"I have not seen a better picure on any TV"
Pros: The Picture, The Connectivity, The Price
Cons: Setup took some time, Physical Depth vs. flat screen
Summary: I read the CNET review on the WD-65831 in the editors top choices for HDTV. I did not need flat screen and liked the price of DLP instead. So I went to a local store to see if they had the WD-65831. When I asked to see the Mitsubishi 65" they took me to the WD-65734 (unknown to me). I was stunned at the picture.
It was the TV they had setup in their high end theatre room so I figured it was the high end Mitsubishi. Then I asked the price. They listed $1899.00. I whined and got it for $1799.00!
I promise you that it had a better picture then any of the plasma or LCD screens I have seen. It has 3 HDMI inputs, 2 component, and it upconverts to 1080p. The US OPEN golf tournement was almost spooky good and Colts football was to die for.
The Side by Sid picture ROCKS!
Setup of HDMI and sound took a minute because I use my ONKYO receiver for 7.1 sound and HDMI video. I also took a bit to get the side by side picture setup and video sources. But all in all once I did it made the experience easier after that.
The only real complaint is that it takes a minute to shutdown and turn on. But I guess it is protecting itself in some way. I just hate waiting for the TV to shutdown at bed time. How is that for grasping for a complaint.
If you can deal with TV being 24" thick then you can not beat this TV. I cannot for the life of me figure out why someone would spend $700 more for the other Diamond series Mits. or worse yet $2000 more for a flat TV. Most amature home theatre geeks have equipment to ride beside it anyway.
