 Loving the Mitsubishi WD-57731 September 9, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I originally purchased the Samsung HL-S5687W but was not happy with the picture. Standard Def broadcasts were very unappealing and the high-def pictures tended to be blurred when there was much action going on.
I couldn't be more happy with the Mitsubishi. Even standard def programs are improved. 720p looks amazing on this TV. I can't recall seeing a better picture on any Plasma, LCD or DLP TV. I can't wait to get my HD DVD player and experience 1080p on this TV.
Outstanding picture! September 12, 2006

I researched many types of TV's - plasma, LCD, etc. - before deciding to purchase this one and could not be happier. I was a little concerned about the life expectancy of plasma technology and I didn't care about mounting the set on a wall. The high def channels are superb and the standard def channels are better than what I expected. The sporting events I watched over the weekend - NFL and US Open tennis matches were incredible in high def. The sound quality is tolerable, but I would recommend hooking this TV to a surround sound system as mine is to enjoy the whole package.
My experience with this purchase from Amazon was easy and delivered as expected with no problems. I also purchased the matching stand through Amazon as well and could not be happier with it.

The image quality for this DLP monitor is as good or better than any Plasma or LCD screen I've seen in the past six months! The high resolution (1080x1920) makes the nature shows and sports programs (i.e. football) quite enjoyable to view; plus, with HD and the 57" screen, DVD movies are seen at a whole new "speed". So far, I'm impressed.
amazing features, outstanding quality October 29, 2006

After doing much comparison shopping, I decided to go with this Mitsubishi over comparable Samsung and Sony models. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend this set for anyone considering a DLP. Picture quality is crisp, well defined, and highly customizable. This color settings need to be adjusted out of the box for the best picture. (I recommend using the Bright setting over the Natural and Brilliant options). In fact, the HD signals are so good that you don't want to watch basic cable. The design is elegant. One issue with DLP sets is something called the rainbow effect. I would read about this before purchasing any DLP set. Either way, I haven't noticed this issue at all with either HD signals or basic cable. In my opinion, the picture is flawless. With all that said, there are a few things I would like to change. The depth dimension is slightly long but of course if depth is an issue, then I would go with a Plasma TV. The second issue has to do with PIP. The set only allows PIP from 2 individual signals (coax vs. RCA, coax vs. HDMI, etc). In order words the cable signal that arrives from one source cannot be used to provide PIP. The final issue is the delay in changing channels with the remote. Not sure why this happens. Of note, this is not an issue when using another source to change channels such as TIVO or the VCR.

The Good:
1. Great array of inputs.
2. Great on screen guides.
3. Great display of SD signals.
4. Outstanding display of HD signals. Can't wait for some 1080p content!
5. Great customization options for color, brightness, etc.
6. Easy to use (even in the dark) remote.
7. Out of box settings aren't bad at all. You could tune down the brightness and color temp. and do nearly nothing else and it would look fine. The videofiles will want to further tweak.
8. At 88 lbs, I could move it myself if I could get a handle on it. If Mitsu incorporated some molded handles in a thought out location, us bachelors could move it solo.
The Bad:
1. Processing fire, ticker tape and fast water movement (think surfing scenes) becomes pixilated. Hopefully better processing is included in latter models.
2. Switching from SD to HD signal takes about 4 seconds... even 720 to 1080 takes a few seconds. This MAY be more of an issue with the POS (piece of sh*#) DirecTV HD receiver which earns my frown of the year award for customer ripoff/ lousy design in an overpriced, under-engineered electronic device category.
3. Cannot split screen between TV and CPU. What's the point then I say!
4. To go from TV to CPU (set at a higher resolution like 1080 x 1920) you have to first tune to an HD (720 or 1080) station. Otherwise the CPU display is distorted and you receive an "invalid signal type" message.
Overall:
I doubt you'll find a better TV for the price. I've learned to live with the bad and you can too.
