Nitrousbird Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Okay, it was used, but bought it on Black Friday: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=168&pictureid=3379 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=168&pictureid=3380 73" Mitsubushi DLP Manfactured 9/09, guy said he bought it 10/09. Tried returning it, but was outside his return date. From what I figured out (I never got the whole truth), he bought it to replace the LCD his kids broke, and this TV was VERY inappropriate for the room he had it in (basically unwatchable). I think his wife said to get rid of it. Scored it for $1000 WITH the stand, which is a decent enough stand. Had to drive over an hour to get it, and spent an hour cleaning it (mostly the stand, it was freaking nasty). SSSSOOOO worth it. Blu-ray looks amazing now vs. how it only looked slightly better than DVD on our old 50" LCD rear projection 720p TV. HD looks better now too. Standard definition and DVD looks slightly worse, but our 50" is REALLY good at displaying non HD content. Best TV deal on Black Friday.

Nitrousbird Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looks far better than when the old TV was there: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7310/dsc01714wdv.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 what you doing with the old one? Old one is now in our bedroom. Took my 57" CRT rear projection (HD, but 225lbs of heavy) out of the bedroom and it is now in the basement - will be the workout room TV.

Sully Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Very nice! I paid $1,200 for my 60" DLP a year ago at Best Buy. I thought that was a pretty good deal then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Those are nice sets, buddy has one that we play games on all the time. I just can't get back into DLP after going Panny Plasma honestly. You can't beat DLP for Price per inch value however. Nice buy brosef.

I just can't get back into DLP after going Panny Plasma honestly. You can't beat DLP for Price per inch value however. Nice buy brosef. 73" Plasma = very pricey. Plus, a Plasma would be worthless in that room...way too much light; all you would see is your own reflection. LCD's past 58" are VERY expensive, so DLP was really our only option. same, but at circuit city is it the wd73737? my buddy has the 73735 (last years model), but he got it basically right when it was released and paid 3600 for the tv and stand. WD-73C9. Honestly, all three models they offer in 73" are pretty much identical. From what I read online, even options they say are turned off on this model really aren't. Hardware is identical other than this only has 3 HDMI inputs (only the 837 has 4)...and since I only need to use one, no biggie for me. nice tv is that land of the lost? Transformers on Blu-ray.

JaSSon Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Why don't you put some blinds on those windows? Edit: and don't say you can't. My parent's old house had vaulted ceilings like that with the high windows. They had fabric blinds. They looked very nice and offered privacy and blocked some light.

Our plasma sits in a room with 2 windows, sliding doors, and about 8 upstairs sun lights from the loft above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Why don't you put some blinds on those windows? Edit: and don't say you can't. My parent's old house had vaulted ceilings like that with the high windows. They had fabric blinds. They looked very nice and offered privacy and blocked some light. Ehh, blinds wouldn't look right there. I've seen blinds on windows like that, and I don't like them. We don't have a privacy issue at the back of our house, so they aren't necessary at all. Clearly you haven't shopped for NEW plasma's in a few years. Our plasma sits in a room with 2 windows, sliding doors, and about 8 upstairs sun lights from the loft above... I did shop for NEW Plasmas, even ones with the anti-reflective technology, and they still reflect like crazy. Trust me, I was all for a Plasma...they just reflect too much. Thats a nice TV. I almost bought that exact one. I love how thin the edge around the screen is. The thin edge is awesome. They really did a good job improving the case on their newer models.
