Mitsubishi 57" DLP TV - FREE
« on: January 18, 2017, 03:35:50 PM »
Model WD-y57.Bought new in '06. Like others who upgrade their TV I'd like to just be rid of this TV.

If I recall the bulb was replaced about 2 years ago, we averaged about 3yrs/bulb. Bulbs range $25-300 (generic to NOS originals).

There are a couple light scratches on the screen in the upper right corner, which to this day I have no idea how they happened, I think "I don't know" did it. Noticeable when it's off, hard to find when the TV is on.

2 HDMI inputs along with S video, competent, composite, DVI.

It's big but only weighs 55 lbs or so. I can deliver...if I do deliver it, I'm NOT taking it back home!!!

I'll post pics if someone is interested.

I don't know much about DLP.   Is it a glass screen or a soft plastic one?   Is it wall mountable?   Thanks!

DLP uses a color wheel to project the image onto the screen. It's a satin-y low gloss screen. The whole tv is about 16" deep, then allow for connections. I'd think on a properly hung shelf that is deep enough it could be wall hung, but not like the flat panels.

I am not familiar with this model , but know some DLP TVs display a great picture.  They were the hot technology just before the Plasma and LCD flat panels arrived.  Sexy then, compared to the bulky rear projectors of the day.

You have it priced right cause that is exactly what I got for my 2000 vintage 65" hi-def Mitsubishi rear projection. :-)

We had a 3rd car in our garage and had a freak flash flood. Car was totaled. We used the check to buy the tv. At the time we wanted a 42" and when we saw this one on sale for the price of a Sony 42" that didn't look as good we bought it. I don't recall a whole lot about the technology back then, it was either DLP or plasma. It's been an adventure, one bulb blew during the Pens 09 Cup run. Another a week before the last Steelers Super Bowl.

You still looking for a tv?

I see them for sale here and there and just shake my head.

I bought a 40" Plasma for $100 off Craigslist, but if I found a 48-56" Plasma for a reasonable price I sure wouldn't mind moving up a size or two.

I had that same TV. I bought it at Circuit city before they went belly up. IT had a nice picture when it got a surge from lightning it cost me 500 to get it fixed since circuit city was down the tubes by then. It acted up 2 more times with ventilation issues which I fixed myself . The 3rd time it left the house in pieces.

We got it a Circuit City as well. I vaguely remember having Mitsubishi repair something related to heat build up which blew the original bulb. That was under warranty a couple months after we got it. The bulbs were definitely frustrating and the tv threw off a ton of heat out of the left side.
