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. That's not a knock against this set as SD looks lousy on all big screens. Highly recommended). It's makes the set easy to control with my Logitech Harmony universal remote. 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. I just purchased this TV to replace a 56" first generation, HD-ready rear projection TV from Toshiba. Otherwise, you might well be disappointed.I also appreciate that the set has discrete IR codes for each of the inputs.
My only gripe - and it's a minor one - is that the set doesn't support picture-in-picture or picture-outside-picture. If you're just getting into big screen TVs, make sure you have high-definition sources. 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. It makes me want to re-watch all of my Blu-ray disks. After it's properly set up, it's darned near reference quality. 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.
The set has inky blacks; vibrant, natural colors; and a razor sharp picture. Be aware though that when it comes to SDTV, bigger is definitely not better. I'm happy to say that my personal experience has been equally as positive. Especially if you're looking for a big screen but can't afford the high price of a comparably sized plasma or LCD.
but i can and will complain about a couple of other things. the audio sounds as if it's coming out of 2 hollow cans underneath the set. i don't pay for any HD broadcasts via cable but all of my local stations now broadcast in hi-def and the picture in amazing. let's start with the picture.
this is ur best DLP.finally i'll make a comment about the fit/finish. panels don't line up. Understanding that this is now the top Mits series (Diamond), i expected a lot from this tv. most importantly the sound quality. it's so incredibly disappointing it really ruins the experience of the picture.
i mean really. i can't complain about that. what a massive ridiculous insulting JOKE. i think Mitsubishi has lost me with this set.
i've owned severaly Mits DLP tv's including the WD-65100 (a $15k retail model that they no longer sell) that i'm replacing with this new model. i'm appalled by this. whoever at Mits signed off on this audio should be fired immediately. basially, it's B league. it's staggeringly bad. i've been a fan for years. it's fantastic.
unfortunately, somebody has made some really horrible decisions that will sour my future allegiance to the brand. i'm seriously blown away by how horrible the sound is on this set. i can seriously get better sound from a $99 portable TV than this set provides. the plastic is of a cheap quality, the fold down door on the front panel (that hides the controls) does not fully close and is not flush and can't be fixed, it's just bad quality, plain and simple. and that's too bad.
At low to mid volumes, the speakers buzz/vibrate. Mitsubishi is unable to do something about it after 3 months and they do not stand behind their warranty policy. Buy it only if you can accept it "as is" and deal with the service issues out of pocket. Absolutely astonishing they can get away with what they do.
The only problem is you can really tell the difference between HD and regular TV. Fantastic picture, with great color and definition. In fact, regular TV appears out of focus/blurry, because the images are so large. Easy setup and adjustments. Senses inputs and goes into setup mode. Defintely recommned. You will probably want a blu-rat to take advantage of all of this TV's capabilities.
The color of red is not true red like SONY displays. Other than that. it's a damn good TV.
