Customer Review

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 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 withing 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.


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-73737 73-Inch 1080p 120Hz - M. Castorr -

Just the best I've seen - Dr Tim Gladu - Illinois,USA
I have had this now for about two weeks. I got it the first Saturday of the Olympics and when I plugged it into the HD cable and it came to life it was just awesome. It was like I was there with the skiers coming down the hill. I use a receiver for sound so I can't really say how the speakers sound. Then I played a blue ray and well can say again awesome. If you are thinking about buying this Home Theater machine then do it. You will not be sorry. I almost forgot playing HD games like MW2 is also awesome.

Excellent for HDTV, not ideal as computer monitor - Colin Dunn -
I bought this TV to use as a large-screen computer display and for HD TV / home theater use. I'm using it with a Shuttle small-form-factor desktop based on an Intel G33 chipset. This PC has HDMI video/audio output.

This TV is excellent for video applications. After making small adjustments to the picture settings, I'm getting a better picture than on a front-projection setup. Brightness, contract, and black levels are good. Colors seem natural and not overly-juiced (a common problem on TVs).

I have a hard time recommending it for PC usage. It's unclear if it's possible to get a true :1 pixel mapping (disabling geometry correction in the service menu allegedly does this). Significant overscan (3%+) hides the edges of the Windows desktop. There are slight inconsistencies in focus/geometry that become apparent when using as a computer display. There's no VGA input, and over HDMI, the display doesn't sync in all PC video modes; the 720x480 text mode and HDTV resolutions (1080p) display; other screens during the Windows boot process (640x480 VGA) don't appear at all.

If you run Media Center on your HTPC, this TV is fine because Media Center avoids using the edges of the screen. If you do any desktop usage or gaming, think again.
