Customer Review: Amazing picture!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this TV for about 1 month now and am absolutely amazed with the picture quality.
I was moving off a 9 year old Mitsubishi 60" rear projection TV on standard def TV, so I may be overly impressed with the HD aspect of the image, but the picture quality on this new Mitsubishi is amazing.
I frequently watch DirecTV HDTV (and standard) broadcasts, watch movies on an old DVD player, and use the Wii gaming system. I have no surround sound system yet and have found the audio to be below the quality of my old TV (someone mentioned it sounds like it comes out of a can which is true). However, the sound is good enough for me right now until I can install my surround sound system, so I'm not in a hurry to do that yet.
I used most of the default settings for color/etc and simply use the "Natural" setting for night-time TV watching and the "Brilliant" setting for day-time TV watching. My TV is in a well-lit room with a lot of ambient light and there is almost no noticeable reflection from the sun or the ceiling track lights. The improvement over the old rear projection TV is phenomenal in that regard (the old TV screen almost acted like a mirror in some cases, which ruined the picture quality on sunny days depending on the viewing angle).
I also set the TV to simply broadcast every signal in native format, so I sometimes am watching 480i (Wii); sometimes 720p (ABC & ESPN); and sometimes watching 1080i (various cable and network stations). Even with 1080i it seems that not all broadcasts have the same quality.
The Wii looks much better than on my old TV, but not as good as on my in-laws 55" Sony XBR. Apparently they have an X-Box which broadcasts in 1080p (1080i maybe?) instead of the 480 the Wii manages. Even with 480, the Wii games are phenomenal on such a huge TV screen, and that more than makes up for any slight blurriness. If you look for the soft edges, you'll find them, but if you just play the games, they look great.
I have watched basketball and Nascar, and have not noticed any problems with the image or blurriness. The image is so sharp it is almost frightening (especially on the Brilliant setting)...I can't wait for football season to start!
I considered a plasma, but knew the Wii gaming system would probalby be left on overnight (frequently?) and possibly ruin the TV. I also considered a LCD, but really wanted a HUGE TV. I seriously considered the 65" Sharp Aquos, but when I compared the image at Best Buy, the Mitsubishi blew it away. That and the fact that a couple of my friends have the same TV sold me on getting the 73" Mitsu.
I bought the matching base to go along with the TV and actually freed up almost 1 foot of space in my living room by replacing the old 60" TV which had a monster footprint. This TV snaps into the base and is quite sturdy.
I just noticed Mitsubishi has a newer verions (85737) now, and they also may have 84" TV. That would probably be too large. The 73" right now borders on "almost too big" because we sit about 12-15 feet away from the picture, and sometimes you actually have to move your eyes a little to the left or right to see the entire scene on such a big TV! (especially if an object moves across the entire screen)
Anyway, just thought I'd provide a brain-dump of everything I thought and saw in case it is helpful for anyone else to make a decision on this TV. I have no regrets and am actually disappointed in myself for not pulling the trigger earlier!
