I can't believe how low prices have gotten for used Mitsubishi 1080p DLP RPTVs. Maybe I just lucked out, but I acquired three of them this week, for the prices of $250, $80, and FREE.
The $250 and FREE ones were non-3D 65" displays, both working with no issues. The $80 one needs a new DLP chip (which costs about $175), but it was a 73" Diamond series and can take a 3D adapter for HDMI 1.4 / 3D Blu-ray playback.
Now I know with 4K and thin LCDs, these things are not as fashionable as they were 5-10 years ago, but they're selling for about 5-10% of their new price. But they really don't take up more space than an LCD if sitting on top of a TV stand (true, they aren't wall-mountable). I'm surprised people who want HT on a budget haven't caught on to these things!
