Mitsubishi WD-60735 60-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV - HELP

[GOAT]

thinking about grabbing this... anyone have it or know someone that has it? How does it stack up... I really cant decide if I want to go Plasma, LCD or DLP... i love the biggest picture but dunno if the "more grainy" pictures i hear about would bother me... so can anyone help please?

EDIT: also really considering this one
Samsung HL61A750 61-Inch 1080p LED Powered DLP HDTV

costs a little more but more financing options it seems on Amazon

and i see the extended warantes dont cover bulb replacments so do you all see them as being worth it?

Bigger is ALWAYS better. IMO,...DLP's are very good. I think the picture is brighter,...and more lively than LCD,...and a lot smoother than Plasma.

Go with the LED dlp if you are going to go with the dlp technlolgy.

It eliminated the need for a lamp replacement. It also eliminated the color wheel.

So that would be the way to go for dlp
Unless you understand that if you dont that you will have to replace a lamp at some point in time. If you dont have a warranty those can be in the range of 200 bucks.

My extended warranty on my dlp covers lamps. I thought most of them still did?

Per Consumer Report's latest review of warranties for TVs, they recommend it for RPTVs, as they have a ~18% defect rate (as long as the warranty doesn't cost more than 15% of the price of the set).

Huh? Not sure what that statement means. Plasma is currently the highest rated, most natural picture available. With nearly instantaneous response times, plasmas offer a smoother picture than all but CRT.

I have this tv and I like it alot. The bulb replacement is only $100 from Mitsubishi but I see so many post about the older DLP bulbs which did cost between $200 and $250.

I currently own the Mitsubishi WD-60735 . The picture is stunning. I also own 3 LCD HDTV's. The DLP is much better. The darks are much better. I shopped for plasmas and LCD's as my main TV but the plasmas seem to have the worst picture quality. The LCD is good but the size I would want would be too costly. Also my Mitsubishi WD-60735 is 3D Ready!

Everyone see's things differently. To me,...DLP has the best picture for the money. It is as "natural" as Plasma,.....and to me, Plasma looks grainy. Of course,......in all cases,...it depends on how well the set is adjusted. That can be a trick in itself.

Response time ? No human eye is going to notice the difference in response time between these 2 technology's,....we are talking "ms",.....not the load time of dial-up versus DSL. 99% of people won't be able to tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p,...let alone response time. I also tend to keep TV's a long time,....and use them a lot. Plasma,...when it starts to fade, you have to buy new,...DLP,....replace the lamp,.....the color wheel if it goes,.....and you have a virtually new TV picture. For a lot LESS than Plasma.

I got mine on black Friday weekend for $900 Best bang for the buck TV IMO. I wouldn't trade it for anything a lot better than the POS Samsung i have in the other room that i paid $1,900 for. Every time i go into a Best Buy, Circuit City, hhgregg and i see a f#cked up TV it's always a Samsung. I will never ever give that company another dime.
