Mitsubishi Diamond Series WD-65835 65-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV (Glossy Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just purchased this TV to replace a 56" first generation, HD-ready rear projection TV from Toshiba. It took some convincing to get my better half to agree to replace a working TV - especially since it was already a 1080i set - but now that we have the new set she's as blown away by the picture as I am.
Right out of the box, the picture is stunning. After it's properly set up, it's darned near reference quality.
The set has ample controls that allow you to calibrate the set well beyond the standard controls available on most sets. (I use Digital Video Essentials on Blu-ray to make adjustments... Highly recommended.) The set has inky blacks; vibrant, natural colors; and a razor sharp picture. It makes me want to re-watch all of my Blu-ray disks. Be aware though that when it comes to SDTV, bigger is definitely not better. That's not a knock against this set as SD looks lousy on all big screens. If you're just getting into big screen TVs, make sure you have high-definition sources. Otherwise, you might well be disappointed.
I also appreciate that the set has discrete IR codes for each of the inputs. It's makes the set easy to control with my Logitech Harmony universal remote. I can't comment on the sound though as I run all my audio through a high-end receiver but given the overall quality of the set, I'm surprised that other reviewers have given such low marks.
I did quite a bit of research before buying the set and all of the professional reviews rated the set highly. I'm happy to say that my personal experience has been equally as positive. My only gripe - and it's a minor one - is that the set doesn't support picture-in-picture or picture-outside-picture. Again, I hadn't used that feature on my old set for just about 8 years so that wasn't a deal breaker for me though.
All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend this set to anyone. Especially if you're looking for a big screen but can't afford the high price of a comparably sized plasma or LCD.

Mitsubishi WD-73737 73-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When it comes to TVs in the living room, bigger is always better so, when time came to replace our 61" Samsung DLP I had no idea what my next TV was going to be, other than it was going to be bigger and that, of course, I was going to afford it. Mitsubishi's WD-73737 was the easy winner and this is why:
- SIZE - well, 73" is bigger than 61", right? As far as I know, there aren't too many LCD or plasma TVs this big, at least not anything that I can afford. Our living room is rather large - it's really most of our first floor (open style architecture) so it helps to have a big screen. Mitsubishi makes an 82" model but I had also to consider...
- PRICE - we have a clear winner here. When it comes to price/size ratio, DLP's are by far the least expensive option.
- ENERGY EFFICIENCY - according to my research, the WD-73737 burns about 265W when 'on' (this includes the 180W lamp). By comparison, a 70" LCD needs 540-630W to operate.
- 3D CAPABILITY - it's a potential plus. Mitsubishi does not guarantee that its TV will be compliant with whatever 3D standard is about to emerge but... it might.
Of course, not everything is perfect so, here are the potential 'minuses':
- LAMP - when it comes to 'cost of ownership', we must factor in the DLP's lamp. The Mitsubishi manual expects its lamp to last for about one year but our Samsung was still okay after 2 years with the original lamp so, we shall see. A replacement for this model, direct from Mitsubishi is $99 and I will get a free one under warranty if the original needs replacement before one year. Given the great energy savings when compared to an LCD TV, I am not too worried about having to replace the lamp from time to time.
- BULK - this set is over 90 lbs. heavy and over 12" at its thickest. Definitely, can't hang it on a wall. Therefore...
- STAND - you must have one. We are using the one that came with the old 61" and all is fine but if you don't have one it should set you back a few more hundred bucks.
- THE SCREEN - nothing wrong with it but, when compared with our old Samsung, this is just a little more reflective. It's not so to the point of being annoying at night if lights are on in the room but sometimes it is noticeable.
Since we already had a stand, didn't want to hang a 73" TV on the wall and the need to replace the lamp was compensated by its energy savings, we went for the WD-73737 without hesitation and we are happy we did.OUR SETUP
A TV this size would normally be used in a home theater setting and, it turns out, that's how we use it. We have a satellite TV box, a PS3, dedicated Blu-ray player a 7.1 surround receiver and a Harmony 900 remote. The TV comes with LOTS of inputs, including 3 HDMI but, in our case, the setup started with plugging the TV into the power outlet, connecting the HDMI cable into one of TV's HDMI ports and, since I had the Harmony 900 already configured to handle the TV, that was IT, we were watching TV within 5 minutes of it coming out of the box.
