Amazon.com Product Description The WD-65734 is a giant 65-inch DLP (Digital Light Processing) rear-projection HDTV from Mitsubishi that incorporates the latest technologies for an accurate picture that is perfect for a large home theater system. Giant Performance, Small Footprint Because the latest Texas Instruments 1080P DLP chip is inside, this television yields the full 1920 x 1080 high-definition resolution with progressive scan, the highest quality HDTV standard today. With a television this size, offering more than two million pixels is important to prevent visible pixelation. 
The WD-65734 supports the x.v.Color standard for 80 percent more color than standard HDTV. View larger. View back panel. | 
Despite the large screen size, the WD-65734 weighs just 78 pounds and is only 15.4 inches deep. View larger. | The television can display any video signal that is connected to it. When a 1080p signal is the input, it passes through with no down conversion: The 1080p signal is maintained from beginning to end, giving the best picture quality. When a lower resolution is detected, whether it is 720p HD or a DVD, the signal is automatically scaled to display at 1080p, with minimal side effects and a very detailed picture. The screen is huge and the technologies are many, but the unit itself weighs just 78 pounds and is only 15.4 inches deep, which means it will fit into many decors. More Color The WD-65734 incorporates a slew of new technologies that combine to give this television the most realistic color reproduction available on the market today. The new x.v.Color standard is supported, which dramatically increases the color space available, with 80 percent more color than standard HDTV. The WD-65734 also supports Deep Color, a new standard that incorporates 10-bit color depth, versus the previous 8-bit color depth. With Deep Color, shaded images show less banding and greater contrast. Coupled with this technology is Mitsubishi's exclusive 6-Color Light Engine, which uses six primary colors instead of the traditional three to create more colors. Mitsubishi's Color 4D Noise Reduction, PerfectColor, and PerfectTint yield a wider color palette and the ability to fine tune the set to your exact preferences. The end result is a brighter, smoother, and more realistic picture than ever before. Connections Galore You don't need to worry about running out of connections with the WD-65734. It has a total of four HDMI 1.3 inputs with Simplay HD certification, three in the rear and one in the front, so you can connect your Blu-Ray player, HD DVD player, and still have two inputs left over. It also has three component video inputs (two rear, one front), a front USB connection so you can display up to five-megapixel photographs, and two A/V inputs with S-Video. It has a Dolby Digital/PCM output and an analog stereo output. Mitsubishi's NetCommand enables the included partially illuminated remote to control an entire home theater system. The WD-65734 is backed by a limited 1-year warranty. What's in the Box WD-65734 65-inch DLP HDTV, remote control, two AA batteries, owner's guide, quick reference guide, quick connect guide, product registration card, and two-ended IR emitter.

The Mitsubishi WD-65734 is outstanding! September 3, 2007 27 out of 28 found this review helpful
Having seen this television at a local retail store, displayed among many others in the same price and size range, I was immediately sold on it. It, by far, had a better picture and viewing angle than the other five models around it, plus it handled motion better than its competition (including Samsung's LED DLP). I decided to look it up on Amazon, and I'm glad I did. The price was significantly lower online than it was in the store.
The delivery went smoothly (Eagle shipped it), it was easy to set up (by the way, I recommend the LACK tv unit ($69.99) from IKEA. It is sturdy, it doesn't bow from the weight of the tv, and the television fits perfectly on it), and within minutes, I was enjoying the beautiful picture.
I have no complaints so far. The controls are intuitive, the color control is great, and the PS3 and X-Box 360 look excellent on it. Blu-ray discs look especially good.
I've waited years to get an HDTV, and I am very happy with my choice. Also, this model includes HDMI 1.3, which should keep it relevant for a while.
I highly recommend this set. It's the best in its class, and not very expensive either.
Broke down - no parts September 14, 2007 15 out of 40 found this review helpful
Although Mitsubish may be ranked highly, they fail miserably in the customer service dept. Light engine went out on TV. It has been four months and still not repaired yet. Over the last three weeks I have called Mitsubishi Consumer Relations 3-4 times a day to try to get an answer. Sometimes they will transfer your call to 'Level 2' Consumer Relations, at times they refuse. Their response is always 'part will be shipped in 7-10 business days'. Four months later it is still the same excuse. Highly disappointed in Mitsubishi. What really upsets me is that the TV is for my elderly mother who is confined to the house and this wonderful product of theirs has been sitting in the living room inoperable for four months. There was no offer to replace the TV. This is how they treat their customers and the elderly. Will never buy Mitsubishi product again. Also, the menu is not user friendly. Sony is much better.
Whiner December 2, 2007 13 out of 20 found this review helpful
After negotiating a decent price on this unit at the local store, I was very disappointed to get it home and hear a very distinct high-pitched whine. I was so disappointed I kept it for a week trying to tell myself it wasn't that bad. It was. It didn't get better and I didn't get used to it. I bought this unit on recommendations from a couple friends that have NO issue with the noise. After going back to the store and listening to the floor model, I was convinced it wasn't just mine that was a problem. Clearly, with all the good reviews here, many people don't have a problem with it. But there were times I was watching this TV and just wanted to turn it off! Ironic when I think I watch too much TV but not the point of spending nearly $2000.
