55" Mitsubishi Platinum (Integrated)

[Brigadeer]

Hello all. I need some advice from some of the HD experts out there. I live in the D/FW area, and my local Home Theatre Store is having a product inventory sale. They are selling a 55" Mistubishi Platinum set (integrated) for $2199. They state that the full retail is normally above $3000. This is last years model, not the newer ones that are now coming out that look a little silver as opposed to the black ones.

Anyways, can the experts in the house answer two questions for me. First, is the price quoted ($2199) a good deal for this specific model and brand? Second, is the is model and brand (Mitsubishi Platinum 55" Integrated) a quality set?

Thanks to all who reply with their infinite HD wisdom.

1. Most people would agree that the Mits Plat is a good set.

2. Someone else will have to comment on the pricing.

3. Please do not cross-post (3 posts are not necessary - all the "experts" see all the new posts.

Wow you are on the ball. Not wanting to ruffle anyone's feathers, I am only going to have access to the computer here for awhile longer and just wanted to get it out there and hopefully get a quick response or two back. Thanks for the input so far.

The price of $2199.99 for an Interated Platimum set is excellent! Just to give you an idea, at BB where I work the price on "our" version of the Platinum Integrated set is $2499.99 and that is a clearance price. Our WS-55313 (Silver series 2004) regularly sells for $2199.99 so you can see how great a deal you are getting. You are stepping up to a Platinum series set and it's integrated. Go for it!

I am the proud owner of a Mits Platinum series (as my tagline shows below). I paid $2800 for it at the beginning of this year so to get it for $2200 now seems to be quite a deal.