Later own, we did some fine tuning but, it turns out, very little had to be adjusted. We made sure that the frame rate was set to 120 fps and, for the rest, we took the recommended settings from the Tweak TV site and didn't have to change too much from what they recommended. We ended up with:
Picture Mode: Natural
Color Temperature: Low
Aspect Ratio: Standard
Contrast: 55
Brightness: 36
Color: 31
Tint: 31
Sharpness: 31
Deep Field Imager: Off
Super Resolution: Off
Sharp Edge: Off
Video Noise: Off
The end-result is as close to picture-prefect as they come.
I have nothing to say about the sound - it can simulate 'surround' with its own speakers - because we are not using it. Same when it comes to channel tuning or setting up 'activities'. These are fully handled by the satellite receiver and the Harmony remote but all the capabilities are there. Same when it comes to the remote which is quite small - a nice thing - but it may take some getting used to when it comes to the buttons size (small) and their layout.WARRANTY
On an object this size, this is an important concern so, here's what matters:
- The screen is only covered for 30 (THIRTY) days.
- The picture quality warranty states that Mitsubishi will fix it if you get less than 99.99% of the pixels right. In other words, you should have at least 9,999 out of 10,000 pixels right. On a 2-million pixel screen this means that if you have up to 199 bad pixels, Mitsubishi is not obligated to fix your TV.
- Everything else is covered for one year.
- The lamp will be replaced free of charge if it needs replacement within the first year.
- Service is provided 'in house' IF you are within the coverage of an authorized Mitsubishi center. If you're not, you will be responsible for taking your TV there so you better check you are inside a Mitsubishi service area.
__________________________________
[Note on warranty - Nov. 12, 2010]
I had to call Mitsubishi because the lamp had to be replaced. Within minutes, I was on the phone with a competent person who, after asking that I reset the TV and me confirming that the picture was still dim agreed to send me a replacement lamp under the warranty. I provided the TV's serial number and date of purchase, my address and my phone number. He promised that the replacement lamp will be shipped within 2-5 business days.
A few days later, the lamp arrived. I called Mitsubishi's warranty dept. about me returning the used lamp but they asked me not to bother. I trust and respect a company that trusts and respects its customers.
__________________________________MY RATING
This TV delivers exactly what I wanted and expected: a large, bright, crisp picture that, thanks to the 120 fps display has very little blur on fast moving objects. The drawbacks: need to replace the lamp, unorthodox layout on the remote, bulk are either counterbalanced by other features or did not matter much in my case. Not everyone could live with a TV that's not totally flat or that needs a stand but if the main concerns are picture quality, price, size and energy consumption, this TV is hard to beat.
I will grant the WD-73737 5 stars because I own it and I am very happy with it.

Mitsubishi WD-82737 82-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Absolutely a five-star product in every way, backed by one-star customer service (5 + 1 = 6 divided by 2 = 3, hence the 3-star overall rating).
First the good news: My entry into the world of bigscreen hi-def was a JVC 61" 720p resolution LCOS about four years ago. I liked the color saturation and balance of LCOS better than the early DLPs, but obviously DLP won this fight.
The overall improvement moving to the Mitsubishi 82-inch 1080p DLP is as great as when I moved to the JVC (which still looks pretty darn good) from the 60" Mitsubishi 4:3 standard def it replaced. There really is that much difference. Whether it's a 1080i (HDTV broadcast) or 1080p (Blu Ray) signal, the picture is real-life accurate, and huge!
Most people don't realize the 82" Mits model this replaces debuted on the market at $25,000 (I'm an early adopter, but not THAT MUCH of an early adopter), so the be-the-first-on-your-block prices this new model is selling for are relatively reasonable by comparison. I paid $3600 with tax, dropped on my curb, about $1,000 less than the JVC four years ago. If you're patient, it'll probably be in the $3,000 range by Christmas and $2,000-$2,500 when the competition heats up. For now, Mits has the 7' screen HD internal projection market to itself.
