Mitsubishi WD-52525 52 in. HDTV DLP TV

I bought the Mitsubishi WD-52525 52 in. DLP HDTV back in April 2005 and spent around $3,000 including the TV stand.  I bought the Mitsubishi TV because I had previously owned a Mitsubishi analog 4:3 big screen TV that worked great.  Thinking that Mitsubishi was the specialist in projection big screen TVs, I decided to buy the Mitsubshi DLP TV.  In retrospect, it was one of the biggest mistakes I've made regarding a big purchase.  In 3-1/2 years of owning it, I've only used it maybe 15 to 20 hours per week at most.  In August 2008, it started acting up.  The power supply went out and I spent $400 just to repair it.  Just a week ago in late October 2008, the TV froze and wouldn't change channels.  The freezing of the channels and volume control  started to occur more and more often, so I decided to recycle the power.  After that, I tried turning it back on, but the timer light just keeps flashing, indicating that the TV was initializing.  I recycled the power multiple times and even left it unplugged for a few days to try to reset it to no avail.  I also pushed the reset button several times without success.  As a result,  I called the same repairman again and he said that Mitsubishi was starting to see this anomalous behavior in their DLP TVs.  He said that it had to do with some flaw in the computer microcircuitry and that it would cost $900 to repair and replace the part.  The TV is not even worth $900 now.  As a result, I will be donating the TV to any charity that will take it.  I highly suggest anyone who is considering buying a HDTV to avoid DLP at all costs.  Go with LCD or Plasma.

The cons dramatically outweigh the pros for this product:
- Very slow to turn on and off
- Very slow response time in changing channels and volume
- It freezes for no reason when changing channels and volume
- It's very expensive to repair
- Flawed circuitry design
- Horrible product, avoid at all cost
