TV/Home Theater People- Good Deal?

Best Buy Link

Mitsubishi WD-62527 62" LCD Projection TV.

Open-Box. It looks like it is in good shape and the bulb was just replaced.

$2400

Good deal? There "normal" price is $3500...

Is the $400, 4-year insurance, worth it?

I'd go for the warranty. Glad I did on mine.


I'd probably take some of that savings you'd get and have it calibrated by an ISF tech.

That's what I was kind of thinking. I see it can be had for ~ $3000 before shipping...

I can get this + the warranty + a stand for $2850. Or skip the warranty and get the TV and stand for $2450.

Do it...do it before someone else snatches this one...and get the warranty...

Yeah, I thought about it a little more, and while it's a good deal...I still think it would be better to find something a little less money...

Costco has been including stands with their TVs...I may check that out.

Does that mean it was a floor model?

 

[spacejamz]

did they tell you (or can you find out) why the bulb was replaced???

 

[Kelvrick]

Floor model, someone returned it, or box just got opened?

I never get floor models because I don't know what kinda people have been touching/rubbing/sexing it.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Do it! Why are you even here?!? Go get it NOW before I do!! GO! AHHHH

Best Buy != good deal

 

[PurdueRy]

I would say its an OK deal, but nothing amazing

my uncle bought a open box Mitsubishi from Brandsmart awhile back and when he came back with his truck they sold it to someone else so he got a new one for the same price

They replaced the buld because the previous bulb in it burnt out; probably from being on for 24 hours a day or whatever.

That being said...anyone been to Costco lately??? Any decent deals?
