Asandra Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:15:09 +0000 #comment-73 The reviews who say that Monster cables are overpriced are somewhat right, but the price is WORTH IT if you have an HDTV. I upgraded from high-gauge cheap HDMI cables and could immediately see the difference on my 1080p TV. I have a Samsung 46" 120hz television and the picture is clearer and smoother. I think those of you who don't "see" the difference must have lower end televisions. Don't believe me? Take a cheap HDMI cable and plug it into your Blu-ray drive or HD cable receiver and watch a few scene and take note of the edges on people's faces. Then switch to a Monster. You will notice a CLEAR difference and smoother picture. Again, you might need a high-end HDTV to see it. <br /> <br />All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and can say that Monster cables are worth the price.

The people that sell the cheap stuff are the only ones saying that the cables are all the same. What Monster provides is documented evidence and clinical trials that show why higher quality cables are needed. Just because a cable looks the same out the outside doesn't mean it works the same on the inside, just like robots. <br /> <br />I did a test between this cable and a cheap-o cable on my 150" screen. I have an HD projector with a blu-ray machine hooked up so I'm getting the highest consumer grade video quality available. The quality may look fine on a tiny screen but so does VHS compared to DVD. Use a bigger screen and you can easily see the difference, once again the difference is as easy to see as VHS compared to DVD. <br /> <br />You spent thousands of dollars for a good tv and not a cheap brand where they claim does the same thing but actually doesn't. Do you want to fall into the same trap with your cables? <br /> <br />It may not be a popular opinion but it's the truth. Rating: 5 / 5 Don’t believe the hype that cheap cables are just as good.

I've been looking at the new 240Hz sets along with the more common 120Hz. Mitsubishi seems more or less disinterested in the numbers game, as they aren't emphasizing the refresh rate (120Hz), contrast ratio, or other specs that seem to dominate LCD TV marketing. Although the specs can tell you much about a display, the proof is in the actual viewing experience. That's where this model really impressed me. <br /> <br />Using the 'Natural' display preset actually produces a very natural image in color, contrast and brightness. The color balance is excellent. Color gradients are flawless, with no visible banding. The picture is incredibly sharp - given the right source. This set really shows its quality with Blu-ray video; detail is fantastic and motion is smooth with no visible blurring. This is also true of sports broadcasts in HD. <br /> <br />Mitsubishi emphasizes the integrated surround sound system on their web site. It's a nice feature if you don't have a separate surround sound amp. However, if you hope to get the surround effect, take a look at the diagrams in the online version of the owner's manual. (It's more complete than the printed one.) Since my room isn't rectangular, I couldn't really test the 'sound projection' capabilities. You can connect and external sub-woofer too, which I did not attempt. <br /> <br />Connectivity is good, with 4 HDMI inputs, and two component/composite inputs. A USB port is a nice feature, as you can connect a flash drive or other storage device, and play back digital files directly. (I haven't had a chance to test this thoroughly yet.) A digital audio output should come in handy for routing audio back to my surround sound receiver from the antenna input. <br /> <br />The design is understated, with an all black cabinet. The logos aren't huge, and they don't light up or anything. I particularly like the narrow (less than 1") bezel. On the stand, I have just enough room for my center speaker, which is about 4.5" high, to sit in front of the set. I'm still getting accustomed to the glossy screen, and was a bit wary of it before I made my purchase. My viewing room has a large window opposite the TV, and the reflection is a problem. However, the nature of a matte finish screen tends to reduce the sharpness of the image, so I opted for a better picture. <br /> <br />The remote is 'activity based' and capable of controlling other devices through the usual code entry, or via HDMI control of CEC devices. The button array is pretty basic, so you may end up using a different universal remote, or individual remotes. I haven't programmed the included remote, as I use a Logitech Harmony One instead. <br /> <br />This TV doesn't have some of the 'features' other manufacturers are throwing in these days. But honestly, I don't need network connectivity, kid's features or recipes on my TV. The Energy Star rating is another plus, and something that's becoming fairly common. If you're looking for a high-quality LCD TV that you'll enjoy for years, take a look at this unit. I find it to be truly impressive. Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this set from a local dealer.

The higher end Sony XBR9 and the Samsung 750 have a slightly better picture, but with that said, this has an outstanding picture and great sound. I hooked up a sub and when watching movies it sounds terrific with a crystal clear picture. The colors in the picture also seem the most accurate to real life. It is very sharp looking too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking at for a TV and love this choice over other TV's I researched.