It IS a great picture for the $$$, it has an IR emitter cable for your other components and that is nice but that is about it for the good points.
To add to the buzzing noise problem, the unit has VERY bad built in speakers. Ok, I know most people buy the surround sound and never listen to the built in speakers, but they were so bad I would put them on par with grandma's portable AM radio from the seventies. There is no excuse for sound that bad.
I traded it for a Panasonic with the LIFI lamp and it is just as good a picture to my eyes and completely silent! Also, the built in speakers are very decent. For sports I prefer the built in speakers to all the ruckus created through the stereo set-up.
Phenomenal TV! Great first experience w/ HDTV December 13, 2007 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Wow! What can I say! First, I'm normally an early adopter for new technology! However, I've had a hard time making the decision to move to HDTV. Partially because it's hard to find enough info online to really understand HD, how to set it up, etc. Partially because I've had a great Hitachi Ultravision 61" Projection tv (not HD) for the past 7 years. I had a hard time convincing myself that HD would be that much different to warrant spending money and learning how to get HD. Well, I waited far too long!!
The Mitsu 65" 734 series (Medallion series) is a phenomenal tv! Everything about it is truly amazing. First, let's start with appearance. The 734 series doesn't have the ultra shiny appearance of the 833 series (Diamond Series). But, the appearance is stunning! It's incredibly sharp looking. Everyone who's seen it has just stopped in their tracks. And, that was while the tv was off!!
Next, setup. The setup on this tv is ridiculously easy. When you plug a device in, it detects it, tells you where it detected a device (HDMI 1, 2, or 3, Component 1 or 2, Ant 1 or Ant 2, etc). You just pick the type of device, and you're pretty much done. Changing input is great. You press the input button, and it shows all the inputs that are plugged in right on the screen. You just pick the one you want. No filtering through 7 inputs to find the right one.
My setup. First, antenna. Our house has a very large antenna in our attic (it's literally five feet tall). It's not an HD antenna, but I started with that input. Well, I live 40 miles from downtown Chicago. After scanning channels, this tv picked (with the antenna's assistance) all of the free digital channels, aside from CBS (low channel number). Next, cable. I've got basic cable. I connected to cable to a separate input, scanned channels, and it picked up all the unscrambled digital channels we have, with no cable box. Very nice! Third, I also have a standard tivo connected to this tv. I will be connecting an HD tivo in the next week. I also have a dvd player connected via component input.
Picture quality. Broadcast HD. The HD picture quality is amazing!!! There's no other way to say it. There is absolutely no ghosting. I've watched some heavy action scenes on HD broadcast tv and you just sit back and shake your head at the picture quality. It's stunning! DVD. We watched MI 3 on dvd. The picture was unbelievable. The tv does an incredible job at upconverting the signal. I'm upgrading to a dvd player with HDMI connection. But even over component input, the picture was fantastic. Tivo. Well, it's a standard tivo. But the picture is really surprisingly good. You can see that it's not HD, but the upconverting here is most impressive of all. Nonetheless, a new HD Tivo will be a happy addition.
Negatives. A couple. I think their impact will depend on the individual person, and the room the tv is going in. First, noise. The tv is DLP. Guess what. There's a LOT of heat with a DLP tv with a screen this size. So guess what. It can be a little noisy. We have our tv in a 25 x 20 room. We're sitting 14 feet away from the tv. If you mute the tv, you can hear the fan. If you turn the volume up a few notches, the noise blends out or can't be heard, depending on your listening volume. The further you are from the tv, the less noise you'll hear, since the fan is in back. But, we listen to our tv relatively quietly, and after one week, the noise doesn't bother my wife or I. Second item, heat. Make sure you have enough clearance for a tv this size. We have our tv a full 18 inches off the wall (it's a big room). That really allows the fan to get airflow for the bulb. How long the bulb will last, we will see. But unless you plan on sitting behind the tv, I don't think the heat is a problem. Just plan on at least 12 inches of clearance behind your tv. Third item, tuner speed. The tuner is digital and well, it's a little slow. There's an on screen guide that provides some programming info for some of the digital channels. You can use the guide to directly navigate to a channel, or you can type the channel number. If you're used to tivo though, the channel changing is a little slower. If you change channels constantly, it's probably worth a small investment to get an HD Tivo.
Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat. Hope this helps.
Bought from 6ave electronics, great in everyway! October 23, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
TV worked perfectly straight out of the box. DLPs take some time to strat up, it's just how they work, this TV does have an option for faster start up, but it consumes more power and is moer stress on the lamps. DLPs also hum, this hum is fairly quiet. I can only hear it during dead silence when it's on, and when it's off only for about 5 minutes. I wouldn't trade it for anything, the menu was very easy for me to navigate, the options of this TV are great, and I love having an HDMI input on the front panel! A+ all the way, It is worth more than I paid 6ave.
