Wonderful TV for a great price - beware of the Rainbow Effect though June 24, 2008
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
I was initially VERY pleased with this TV. It has a gorgeous picture, does a great job of upconverting standard definition inputs and my Playstation 3 looks AMAZING on it. Also, the 3D Ready aspect delivers the most amazing and clear 3D. It's like seeing a 3D film in the theaters - although take note that it does require a PC with some hefty processing power as well as some expensive 3D shutterglasses and an IR transmitter for the glasses. The effect is brilliant though once you get it working. Also, ordering something like this from Amazon.com was quite easy and the delivery was fairly prompt and convenient. If it were just these things, I would be giving the TV a perfect 5 score and encouraging anyone looking into getting a big HDTV to give this TV a shot because it really delivers a lot of bang for the buck.
However, it lost a star for me because ultimately I had to return it which thankfully was very easy through Amazon.com's 30 Day return policy. Why did I have to return such a wonderful TV? Because I'm one of the unlucky people found in 20% of the population who can see the so-called rainbow effect on DLP TV's. If you are unfamiliar with this effect, look it up on wikipedia under the DLP article. At first, I somehow didn't notice this effect. This is probably because in my first few days of having the TV, I happened to only watch a few animated programs. But then, I decided to watch Bram Stoker's Dracula on Blu-ray and started noticing rainbows and color trails from almost the beginning. Another film I watched that suffered heavily from this effect was Ocean's Eleven.
If you're looking for a great TV for a good price, I definitely recommend checking this TV out. But before buying, definitely try finding it at a store where you can check it out for rainbows. If you have a copy of Ocean's Eleven, you should probably see the rainbows pretty easily in the opening scene during the prison interview if you are one of the unlucky folks who see rainbows. Also, an almost guaranteed rainbow effect - even for those who don't normally see them - can be seen if you pop in the THX Optimizer Aspect Ratio test pattern found on several DVDs including any of the Star Wars titles.
If you are like me and find that you see the rainbow effect and yet really want a TV that uses the DLP technology, one possibility is Samsung's LED DLP TVs which are also found here on Amazon.com. The downside is that they are a little pricier than the Mitsubishis, but the plus side is that the LED technology is supposed to minimize and almost eliminate the rainbow effect.
UPDATE: I'm afraid that if like me you are sensitive to the rainbow effect, then you should probably simply steer clear of any DLP system. I tried out the above mentioned Samsung DLP TVs as well and although the effect was eliminated in some cases, I could still frequently see it. Oddly enough, when I could see it on the Samsung it seemed even worse then the times when I saw it on the Mitsubishi despite the Samsung's supposed advantage in this area.
 Could be great, but... July 23, 2008

It's a nice TV set, indeed -- the picture is crisp, the colors are natural, and the built-in speakers are well above average. It would make a great product if it wasn't for an apparently flawed lamp/cooler/sensor combination.
While we had our TV on for 4-5 hrs a day on average, six months after we got the set, the lamp went bad, and we had to replace it (that time under warranty) -- Mitsubishi service dept. handled it pretty well. Less than 12 months later the second lamp went bad, so we had to pay for a replacement this time around. And since about 2 weeks ago the TV started shutting itself down a few seconds after being turned on while reporting the lack of airflow (message on the screen and amber status light), so my guess is it's a sensor that's acting out.
Poor lamp life is probably due to overheating, and that's in our big family room where typical temperature is about 74F and plenty of air flow.
I cannot tell, however, if this is just our unit or there is a common problem with these sets.
 AMAZING!!! June 6, 2008

I bought this to replace a Hitachi 57" HDCRT that was past its prime, and from the moment I turned it on I knew I made the right choice. Out of the box the setting had to be tweaked a bit due to the blinding brightness that they have it tuned on from the factory, but after a few changes the picture was superb. Directv looks very good but this thing really shines with a 1080P source. Xbox 360 looks unbelievable, with the new texas instruments dark chip 4 im seeing details and colors in games I never have before. As for Blu Ray through a PS3, the picture quality is as good or better than anything this side of a Pioneer Kuro. For the price of this tv anyone who spends twice as much on a plasma or LCD that still wont be as big as this is a fool!! Yes I know you cant hang it on a wall but who cares, most home theater enthusiasts have too many A/V wires from all their equipment to make wall mounting an easy option anyway. Bottom line is if you are in the market for a tv seriously consider this model and you will not be unhappy.
Worth every dime... June 2, 2008

I was on a budget yet wanted the best unit money could buy. Let me tell you, this TV is awesome. I found it on sale and had my doubts about the size and features: I really wanted a 73 inch. I have it connected now and it is simply stunning. The color and clarity rival any unit I have seem, even the more expensive offerings. I am quite pleased that I followed my hunch. I even saved some money. When I am watching my TV, I do not even notice it is not 73 inces. It was easy to set up, connect and one can navigate between functions, DVD or cable etc., quickly and simply. I immediately connected my unit to a surround sound system so I can not attest to the quality of the unit's speakers. That never enters into my thinkings as I will always have independent stereo sound.

before i bought this set i owned a 58inch hitachi ultravision for 6yrs.i loved the picture on that set.i didn't think i would ever find a set with such a great picture again, but i was wrong! i needed to get a slimmer tv because of room constraints so i started shopping. i looked at everything except Mitsubishi(i always thought they were overpriced). then one day i found a great sale going on at one of the big local dealers. they were giving trade-in credit on tv's even if they didn't work. so i checked one out and boy was i supprised.the picture took my breath away.the color was bright,sharp and precise. the whites were white,not blue-white.the colors were natural and tight,no bleeding.the blacks didn't run into each other you could see the detail and shades against other blacks,like a black suit on a black background.when i got the set home it took all but 5 minutes to hook up. when i turned it on it looked even better then it did at the store.it has all the hook-ups you'll need.i have all my scorsese connected to the HDMI for best performance.i think movies look better then in a theater with my blu-ray DVD player. even the HDTV hookup looks perfect. this is a beautiful set and i would recommend it to everyone.last but not least I'm not getting the rainbow effect some others have had so i can't comment on it except i can't see it. i hope this helps whoever reads this. i love my new tv! if you decide to buy one i don't think you'll be sorry. before i forget,you can upgrade to a more expensive 65 inch from Mitsubishi with more horns and whistles, but it will just be a waste of your hard earned money. this tv will give you all that you need in HDTV.
