MITSUBISHI WS48315 48" Screen
MITSUBISHI WS48315 48 inby terrbo - November 20, 2009
Pros: have had this Unit since 2004 I have had no servcie problems with it, Never had to make service call.
Cons: It is a great unit the only downside is even though it is advertised as upgradeable I can not find anyone or anyplace online, that knows how to upgrade the Unit.
Review:
The HDCP software needs to be updated to work with some units, It will not work with the ONKYO hometheater units or certian cable box's because of the HDCP software so,it elimnates the use of HDMI cables even with the adapter to DVI,the Yamaha HomeTheater unit has chip that allows the use with older HDCP codes.Me and the guys at HHGREGG tried for over a month to make the Onkyo HT unit work we even tried diffrent canles and adapters from Monster cable and still no go, so then we tried the Yamaha HT unit just a little advice if you have only DVI digital input on your TV set.

MITSUBISHI TVS SUCKby adonism2 - December 5, 2007
Pros: 65" DLP LARGE SCREEN TV
Cons: LAMPS FAIL TOO QUICK
Review:
I purchased my 65" DLP from HHGREG 2/4/07. This tv has had to be repaired 4 times already. As much as it costs you would think it wouldn't have as many issues as it does. Not only is MITSUBISHI making defaulty items but HHGREG carries the products and don't take any responisibilty. DO NOT PURCHASE PRODUCTS FROM HHGREGG! Last year I puchased a 32" plasma from WALMART and we have not had any issues from this tv even though its ILO products! This 32" tv has been ran more hours than this crappy 65". Buyers beware!!! Or you will be sad like me to have wasted your money on a product who doesnt care after they have your money!!!