I found the up-converting DVD approach satisfactory while the format battle was still running, but now that it's over, I decided to upgrade to Blu Ray at the same time. BluRay "Blackhawk Down" on the Mitsubishi with the upgraded sound capability on the surround sound processor? Two words: INTENSE!!!! and WOW!!!!!!
My son and I watched "The Bank Job" on HBO HD the other night and I was completely blown away again. About two-thirds of the way through, I realized my pulse was pounding even though I've seen the movie a few times and know what's going to happen next. My viewing distance is between 9 and 10 feet, and this puppy fills almost 100 degrees of my vision.
Summary: The TV itself absolutely rocks, is absolutely worth every penny, and is not only the biggest, but the best internal projection HD picture I've ever seen (and I look around a lot). I don't know HOW they do it and I don't really care. Five stars for the Mitsubishi geeks who figured out how create a real-life quality picture on a 7' screen.
PS -- I researched before I bought, and a few reviewers have whined about the different control protocol and menus Mitsubishi introduced with this product line. They're definitely different, and I agree that Mits seems to have solved a non-existent problem, but it's still very intuitive and easy to figure out, and a total no-brainer once you get used to it. I totally agree with the comments on the crappy remote control they ship out with this model. What's up with that? I buy a $[...] TV, and Mitsubishi supplies a remote that looks like I could buy it for $4.95 off the impulse rack in the grocery store checkout line, that doesn't even have backlit keys? The toggle ring around the "ENTER" key isn't contiguous or round, it's a four-section rounded square. I've got fingers the size of Hygrade Ballpark franks, but even someone with normal-sized fingers would have a hell of a time not pushing two buttons at once on this tiny controller. Hello?
[...]
The truck driver who delivered the TV stood by while my son and I de-boxed it. There was no shipping damage, everything was fine.
However, the clear polyvinyl chloride protective tape Mits wrapped around the frame and the edge of the display screen for shipping left a residue on the screen when I removed it and to a lesser degree, took flakes of black paint off the frame. The owners manual says not to use anything stronger than non-abrasive soap and warm water, which took off most but not all of the residue the PVC tape left behind.
There was a minor item I first called about which turned out to be related to the control protocol (and my not having read the owners manual before starting).
[...]
Final note: If you're OCD about this stuff like I am, if your surround processor is HDMI-equipped and you can use it as a video switcher (like most of the new ones), you'll want to check its video and HDMI protocol to be sure they're current with the latest technology. I had a great Yamaha system that was three years old, and wasn't, so I "had" to upgrade the sound system at the same time.

Mitsubishi Diamond Series WD-73838 73-Inch 1080p 3D DLP HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I worked as a quality tester for the doomed Cablevision VOOM HD project in the early days of HDTV. Plus I've owned three other HDTVs (2 DLP and 1 LCD) since then, so i have a base to compare - not my first experience with Hi-Def TV.
This Mitsubishi WD-73838 is a monster compared to my old 50 inch Samsung (see pic). The overall picture on this set is excellent, but i would not say that the picture quality is THAT much better than my 3-year old Samsung HL-T5076S (also 3D capable). Back then, it was a very good set for picture quality and even today it can still hang with the best of them. I paid ~$1300 for the Samsung three years ago and ~$1700 before tax/delivery for the 73" Mitsu just last week @ Electronics Expo. The price was great!! And definitely worth it just for the sheer size of the screen - a very good upgrade.
The sound on this unit is pretty good, with all those speakers... but lets face it - if you are buying a huge home theater TV, you probably already own a good 7.1 AVR that supports all the surround sound HD formats. And if you dont - you should.
3D quality (updated below): For now, my experience on this TV with 3D content is limited to Motorsport 3D game for the PS3. But even in 720p and scaled down for 3D it looks excellent. Looking forward to seeing some of the 3D BD movies soon in higher 1080p.
For 3D you WILL need the 3DA1 adapter for any 3D source that doesn't support checkerboard or side by side formats (see update #2 below!). Also, know that x102 DLP Link glasses are cheaper and will work well, but there is a known issue with them - they seem to lose the link to the TV if you are too far or the bulb is not bright enough. At 10 feet they start to flicker on and off, at 12 feet it's very hard to maintain the link. They also have a proprietary battery and rape you on shipping charges, so that may be an issue for some folks.
