"Dell 2200MP DLP Projector (search for 2200MP) for only $500 after $399 online coupon code"

I guess I can't post the coupon code. I can only say to go to gottadeal.com.

I have affiliation with that site. I just saw the deal over there.

How would this be for tv and movies? I don't have any sunlight that enters the room, but wouldn't mind having some of my lights on.

Judging by the specs it looks alright, but I'd look at reviews first though.

Great price though :)

Anyone have any luck on this deal? Dell (both Home and Business side) say the projector is not carried by Dell at all anymore. It shows nothing on the website either.

What's up with that?

Projectors, even high-power movie theater projectors, are designed to be used in the dark. Any ambient light will wash out the picture. Whether this bothers you or not is up to your personality. Just don't make the mistake of thinking this is a TV replacement. Just remember the projector light bouncing off the screen makes the room fairly light, enough to talk with people and stuff. So it isn't like you are sitting in a pitch black room.

Also remember the bulbs are only rated for a specified number of hours. When they go out, they are VERY expensive (believe me, I know!). Just like SimMike2 said, this is not a TV replacement, I only use mine for special occasions.

Very much an issue of personal preference, but many find it MUCH nicer than direct view TV. Not something to buy without educating yourself first.

So I guess no one else has noticed THAT THIS DEAL DOESN'T SEEM TO EXIST.

No foul to you jalaram, I thank you for the lead. It seems as though gottadeal posted a dead deal, or this is over with.

Oh, and bulbs can be had for around $250 for this unit.

TV would work on this, but you wouldn't want it for every day TV viewing. Maybe just for games and such on TV.

You're correct. The deal is dead because the coupon had limited usage (99 uses, I believe).

I apologize for not specifying that.
