference.
ANightShopper said: I don't like them because they have poor convergence that leads to ugly color fringes.DLP has no convergence issues. Color wheel DLPs have rainbow effect issues for some people, but that's due to fast eye movement, not convergence.

So which is it, 2006 or late 90s? Let's stop this garbage now. Color LCDs came out in the 80s. DLP was invented in 1987. They are both "mature" technology. Like I said in the other thread, come back and talk to me when your 40" LCD does Nvidia 3D (which it does so well because the refresh rates blow away LCD) as well as my 61" LED DLP.

Both techs have plus and minus. Saying DLP is an older tech is just wrong.

Someone quoted - "This TV was already addressed in another thread. You can buy a Samsung 40 LCD/LED for $1,200 and a 46" sharp LCD/LED for $1,200. Why buy 2006 technology?"

Are you really comparing 40" & 46" TVs to 60"??? I can barely see a 46" from couch