Read up on HDTV and 3D before you buy!!! know all the options, formats and downsides!!! avsforums . com is an excellent source of info on the subject.
As far as what other users report about 30-60 sec boot up times.... I guess it's true if the TV power is controlled by the cable box or if you turn the TV on for the first time after there was a (brief) power outage. If the TV is plugged into a wall jack (not into the cable box that controls the power supply to the TV set) meaning the TV still gets some power even when it's shut off, then it takes about 10-15 seconds to boot up. Remember this is a projection TV and a sophisticated one at that, just like a computer it takes time to boot up. After i plugged the TV into a wall outlet, in my experience the boot times have been very short.
UPDATE #1 (Nov 2010): Well, after several months of ownership i am even more happy with this TV. Regular picture is still amazing, watching Great Migrations on NatGeo HD is simply incredible. The 3D is very sharp and there is no ghosting. The best glasses i was able to find were the viewsonics and optomas (they seem to be identical) right here on amazon. @ ~85 bucks a pair you can get several pairs for the friends and family. Some of the deepest and amazing 3D picture and effects i've were on IMAX: Deep Sea, Disney's A Christmas Carol and IMAX: Grand Canyon Adventure (even though this one was not pretty boring)
UPDATE #2 (Dec 2010): Make sure you update the TV firmware (available on the Mitsubishi site)! Eliminates the need for the 3D adapter, adds support for all the 1.4a required 3D formats.

Mitsubishi WD-60738 60-Inch 1080p 3D DLP HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this TV for about two weeks now, and so far it's been great. Coming from a 42-inch Toshiba 720p flat-panel LCD TV, we wanted to get something considerably larger and similar sized LCDs or plasmas were simply more than we wanted to pay. Overall, we've been extremely happy with it, but there are definitely a few minor issues and gripes, and one major issue.
Picture Quality:
As far as picture quality goes compared to our old TV, I would say that for 1080p content and gaming (on both PS3 and Xbox 360...haven't tried our Wii yet), this Mitsubishi is better than our LCD was. However, for 1080i content(Comcast HD cable), I feel that our old TV looked better. I think this is in the settings though. I calibrated both TVs using the Digital Video Essentials Blu-Ray...I simply think that I need to go back and try calibrating the cable input again (I'm hoping it's not an issue of the TV processing a 1080i signal poorly). A nice feature of this TV is that each input can have multiple, custom calibrations. One thing to keep in mind though is that you can set multiple, custom settings, but there is only one advanced calibration setting per input...of course most TVs don't even have advanced calibration (without going into professional service menus), so that's not really that big of a deal to me. Our Toshiba had multiple, preset settings with one custom per input, but not advanced settings. HD Cable aside, blu-ray movies and gaming does look amazing though... also, I haven't noticed any instances of ghosting or motion-blur so far. I do think you would have take the time to calibrate the picture, or at the very least change it from the default setting (Brilliant). Both the "Brilliant" and "Bright" presets are simply way too bright to give an accurate color representation...the "Natural" preset is pretty good though. Also, strangely enough, while I feel like this TV's picture quality for 1080i HD cable isn't as good as our old TV (yet), I think it does a better job with SD cable than our old TV did.
Sound Quality:
To be honest, I cannot tell you if the sound is good. On the day that we got it, I tried it to make sure the speakers worked...and then I immediately turned them off after. I have the TV hooked up to a home theater system.
Internet Apps:
I have the TV connected via Ethernet cable. I browsed through the internet apps and it seems to be a pretty cool feature with a lot of apps (a lot more than I was expecting), although its a feature that I probably won't need or use. The only internet app that I would regularly is Netflix, which this TV does not have. For those looking for on-demand movies, Vudu seems like it may be a good alternative to cable...the prices per movie are about the same as on-demand movies through cable (on Comcast anyway) and they may have some movies that on-demand cable does not. That being said though, I think in a market with Netflix streaming and Redbox, I feel that it is a little expensive per movie.
Remote:
The remote seems to have a nice layout, weight, and balance to it, but I honestly haven't used it much. I'm using a Logitech Harmony remote with the TV... which is also one of the big issues with the TV, which I'll address further below.