Wood http://hdtvforsale.info/mitsubishi-wd-73837-73-inch-1080p-120hz-home-theater-dlp-hdtv.html/comment-page-1#comment-51 D. Wood Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:03:50 +0000 #comment-51 I was very nervous about DLP technology since it seemed that everyone was getting away from it except Mitsubishi. I remembered the VHS/Beta days, and didn't want to invest in a dying technology. So I did quite a lot of research, and realized after all of it that the main problem with this type of TV is that it cannot be hung on a wall, and is somewhat thicker than plasma, LCD or LED HDTVs. The "hang on the wall" TVs are about 3 to 4 inches deep, and this one is 17 inches deep. For its size though (73 inches diagonal), that it really not much of a difference, and once I got it home it was great. Plus I didn't need to make holes in my walls or have professional installation, or make a real commitment on where to put it before I plugged it in. I think there is also some stigma about rear projection TVs since many people remember those sort of glassy, plastic looking ones from the 80's that never seemed to be quite in focus. This one could not be more different. During my research, I saw some grumbling about picture quality, but quickly realized that every TV has someone who complains about it, and the DLP could deliver true black and did not have problems with screen burn. So my impression is that DLP actually has very high picture quality, as good or better than LCD and as good as plasma or LED. I eventually made it to a Best Buy and looked at a 60 inch DLP right next to a 55 inch plasma, and realized that the picture was identical (at least to me) - both up close and at a distance. My brother also has had a 60 inch DLP for several years, and has no regrets. <br /> <br />The key was that at some point I realized that the VHS/Beta argument doesn't really apply here since the HDTV signal is universal and will work on this or any HDTV regardless of whether everyone or only Mitsubishi makes these (so it is not the same thing as getting stuck with a Beta VCR and nowhere to find tapes). As long as there are spare light bulbs out there, it will work and I will be happy (my brother also mentioned that he has never changed the bulb in 5 years, and watches a LOT of football). I eventually found out that this is the same technology that is used in digital movie theaters, which seems to be a good endorsement. And it has all the bells and whistles about being 3D ready and having all the settings that can be changed and tweaked endlessly (if you're into that). <br /> <br />So I have it set up, and have attached a Playstation 2, Playstation 3, HD Cable Box and Wii, and they all get along (House of the Dead on 73 inches is really a trip). It is really easy to switch from one input to another, and programming them was a no-brainer (very simple menu commands, and most things you would want to attach are already there in pull-down menus on the TV by name - definitely user-friendly). I admit that I am not a true videophile, so all the discussions of professional color calibration were lost on me. I just wanted a really big TV that was cheap, looked great and was really easy to use. And this is it. No complaints so far, except now I want to know when all the 3D stuff will be coming out. I cannot wait. <br /> <br />Also, the built-in speakers are fine for me. I think a surround system with subwoofers would drive my neighbors crazy at this point, so that will probably wait until I have a house. But no complaints on sound for now either. And the room I have it in gets plenty of sunlight and that is also not a major problem. I would say it holds up about as well as any TV to a bright room (not perfect, but fine with the shades drawn). <br /> <br />A final note: It is really light and easy to move around. You would need someone to help because it is so big, but I just found a guy out in the hall of my apartment complex and we had it up on the stand in about 3 seconds. He laughed and said he bought a 60 inch DLP last year and also really likes it. Once it was secured to the stand I could slide it (carefully) into position once the wires were all hooked up. <br /> <br />I would definitely buy again (except this time I would get the 84 inch one)...

During the 7 years, I have owned this TV, I never experienced any issue, so I decided to stick with Mitsubishi. In 2006, I was looking for a bigger TV, a 73' unit, but the price was too high. I did a lot of research on DLP technology so I decided that as soon as the price was right I would buy one. I waited for 3 years and on Black Friday 2009, the Mitsubishi 73' DLP was at a price I was comfortable with. <br /> <br />I have had the new 73' DLP at home for almost 3 weeks now. The calibration process has been slow and it has taken a bit of getting used to the TV menu. I am a colorist in the film industry, so I am very picky about colors being reproduced accurately and I expected the TV to display the same quality picture and colors as my $40,000 Sony monitor at the studio. Right out of the box I was extremely disappointed, the colors on this TV were horrible, I spent hours calibrating the colors and going through the TV's menu. Two weeks later I realized that I was calibrating the TV to the HD TV signal, which is completely inconsistent in terms of color and quality from channel to channel and network to network. Last week, my third week with the TV, I decided to calibrate the monitor with some blu-ray DVDs and some high quality visuals from my studio. I spent another few hours painstakingly calibrating the monitor using the extensive range of calibration colors Mitsubishi has packed with this model, and what can I say? I am blown away! <br /> <br />When calibrated, the clarity and accuracy of the colors are unbelievable. The brightness and level of detail of the DLP processor is jaw dropping. It was a pain to calibrate the monitor, it has taken me endless hours of tweaking (that's why Mitsubishi strongly advices to get the TV professionally calibrated - I just didn't want to pay - I wanted the satisfaction of doing it myself) but now that the TV is calibrated I am EXTREMELY happy with the purchase. I have the TV hooked up to a Denon and Polk surround sound system. The difference in size from my older 65' to the new 73' is dramatic and the cinematic experience is just OUTSTANDING. The viewing distance ratio of where you sit on a movie theatre to the size of the silver screen is almost exactly the same as sitting 13 - 14 feet from your couch to this 73' Mitsubishi DLP TV. <br /> <br />I know that this is not a very cheap TV, but I do think it is affordable. 4 years ago this TV tag price was over $4,000; this year it dropped to $2,399 and if you buy from Amazon or Cructhfiled add no tax, no shipping and possibly 24 months no interest. If you watch a lot of TV, like me, this TV is awesome, but if you have a blu-ray player and love to watch movies this TV will definitely exceed your wildest expectations. I GREATLY and STRONGLY recommend two things: 1) Buy this TV!!!; and 2) Either spend the time calibrating it to a quality video signal if you have the patience and the knowledge or get it professionally calibrated. <br /> <br />Once you do the two things above, you will be extremely happy and proud, yes proud, with your new DLP TV. <br /> <br />Stuart Ferreyra <br />Timecode Multimedia <br />[...] Rating: 5 / 5 I bought my first Mitsubishi 65′ HD (rear projection) in 2002 when HD was barely taking off the ground here in the U.S. The light guns of the this TV were getting old and it was only able to work in 1080i not 1080p.
