Well I just bought this tv to be watch some 3d movies with my Sony blu ray. I was worried it wouldnt have as good a picture as an lcd but this looks awesome. It plays 3d movies great and they pop right out in your face. If you dont want to pay 2 or 3 thousand dollars to get an lcd this tv is perfect for you. Now after watching this Id rather have it than an overpriced lcd anyway.
I am extremely pleased with this TV. It has an absolutely beautiful picture that is much much more natural than that of a pixel-ated (I think I just made up that word) LCD or a glassy Plasma. Don’t get me wrong, I do also like the picture produced by LCD and Plasma TVs, but at the same time you will not find either of those at a 60″ size (or above) for under 1,000$…especially with 24p HD viewing and 120hz refresh. That is why this TV is such an excellent value…you get loads of viewing features standard, along with a HUGE viewing size, for a great price.
PROS: 1) the extremely natural picture (after some tweeking of course) 2) the on board speakers are actually pretty good, although I still connected it to my Klipsch surround sound (another highly recommended brand) 3) the automatic connectivity theme makes it very easy to connect and change inputs 4) it’s very easy to setup and get the colors right (use the perfectcolor feature) 5) although the screen is huge, while watching shows in HD or Blurays the TV doesn’t miss a single pixel, the picture stays smooth and natural (the color is very deep and thorough, but make sure you tweek it right, which is easy to do). Even basic SDTV looks pretty good compared to comparable LCD and Plasma competitors.
CONS: 1) THE REMOTE SUCKS (I hate everything about it except the fact that it lights up when pressed) 2) The viewing angle is pretty narrow if you want to keep the picture and color in complete focus. The TV likes to be viewed straight on with a minimum of about 8 feet between you and the TV (although you can see it pretty good at angles that aren’t too extreme) 3) it easily catches reflections from lights, windows etc. on it’s plexi-screen (although Plasmas do the same thing, in my opinion to a worse amount)4) there is a lack of some inputs (aka S-video) but you can easily buy adapters.
ON A SEPARATE NOTE: After having this TV for a few months the input on HDMI 1 started flickering pretty bad. I figured it was my HDMI cable and so I bought another. It did the same thing after a week. So I plugged my original cable into the HDMI 2 input and it worked fine. It seems my HDMI 1 connection is slowing dying on me. I didn’t dock any stars for this though because I bought the TV from a man who bought it new and used it 1 month before selling it to me due to lack of finances. Knowing him, I’d say it was probably his fault the connection is shorting out (I checked blogs and haven’t found any other problems along this line). He probably tried to connect a USB cable into the HDMI input or something studpid like that. Anyway, I only need 2 HDMI inputs anyway so everything worked out fine…there wasn’t any reason to dock any stars
OVERALL: This TV is easily the best buy for ANY set under 1,000$…and I’d say even up to 1,200-1,300$. If you have the ample wall space to allow this huge set to sit, I guarantee you won’t be dissapointed.
I was a little hesitant to purchase a product like this over the internet without having seen it but I decided to try it based on the reviews–and I was not disappointed. If you don’t need the depth of the flat panel, this DLP in only slightly wider and, in my case, this did not matter. The picture quality in 1080p was excellent. Makes me wonder why anyone would spend 2-3X this amount for a flat panel? It also was surprising light and easy to move around (like 70 lbs). Good product at a great price.
I just received this perticular
tv and I was very interrested in the 3D capability.
I got the starter packet and at first I was gonna send it back, but after I wired it the right way. WOW!!! It’s really Deep. The color is excellent and the 3D was just like in the movie’s.
My wife thinks im nuts, cause she spends her time up stairs on the Samsung and Im down stairs on the very colorful Mitsubishi 60″. I looked at the 3D ocean’s and Sea’s and its so good I spent hours looking at it.
Now I need to get a blu-Ray Player so I can look at other DVD’s in 3D. I highly recommend this TV. You have to invest in a 3D starter kit for the 3D but its worth it…
Oh Yeah. Its very light weight. The shipping company in Michigan was very good and made sure the TV not only worked but no scratches or defects on it.
I was skeptic at first ordering over the intranet but, Ive gotten very good products from Amazon.com with out any defects or problems.
I was looking for a TV for the basement to watch sports and movies. I did a lot of reaearch on the different technologies now availble and found the Mitsubishi 60″ to be the best bang for the buck. You really have to spend almost double to get a better TV than this one. I am very impressed with the picture, it is sharp, clear, and bright. I have not noticed any blurring effects which can be typical with LCD tvs. The audio is ok but I run everything through a home theatre system so I never use the Tv’s internal speakers. There are plenty of inputs for components.
I order the unit on a Thurday and it arrived the following Friday (so about a week delivery time) which I though was pretty fast. I highly recomend this TV for any looking for a large screen and doesn’t want to pay an arm and a leg to get one.