3D Picture:
Unfortunately, Mitsubishi's promotion where they were giving away free 3D glasses ended about a week before we bought this TV...so for now, I have no way of testing 3D content on this TV, as I am certainly not ready to shell out for the current price of $130-150 per pair of 3D glasses right now. When (if) I get the 3D glasses, I'll update this review with my impressions of it.
Size:
The screen size is obviously pretty big, especially if you are coming from an LCD or a plasma, as the chances are this is bigger than what you have now. By this category, I thought it would be worth mentioning more about the dimensions and weight of the TV. If you're OK putting this on a TV stand, then the dimensions really aren't that big of a deal. The base of the TV isn't as wide as the screen itself, so we actually are using the same stand we had for our 42-inch TV. There's a slight extension of about 2.5 inches on either side, but it's really not that bad. The TV has some depth to it, but it's nothing like the projection TVs of old... it fits nicely on our TV stand for our 42-inch, and is completely stable. Also, the TV is deceptively light. At only 62 pounds, it's actually lighter than many of the similar-sized LCDs and plasmas on the market.
Minor Issues: So far, I've noticed a few minor issues, and one major issue (which is not actually a Mitsubishi issue, and I was able to resolve). The first minor issue is the picture quality on HD cable as I stated earlier under the "Picture Quality" section. This one isn't a big deal yet, as I don't know for sure if it's simply that I calibrated it incorrectly, or if the TV truly does do a poor job with a 1080i signal. Once I have time to calibrate it again, I'll update this review. The second minor issue, is that every so often on the HDMI 1 input, which is my cable box, when the content switches from HD to SD, the screen turns blue, as if I was switching between different inputs altogether. This isn't really that much of an issue...just more of an annoyance as it looks unpolished.
Issues for Logitech Harmony Remote Users: The final two issues both deal with people who use or are planning on using a Logitech Harmony remote with the TV (actually, it probably applies to people who use other universal remotes as well). The first is pretty minor issue. Because this is a DLP, when initially turning it on, there is a slight amount of warm-up time for the bulb. When the TV initially turns on, it stays on a blue screen (where it is unresponsive to remote input) for a few moments before showing the feed for the input it was last on. If you use a universal remote that automatically switches inputs to the activity, then you may have an issue here. For example, on my Harmony One, when I choose "Watch TV", it turns the TV on and sets the input to HDMI 1. When I choose "Watch a Movie", it turns the TV on and sets the input to HDMI 2. The problem is that if the TV was last set to, say, HDMI 1, and I am choosing "Watch a Movie"... the TV turns on, goes to the blue screen, the PS3 turns on, and the TV stays on the blue screen because its still set to HDMI 1. The command to set the TV to HDMI 2 goes out, while the TV is on the initial boot up blue screen and does not register. This can be fixed for Harmony users, as they can set a time delay for outgoing IR commands. For users of other universal remotes with macros though, this may be an unavoidable issue.
Now, for the major issue for Logitech Harmony Users (and universal remote users with macros). At the current time of writing, the TV is in the Harmony database...but the IR commands for HDMI 2 and HDMI 3 are not correct. Additionally, on the Mitsubishi remote, there isn't a direct button to switch to HDMI 2 or HDMI 3, so you can't simply put the Harmony (or other universal remote) in learning mode and learn the IR command. You need to first put the Mitsubishi remote in "Direct Functions Mode" (I'm going to refer to it as DFM after this) and then teach the Harmony or other remote the IR commands.
To put the Mitsubishi remote in DFM, you need to first press and hold the power button until it flashes red twice. Then you need to press 0,0,0,9,0 on the Mitsubishi remote. This puts the remote in DFM. Then you need to put your Harmony or universal remote in learning mode. Remember to name the new commands with something easy to remember (I named mine HDMI2-IR and HDMI3-IR). The button on the Mitsubishi remote that sends the IR command for HDMI 2 is the "Fast Forward" button. The button for HDMI 3 is the "Play" button. After you teach your Harmony the IR commands for HDMI 2 and HDMI 3, then you need to put your Mitsubishi remote back in the regular mode. To do this, hold the power button until it flashes red twice again, then press 0,0,9,3,5. After all of that, you need to go into the Harmony software and custom set the functions to correspond with the newly learned IR commands.
