I received this ad this morning from Tiger Direct which is offering what appears to be a good deal on a HDTV. The ad is for a Mitsubishi 60″ DLP HDTV, with an instant discount of $200 [no rebate required] and is listed for $1399 with free shipping. The unit itself appears to have all of the bells and whistles.

I went to the Best Buy site but the model was not available. Over at Cirsuit City they are asking $1599 for the exact same set. So the $200 discount does appear to be real.

The spec’s on the set are:

• 3D Ready
  All Mitsubishi Diamond 1080p DLP HDTV’s are “3D Ready”. This feature allows you the ability to be immersed in your favorite video game, movie or sporting event. As more content becomes available in 3D, this functionality will develop into one of the most exciting HDTV experiences.
• Easy Connect
  Connectivity made easy! Mitsubishi’s ClearThought® Easy Connect simplifies set-up and day-to-day use. During set up, it recognizes each input as it is plugged in, prompts the user to name it, enters it into the Device Menu and only shows used inputs.
• Front USB Input (5MP Photo)
  View 5 Mega Pixel Photos on your Mitsubishi TV in startling HD clarity. Easily connect a USB thumb drive or USB Card Reader.
• 3 Rear HDMI™ 1.3 Inputs
  HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI™ provides an interface between an audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an A/V monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable. HDMI™ supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats.
• Front Component Video Input
  Front component input for easy connection of HD sources such as video games and video cameras.
• 2 Rear Component Video Inputs
  Inputs have 480i, 480p and 1080i capability.

So the big questions is, deal or no deal?
