See the review here on Amazon from the TV installer. This TV is a solid purchase for anyone considering > 55" TV that won't break the bank. Don't let the need for plasma or LCD based televisions fool you into thinking that you must spend almost 3x the price of this for that technology. If you want to go big on a budget, the DLP TVs are still a solid purchase.

My 8 year old 57" Sony CRT Projection television popped a gasket and failed on me earlier than I wanted it too and before I was ready to make a 'big' purchase. I had dreamed of remodeling my bonus room to go full projection with movie screen and all that jazz but that was a significant investment to do what I wanted to do. I'd hoped to get another few years out of my CRT Projection but there were no parts available, and it appears that at least in my area no one wants to fix TVs, just sell you another one.

So with help of AVSForum and a few other resources I decided that this version of the 65" DLP TVs from the folks at Mitsubishi was for me.

First and Foremost if you are coming from an older style CRT projector YOU NEED A STAND. There is absolutely no base on this thing as far as height goes compared to older generation televisions. Right now we have it sitting on a desk as I have been unable to find a stand that works how I'd like it. I'd like one that can hold a large center channel (Klipsch RC-3) and some larger sized pre-amp/amp (Outlaw 990 and Outlaw 7700 amp) and the stands I have found so far aren't 'tall' enough on the shelves. I'm most likely going to design and make my own.

I've watched a Blu-Ray movie on it, and about 15 to 20 hours of DirecTV HDTV on it, along with about 10 hours of PS3 Games I will admit that it looks markedly better than my older television but I think that's a combination of technology change and how the HDMI connections better communicate what mode to switch into. I'm not 100% certain but it's a lot easier to tell (via info button) what resolution is coming out of the DirecTV receiver or the BluRay player so I'm able 'see' what resolution I'm really at. Also the upgrade from 57" to 65" viewing is pretty amazing.

As far as the 'detractions' you'll find about a DLP TV I am not seeing them. The TV is silent even after hours of viewing so there is no 'fan noise' that is reported about the light. Also, the light itself is inexpensive to replace () compared to other brands of DLP TVs so the argument of a 0 light bulb is not an issue. You still need to replace it but is easier to swallow than 0 - 0 i've seen for some models.

I've also heard there are ways to add the software available for the higher model (737) vs. this model to add some features. Search engines are your friend on that one.

Delivery worked as advertised. I wasn't home to see it but my wife reports that other than getting it to the door they're not much help. Fortunately, two of them on TV is not easy to very hard. (Because of the size rather than weight) required to move it. Box, the children will be able to play a big star.