Concluding thoughts:
Sorry for the lengthy review... I simply know how important research can be on a big ticket item such as this. Overall, even with the minor issues (and the resolved major one), this TV is an excellent purchase. It provides great picture quality at an enormous size, without compromising price. Unless you are dead set on wall-mounting your TV, I think this is by far the best TV in this price range. It has a great amount of features such as advanced picture settings, 3D capability, and internet applications...I think it would be very difficult to find a better TV for the price.

DLP 3D shutter glasses and transmitter family 4 pack for your compatible 3D HDTV (computer or converter required for some 3D content) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are the glasses and transmitter that you need for 3D on your set, the only warning that I can give you is that a stand alone 3D blue ray player will not work with your Samsung 3D ready DLP tv... you must have a computer connected by HDMI to your HDMI/DVI port and you need to be using Cyberlink Power DVD 10 if you want to play 3D Blue Ray. There are other players that will let you play 3D DVD's but the Cyberlink software is the only way to get 3D blue ray on your 3D ready DLP. You may ask why won't a 3D blue ray player work? Because they use a newer version of HDMI which you don't have. Also, as I stated before you have to have the computer connected to the only HDMI port that is also a DVI port because, here's the kicker, your set works with this other format, which they abandoned. See the lessons we learn from being the first to purchase a new technology! One other note on these glasses... They work and most of the others will not, here's why: The DLPs work at a much higher sync rate in 3D mode, which is awsome but once again, something they abandoned. Other glasses will not operate at this frame rate (120 hz) and will not work with your system. Please learn from my experience and save yourself the headache and expense of trying to get your DLP to work any other way... You need a computer, Cyberlink Power DVD 10, these glasses with the included transmitter that plugs into you 3D port on your TV. Then WOW!!!

Mitsubishi WD-65638 65-Inch 1080p 3D-Ready DLP HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my 3rd Mitsubishi DLP 3D Set: My First was the WD-52631, Then a C9 60", Just bought the WD-65638 about 2 weeks ago.
As you can tell, I have and yes I will come back to Mitsubishi again. The Value to Size Ratio is the best on the market. Its a good reliable set and have had only one problem with the C9 that they took care of to my satisfaction quickly, and thats about 6 years of Mitsu TV's. This set I will say its not much of a jump in improvements over the C9 I have then before (Execpt 3D mode is improved and cleaned up to match the new standards of 3D). The colors are little more of a Natural look and feel to me then before. At first it was bad getting use to, but I got use to it and like it a little more then my C9, (That had more of a Computer color look, if that makes sense to you). 3D is Sharp with the KIT and enjoy my PS3 for gaming on it. The ability to turn off the DLP Link is a much to my liking and well needed for the Mitsubishi Starter Kit!
Pros/Cons From Other Mitsu DLP Prior Set
PROS:
-You can Finally turn off the DLP LINK (White flash the TV produces on screen to alternate the 3D glasses instead of the inferred system). Making the colors/whites are better and Normal color feel then before while using 3D Mode. And the Blacks don't have a Blue/Purple tint much anymore with the Mitsu 3D Kit!!! 3D Mode in General is much better!
-Colors are more natural then before.
-Profile is a bit smaller and the set is as deep as most Flat LCD Tables. Looks prefect on my stand and tower speakers to the side that are just about the same depth, so no issues on depth.
-Turns on much faster then previous sets, less then 20 seconds. over twice the time less.
CONS
-Remote is horrible. The first year Mitsubishi has had a NON-Universal Remote! Its feels really cheap too (5$ universal remotes are better made). Its Garbage compared to there previous models or any IMO... They might as well have not put one in there. More happy that I have 2 new AA batteries to use elsewhere then the remote itself, but I got a Harmony Remote (and you should get one too) so not anything that does effects me!
-Thou the one and big downfall of this years changes has to be the Menu system... The C9 had such a more technical feel and functions with the Menu (And that kinda the step down model). They use to have a nice Grid System for choosing you input, where you pick the function you were doing. Example: You hit your input button and the grid to pick all the inputs comes up, You can pick your PS3 for Movies or Gaming or Photos, each one will set up the TV to those setting that are stored like game mode or movies at 120Hz and the preset colors you like for both viewing types. I was really hoping they would expand the Grid menu it to include 3D modes or even more of the same, but they took it away for some stupid reason, it was awesome compared and one of the best that was out there for menus... Now it such a BASIC menu and ugly, so now I have to change Color, Settings and Mode when I change from Movies to Games. There is also no advance mode and other things too anymore either!!! (Well that I know of). They dropped the Ball with the menu and the only and a really BIG disappointment. (Thou the On/Off DLP Link and better 3D balances it out). My 37 Vizio cheap set has a way better menu.
