I have a Mitsubishi 73" DLP (yeah the kind with bulbs). It's been working amazing since I got it in 2010. Now all of a sudden when I hit the power button to turn it on, it clicks then shuts right off immediately. I'm guessing that's not the bulb. Looking online, it seems I'm screwed. Anyone seen that before? I'm no EE so I'm not comfortable checking caps.

I got a 73" DLP from Amazon. It's a huge fucker, and basically it was a special delivery service and two jacked dudes brought it into my house.

I'd just go to Best Buy and see if you can find the same TV so you can see what model it is. Sounds like a Samsung.

The biggest problem with a lot of the SmartTV apps is that they are rarely if ever updated. So if the Netflix app is poo poo, or Netflix changes something, the app might be stuck like that.

You can get HDMI wall plates on Monoprice for cheap as poo poo, then run your own HDMI cables which are also cheap as poo poo on Monoprice. You can even get HDMI to Ethernet adapters and run Ethernet instead of HDMI.

I'm trying to decide on a size between 42"-50" to replace my 32" Panasonic and I'd like to get one with better or equivalent picture quality.

I play games on a TV with an input lag of twice that much and absolutely don't notice a difference, and goons seem to love the TV, but OK good luck.

I typically just google the model and calibration settings. Typically someone has already figured out what looks best for them, and that's enough for me.

Don't discount the inexpensive mounts from Monoprice either - at work, we've purchased a half dozen from here and they work great: http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&gclid=CMDvseL8mb4CFWNgMgodpC0AXw

You may want to try e-bates too. I know if I go there, then buy something from Target's website I get 2.5% back. Which is how I'm probably going to buy the $699 Vizio I've been eying. Free shipping too.

mune posted:They have it at my local Costco. The last thing I need to make sure is that it's a good TV for playing games on because I can't seem to get a straight answer re: input lag. From everything I've read, it's pretty good as long as you change the mode to GAME on the HDMI port where you are gaming on. Goes from 300ms to around 25ms.

Yeah, I expect that's the case. I've been using a 73" DLP for the last few years and hope to be blown away by the new one. The person buying my condo asked for my DLP to be thrown in. Yay don't have to move the beast!

I am in a similar position: wanting a new TV primarily for playing PS4 and watching sports and movies and was looking at the 55'' version of this Vizio: http://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-M552i-B...#productDetails I got the 60" ver of this TV and it's been pretty sweet so far. There are calibration settings on the net you'd want to do on every god drat input, but it looks pretty great. I've been mainly watching Dish and playing Steam. No problems.

Check Monoprice and read the reviews. People are pretty good about saying if something is poo poo. I've mounted a dozen TV's and just make sure you mount them to studs. Don't trust hollow wall fasteners.
