Mitsubishi WD-65733 65″ 1080p DLP HDTV

More color, for a more colorful image. Mitsubishi is taking Color to a new level with x.v.Color support and its exclusive 6-Color Light Engine. x.v.Color is the new standard for HDTV and it enables 80% more color than standard HDTV!

Mitsubishis 6-Color Light Engine processes and produces images with six different colors instead of the traditional three to display a wider range of colors, brighter colors and whiter whites. Additional color features such as Color 4D Noise Reduction and PerfectColor allow for additional advanced color processing and adjustment. The result is breathtaking realism with vivid, yet natural Color Without Compromise.

Larger screen, not larger spaces. These 733 Series 57, 65 and 73 1080p DLP HDTVs feature Mitsubishis unique TurboLight180 lamp system and Plush1080p processing for both unsurpassed detail in over 2 million pixels and for bright, vibrant images. The stunning High Definition picture is further enhanced by its sleek and modern look. Mitsubishis sleek, simple design provides more picture with less frame. This year even the 73 1080p DLP HDTV gets a thin frame, and a dramatically thinner cabinet. With 1080p and a compact cabinet, get a larger screen and sit closer than ever before! Go ahead and get into the action, immerse yourself…

Lots of connections, made easy. Mitsubishi leads the industry with 3 rear HDMI 1.3 inputs and 2 rear component inputs for maximum HD connectivity. A Front Component Video Input allows you to easily connect an HD game system or other HD component. Additionally, a USB input for up to 5 Mega Pixel pictures connects you to large screen digital photo viewing. And Mitsubishis Easy ConnectTM makes set-up and operation so easy.

Customer Review: Probably the best TV out there for the price, but its got some quirks. The first thing we looked for in a TV was the picture, and mitsubishi really hit the nail on the head there, the colors are beautiful, however quite substantial motion lag is noticed. I liked the picture of the Samsung DLPs more, but they were also considerably more expensive. I have hooked my laptop up to the screen via the PC connection and the picture is AMAZING, but have not tried out the usb input yet. The number of HDMI’s is fine for me.

The interface is pretty good, it is simple to switch between inputs and the sound is OK, but as some other reviewers have said, some fiddling with it is necessary. The fan is quite obnoxious if you are close to the TV, but at a regular sitting distance for this TV(about 15-20 feet) It is not noticeable. I have never been bothered by the sound of the cooling fan other than when I go back behind the TV to connect something. It is quite loud then, and the fan is really quite forceful, it blasts hot air out of the left hand side and kept blowing things off of a shelf we had next to it.

This leads me to question how the TV would operate without the ventilated location it has in my home, and that it might easily overheat. The one thing that I really dislike about this TV is that the bulb burnt out after only 8 months of use. We sent for a new one under its one year warranty and it shipped actually quite quickly. So their customer support was impressive, but I just don’t understand why the bulb on this one doesn’t last. We had another DLP TV before this one and the bulb on on that one never burnt out. I can only hope that the new one doesn’t burn out because by that time it will be out of warranty and these bulbs run for around $250. Yikes!!!

Customer Review: Poor color tuning & a hum I bought this Mitsubishi to replace a smaller Sony HDTV and had it for three days before returning it. There were two problems: First the TV cast a very noticable blue cast on dark colors including people’s hair, walls, and virtually anything dark. There is little black or gray. There are three factory settings for color adjustment: Brilliant the default factory setting, which cast the blue cast, bright, and natural. The best picture is the brilliant, and to get rid of the the blue one has to go to a very dim “natural” picture.

If I wanted to watch a dim picture I could buy a used standard definition TV for virtually nothing. The set has great color controls, but no matter what I did, including lowering the blue drive I could not get rid of the problem. The hum many others have commented on starts out low and after an hour is very noticable. I had no such problems with the Sony, and I also have a Samsung, both of which had no problems like this. I bought a Toshiba 65″ to replace the Mitsubishi, and I could immediately tell the picture was going to be great. Buy at your own risk.

Customer Review: Big Bang Theory
I bought this TV (from SC) because it is simply the best large (65″) flat screen TV for the money. Period. Not without flaws, blacks could be blacker, backlight uniformity could be better, heavy as heck, not the thinnest flat panel of this size… but it has a high end video processor built in, it is very well built, and unless we are talking dark and murky scenes, a terrifically detailed image (as long as the source signal is good) with excellent color rendition.

The screen has a factory calibrated 6500k color temperature setting, but for some crazy reason, it isn’t the factory default. A few of the usual adjustments after chooisng the 6500k setting such as turning the brightness down and adjusting the contrast, football looks fantastic. I chose this TV after considering the Panasonic 65″ 1080p plasma, the Samsung 63″ plasma, and the Sharp 65″ LCD. Since this isn’t in a dedicated home theater, reflections and light pollution are negatives on the plasma side of the equation. The Sharp 65″ was a lot more money and the value equation landed firmly on the side of this Olevia 65″ LCD. After two weeks, I have yet to find a single bad pixel.

After 11 years of working in A/V technology at a university, I can say that finding a few bad pixels is on an LCD display is an all too common occurrence. Olevia obviously means to become a player in the industry and I would say if this TV is an example of their ability to ship a first rate quality product out the door, then they are well on their way to doing so.