-I would have to say all in all the set is great, I do wish the menu was the same or better then before, its sorely missed. But thats for Mitsu to Fix... Its a great value, 3D is awesome and Picture is on par of any Mid Grade Flat LCD (Thou LED will win in picture but not much, especially 3D mode). I bought a 3rd for a reason and so far I see why I wouldn't get a 4th (Thou the return of the Menu will delay my purchase)
If you don't care about 16" width (18" from the wall for air), You will love the set like I do.
-Thou I would note, if you are sure that you will never going to use the 3D mode, but will be using it more for gaming... I would suggest seeing if you can find a C9 Series 65", as the menu and pre-colors is little more suited for gaming. If you are more movies, TV and especially 3D Mode stick with this set for sure!

Mitsubishi Diamond Series WD-65838 65-Inch 1080p 3D DLP HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I researched many TVs before buying this one. I focused on Plasma, LED, and LCD sets. I had settled on a 65inch plasma and went to the store to purchase one. The salesman asked me if I had looked at DLP? I didn't even know they still made DLP sets to be honest. I was very impressed with the picture quality of the Mits DLP TVs.Then.......he showed me a football game in 3D on this set.....it was AWESOME! If you are a sports fan - do yourself a favor and go to a store and watch demo's on these TVs - it is like you are at the event. During all viewing, the black levels and white levels are very good and the color is sharp and infinately adjustable. You would have to spend 2X-3X as much on a top end plasma or LED to rival the picture quality and 3D capability of the Mits 65838.
I ended up choosing the 838 model rather than the 738 due to the additional sound capability of the 838. As I was shopping for the flat panel TVs I noticed the sound was never very good. The room we have the TV in is pretty big and I need good sound. When I bought the TV, Mits was throwing in a free Polk subwoofer with purchase. The sub can be hooked directly to the 838. That subwoofer + the 16 built in speakers produces phenominal sound. I also have a full AV receiver/surround system hooked up, but I did not want to mess with having to power everything up every time I wanted to watch TV - now I don't have to!
The brightness and viewing angles are good on this set. I have the TV on a 19inch stand. No noticable dimming when standing/sitting if you are more than 6 feet away. I would estimate that viewing angles are good to 150-160 degrees without any real noticable dimming.
Lastly, I find the menu system easy to use. The TV was easy to set up and navigate with. The only downsides I have found to this set:
1. 3D capabilities - it is still early and you will have to buy the Mits 3D adapter set to view a lot of the content. They have been promising a firmware update to the 738 and 838 series to take car of this, but nothing yet.
2. There is a noticable delay when switching between HD channels. Folks in the forums have commented on this, regardless of service type (Comcast, DirectTV, etc).
3. The factory default settings for color/brightness/contrast are not great. I found I had to spend some time in the advanced menu getting it dialed in to get the proper contrast/brightness/color. It is not hard to do and the menu is easy to understand, it just takes some time.

Mitsubishi 3DC-1000 3D HDTV Starter Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got the Mitsubishi WD-65C9 65-Inch DLP TV in November and have been waiting for the Mitsubishi 3d kit. I was able to order this kit from RC Willey and it was delivered today! I hooked it up in a matter of minutes (I also have 3d ready Blu-Ray player) and turned it on. The kit comes with a dvd that previews upcoming 3d Blu-Ray releases and I have to tell you, it is pretty amazing. The 3d is really fantastic and I can not believe that I am able to have this in my living room!! I LOVE IT!!!! When we turned it on...all we could say was "Wow" over and over again. I have one blu-ray 3d dvd movie - Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs - I plan on watching it tonight with my kids. I highly recommend the Mitsubishi WD-65C9 TV and the Mitsubishi 3DC-1000 3D HDTV Starter Pack Kit. Can't wait for more releases!!!

