mitsubishi 73735 advice

[aaronrand]

they had this tv onsale at ultimate electronics for $1995, and the 4 year warrentee for $449 covering all parts, tubes, etc.
picture looks great but i couldnt find any reviews on it.
any thoughts, advise on this model please?
seems cheap for a 73" tv, but i cant find out why...

My brother has one and loves it. He's had it about 6 months with zero problems.

ok great. i just wonder when i see something that is so cheaply priced, compared to smaller tv's.
its cool though, it makes my 61" look like an ipod screen

Look around in Rear Projection Units - AVS Forum I know there was one there when I purchased mine last July. So far no problems with it, didn't pay for an extended warrenty, just used a Visa card that doubled the manufactures for no cost.

ok rad, i was going to take advantage of their 2 year zero interest mitsubishi card though, and just pay 24 payments, so its paid off when interest hits. kind of like free money.
i have had bad luck with my last mitsubishi 65615, its badly burned in, so i was thinking the warrentee is generally a ripoff, but i wish i had it on that one

I wouldn't knock extended warranties (from the right company). Mine paid for itself when I had to replace the entire light unit last fall on my 65831. Looks like a million bucks again.

I wouldn't knock extended warranties

Not knocking them, for some purchases I've bought them. Just mentioning the Visa/MasterCard free doubling since lots of times folks forget about that as being a feature of some of those cards.

My repair still fell out of the doubling time period. It's better safe than sorry with a high end item that you plan on using for years (More than two). Now for my Amps which carry 10 year warranties, it's no big deal.

good advice on the warrentee thanks..
anyone have this tv or know about it?

 

[teachsac]

I actually deal with this set and the 736 a lot. They are very good sets. For the price to size ratio, DLP's are hard to beat.

There's an owners thread over at AVS.
