   I just bought the 92″ from Aarons. It was right around the same price as it is on Amazon, just a few hundred more. They carried the TV into my house and set it up for me. Be warned: The TV is extremely heavy. It took 4 men to carry it off of their truck and into my house. It’s easy to set up and the remote is really easy to figure out. Another warning: you need to sit at least ten feet away from the television so that the picture isn’t blurry. It also needs to be on a stand because it doesn’t have a wall mount. Another warning: it needs to lean against the wall because it’s kind of tippy if it’s not well supported. However, I left my dog alone with it in the bedroom for a few hours while I ran to the store. He loves to climb on things and jump up on them whenever possible. The TV was still standing just fine. If you go to the Aarons website and type in “TV Console”, click on ’72″ TV Console’. That’s the one that we got with our television. I’m not sure exactly how much it costs and I can’t find it on Amazon. It hangs over a little bit on each side by about 6 inches. With this stand, it’s approximately six feet tall. My wife is 5′ 2″ and when she stretches her arm up flatfoot, she barely reaches the top of it. Without the stand, it’s about four and half feet tall. It’s also pretty wide; about 8 feet. The television is a little over two feet wide, so when you’re planning out the space of ten feet, make sure you take that into consideration. It is a lot of money for a television and I wouldn’t recommend buying it if you need to move anytime soon. Before you choose to buy a television that large, make sure that there’s plenty of room to put it.

   ONE MORE THING I RECENTLY FOUND OUT!!! Make sure you view the Mitsubishi website. On there, they have a list of authorized dealers. Amazon is an authorized dealer, however some of their resellers are not. On the website it states:

   “DON’T BE FOOLED! While Amazon is an authorized online retailer of Mitsubishi products, many resellers who sell on the Amazon marketplace are not. When purchasing, it is important to note where the product is being “shipped from and sold by,” which is stated clearly in the header for each product on Amazon.com.”

   Why does this matter? If you’re not using an authorized dealer, there isn’t a warranty with it. It’s better to pay a few hundred more to have your TV under warranty. To find out if the place you’re looking at buying your TV is authorized to sell it to you, type “Mitsubishi TV” into Google. The website will be “mitsubishi-tv dot com” You’ll want to make sure the little hyphen is there. Click on the website. On the left hand side, navigate to “Retail Locator”. When you click on that, you can either type in your zip code or click the gray box that says “See Online Retailers” on the right hand side. If you scroll down on the page that comes up for online retailers, they also show common unauthorized dealers, including ones from Amazon and eBay.

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-82742 82-Inch 3D DLP Home Cinema HDTV (Electronics)

   After months of contemplating which LED TV made by my fellow Koreans I should purchase, I came across this gem one day. “DLP? LOL!” I thought. Little did I know that DLP technology improved drastically over the past decade.

   First off, this T.V. is gorgeous. The picture, once calibrated (make sure you go google some settings because out the box the picture is mediocre). At first I was a little disappointed, but after proper configuration, the T.V. looks as good as the Samsung LED we have in our other living room.

   Gaming wise, I popped in a bunch of xbox 360 games, and oh boy, the picture was great. No blur whatsoever. Don’t be fooled by 120hz vs 240hz that LED’s advertise. You won’t even be able to tell. Not in the slightest. 60 to 120 there is a noticeable difference in gaming, but 120+ you really can’t tell. Game consoles that output that many frames per second anyways.

   Halo 4 looks particularly amazing on this TV. When the master chief’s arms and guns are life-size, you feel pretty awesome.

   Speakers are ok. Loud, but don’t seem to balance sound very well. For example, in most games, voices seem not-quite-loud-enough while everything else (bullets, etc) sound very loud. Maybe I can adjust this.

   If you don’t want to spend like $5000 on a 82 inch LED tv, this is the best bang for your buck. From the front, not one of my friends or neighbors were able to notice that this TV was not LED. Even from a diagonal angle, the TV is cleverly designed so that you can’t see the back popping out at all. Everyone thinks the TV is a thin LED~

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-73742 73-Inch 3D DLP Home Cinema HDTV (Electronics)

   I upgraded from my old Philips 37 inches basic TV. The upgrade forme is huge. The size of 73 inches is just right for my living room. The picture quality is excellent. Even in bright daylight, I did not have any problems even with tons of windows in my living room. 3D is amazing – but the tv does not come with glasses.

   THe sound system is effective but for a fully immersive experience, I would suggest adding a surround sound system.

   TV does take a bit of time to start up (7-10 sec), but not a deal breaker. Another irritating thing is it takes time to change channels (using my comcast box), if the channels are in different HD format eg. 1080 vs 780. (in the process the screen remains black).

   TV is smart enough to remember your devices. Once a device is plugged in (say PS3), it will automatically switch to that input. Has other features of a regular TV (sleep, child lock, video adjustments, audio adjustments etc)

   The TV is big in size, and as others have mentioned, seems structurally weak. But I think the TV is strong enough for its size and purpose. Mine arrived from Arizona to PA without any problem.

   Comes with a good remote with big buttons – No problems there.

   For the price being offered here for this model, I think it is a definite buy. Heck, this is cheaper than most of the regular TVs being offered in the market right now. Do factor in the cost of getting 3D glasses (another 100-150 bucks) if you want 3D.

   Update: Mitsubishi has decided to stop manufacturing these TVs, so these will be the last iteration of DLP tvs from Mitsubishi. They have still promised to continue customer support for the currently sold TVs.
