    Ive had it a 2 months now. I just got my FREE rebate copy of Avatar 3D in the mail for my Toshiba 3D DVD player and it looked AWESOME on the TV. I also have Resident Evil Afterlife 3D and 4 sets of shutter glasses.
    My buddy just got the same thing ! A mistu 65 inch and a free Avatar 3D. I never understood why someone would go DLP over LED-LCD. I know there are size limitations but LED-LCDs look so nice.

    Look at them side by side and then add $3000+ for LED for comparable size. Considering the technology will only get better it makes sense to not overspend for comparable technology when one cost so much more than the other and the real life experience/picture is minimal at best. I not only reviewed online, AV forums I went to many stores where I could see them side by side. I also got a 5yr extended warranty that covers everything for next to nothing, $150 and I did my research on it before buying so I know there is a lot less chance of getting burned than with others. One of the worst warranty companies is the Geek squad. 1000s of unresolved complaints.

    Anyway, for the money I love it and it's only about 4" thicker than a LCD. BTW, I also have a 32" LED-LCD, 42" plasma and 110" projection. The Plasma warms up my whole room in about 20 minutes.
    Another side note, on the LED-LCD and Plasma they are expensive to repair any part of it. On the DLP 90% of the time you only have to replace the lamp every 3 years and it runs $75 - $95 It also takes 5 minutes to replace the lamp.

    Buddy has
    65inch DLP 3D TV $7-800.00
    3D box (extra) $2-300.00
    He gets 2 glasses included but how about when you have company over ? I'm thinking you will need at least two more pares another - $200.00.
    Total 1300.00

    My parents:
    55 inch Vizio 240Hz LED-LCD $1500.00
    Nothing else needed
    Total 1,500.00

    Parents TV still blows the DLP picture out the water. They also have the ability to mount this TV on the wall if they choose to do so.

    If you ask me this 3D is just a fad. It's nice to watch a movie here and there but to watch live TV all in 3D ? Never going to happen.