Optoma BG-ZD101 DLP Link 3D Glasses with 3 Interchangeable Nose Pieces (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was skeptical at first to get this, but it worked out great. These glasses are best to use with the 3D ready DLP HDTVs. They don't require a separate ER emitter. The glasses sync up to the TV, using the TV's DLP-Link function, without an IR emitter. I have a Samsung HL67A750 TV with a Panasonic DMP-BDT100 Blu-Ray DVD player. Panasonic is the only one that you can set up to play in a checkerboard format. Samsung players do not work in this format.

Mitsubishi 3DA-1 3D Adapter Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this adapter on Amazon for use with my Mitsubishi WD-73736 TV, Direct TV satelitte receiver, and xpand DLP link X102 glasses. To view Direct TV 3D channels, you need an HD receiver model H21 or higher. Model H20 will not work, as it will not get the software update necessary to view 3D programming. The physical size of the adapter is about 5"x4"x1". It can sit horizontally or vertically with the included stand. It is supplied with an HDMI cable, AC adapter power supply, emitter VESA cable, and a two button infrared remote control with battery. There are detailed instructions for the hook up of the adapter, TV, and the video output device (in my case a Direct TV H21 receiver). Basically, you plug in the AC adapter and plug it into the back of the adapter. If using non DLP link shutter glasses, you will need to plug in the supplied emitter cables from the adapter to the TV, and the non supplied VESA cable that comes with your shutter glasses from the adapter to your emitter. Next hook up the supplied HDMI cable from the adapter directly to an HDMI input on your TV. The last step is to hook up a non supplied HDMI cable (CAT 2 high speed V1.3 will do), from the adapter to your video source (in my case a Direct TV H21 receiver). I tuned to one of the Direct TV 3D channels 103,104,106 and I kept getting a message on my Direct TV receiver that my TV was not 3D ready. Finally in frustration, I changed the cable that runs from the 3DA-1 adapter to my TV from the HDMI 1 input to HDMI 2. The TV auto detected this change, and I named the input "satelitte". The Direct TV receiver finally recognized my TV as one of the elite allowed 3D models and I started to receive the 3D signals. I was then able to switch back to HDMI 1 input on my TV with no problems. There must be some sort of handshake signal that was initiated by the TV's auto detect of the incomming signal on HDMI 2 input. Once I was allowed access to the Direct TV 3D signal, I tried connecting the 3DA-1 adapters output signal through my Sony AV receiver (which has a version 1.3 HDMI switch) to my TV. It did not work, and I again received that dreaded message that my TV was not 3D ready. Save yourself some grief and if using this adapter to view Direct TV, use only direct HDMI cable connections between the Direct TV receiver and the adapter and the TV and the adapter, otherwise, you will not get the 3d signal. Once properly connected, the 3DA-1adapter works great and will auto detect 2D and 3D signals and automatically adjust its output accordingly. There is a slight (about 5 to 10 second) time lag when switching between 2D and 3D signals. The adapter has two green lights on it's front panel, one for power on and one for 3D mode. The power on light is self explanatory, and the 3D light comes on whenever a 3D video input signal is detected. The included remote control comes with a supplied battery and two buttons (power and 3D mode). The power button turns the adapter on and off, it must be turned on to view 2D or 3D signals. The other button turns 3D mode on and off. If viewing 3D, the adapter will automatically sense 3D and light the 3D light on the adapter. Remember to use the TV's setup menu to enable the "3D mode" and select "reverse" if using xpand 3D DLP link glasses. The 3D button on the remote seemed to have no effect once a 3D signal was auto detected by the adapter. Kudos to Mitsubishi for making this product available for Mitsubishi DLP owners. The 3D looks fantastic, as good as any theater! If you are in the market for a 3D blue ray player, I highly recommend the Panasonic BDT350. It has a selectable 3D output mode for the checkerboard 3D output format that is required by the Mitsubishi and Samsung 3D ready DLP TV's, no adapter is required and it even works through a V1.3 HDMI switcher. I give the 3DA-1 adapter a 4 star rating instead of 5, because getting it to work with Direct TV was a pain, and it would be nice to have an automatic on/ off feature with the detection of an input video signal.
