"Thrilling Detail and Color Accuracy"
Pros: 1. Great detail and contrast 2. Brightness that can handle the brightest ambient light conditions 3. Very accurate color reproduction
Cons: Speakers have a harsh metalic sound. Female voices are especially grating.
Summary: We bought the WD-73734 and we are delighted with it. The speakers can use improvement, but we expected that from the product specs and the sound in the stores. We hope to remedy that with our own speakers and receiver, if we can get them to work. The set was picture-perfect out-of-the-box, though we toned down bulb setting to conserve bulb life, and use "natural" setting at night due to brilliance of other settings. Colors do not wash out even under our very bright ambient light during the day. This set has astounding color accuracy, even the greens and shades of black. We are happy with our choice.Updated
Sorry to have to report that the screen now has a dim glow replacing that wonderful picture. The dealer will be swapping a new TV for the old new TV, next week. We hope for better luck.Updated
Sadly, I have to report another issue. About a month after the switch-out set was received, we lost sound for approx. a second at a time. This loss became more frequent, then resolved itself. Then the problem recurred but became more frequent. One day we lost sound for 2 hours and it then came back as mysteriously as it was lost. Now it is just a loss for a second or so, but too frequently to tolerate. The picture occasionally blanked as well, but not often.
Since our dealer could not send a tech to our area for a month, and I did not want to deal with company, the dealer allowed us to, ineffect, trade-up, for a reasonable price. We are hoping the 73833 is better.
It is fair to note that other folks have not had trouble with Mitsubishi. Maybe we are just unlucky.Updated
Sadly, I have to report another issue. About a month after the switch-out set was received, replacing the set that lost the picture, we lost sound on the new one for approx. a second at a time. This loss became more frequent, then resolved itself, for a while. Soon thereafter, the problem recurred but became more frequent. One day we lost sound for 2 hours and it then came back as mysteriously as it was lost. Another time we lost it for only a few minutes. However, we still have a repeating loss of sound for a second or so. Rarely, the picture blanks momentarily as well, or a while band shows on the lower third of the screen. Mostly, the sound interuptions are the issue.
Since our dealer could not send a tech to our area for a month, and I did not want to deal with manufacturer, the dealer kindly allowed us to, ineffect, trade-up, for a reasonable price. We are hoping the 73833 is better.
