 After a Month January 6, 2009

My Brother owns the 73" version of this television, and I've been very impressed with that. Having slightly less room, I decided to go with the 60", in addition for cost reasons.
This type of Display is unique in that, if you go to a store and look at them in daylight, in a brightly lit store, with LCD's and Plazma's all around, you'll think nobody would want a TV like this. It's not as bright, it's 'softer'. Once you get one of these in your home, and don't have these other overly bright displays clouding your judgement, you'll find viewing on a DLP VASTLY superior to a flickery LCD or HotWax looking Plazma. The picture is so natural and smooth, it's incredible. Colors are so spot on, it's amazing. And, I think, while a DLP isn't as bright, it does a lot nicer job in dark passages than will an LCD.
I do not notice any shimmering on this TV as I do on LCD. I'm a bit sensitive to that and watching one of my own BRay movies at a friends house on a 52" LCD with a PS3 player, I can honestly say, any hint of buyers remorse vanished when I saw his new display. (which cost more than twice as much btw). Tonight in fact, his PS3 is coming to play back on my TV so we'll see how that works out. I'm interested to see if there's jitter on my TV with it. I use a Home Theater PC for playback and DVI-HDMI for video. I have no issues whatsoever. I think I prefer the color representation from the PC better than standalone players.
Long term (marathon movie sessions) on this display are not fatiguing at all to my eyes, like other much brighter displays. Very short periods of looking at an LCD give me serious eye fatigue. Not to mention, they're so small! With Plazma especially, I find myself spending more time watching the TV, than I do the movie that's being played on it. With the DLP, it's like after the first few seconds, the TV isn't there and all you see is the picture. I think of it more like being IN the movie, rather than outside it. It's hard to explain and you won't see this in a store.
Cons:
This sort of display has reduced angle viewing vs a LCD or Plazma. It is not a great choice for brightly lit rooms or severe off angle viewing. It's also sensitive to vertical angle changes, even more so than side to side. Height is critical when viewing this sort of display if you intend to be very close, which I am in my setup. I view from only 9-10 feet. Even at that distance, I can clearly see brightness change when sitting vs standing. This isn't an issue to me because I just don't care. I like my big screen.
If my 9-10feet seems too close, it isn't. I know that I could easily enjoy a 100" screen at this distance. The TV is not too large.
As long as you're distant from the TV, viewing height will not be an issue. As a theater piece, it will be important to set the height correctly for your viewing position if you want the most vibrant picture. The 735 series has no front HDMI, though I don't care in my situation. If that's a must for you, go to the 736 or higher.
As a PC display, I like this TV, but, there are some handicaps that must be addresed with video card drivers if you are really fussy about filling in the edges of the screen perfectly. Some setup is required. It's not troublesome, but, is a bit tricky unless you visit some forums and ask folks how to set things up. This isn't a TV issue really. As for PC Monitor use, really, I don't think any display is perfect. For reading small text, it's just not likely that anyone will use their LCD, DLP or Plazma for this purpose. Not and like it anyhow. The TV is just too far away for text viewing. I run 120DPI in windows, and also 150% text in browser. Like that, it's useable. I still would not say ideal for long term everyday use.
Other Thoughts:
PC / Console Gaming on this thing is simply outstanding. Don't forget, with a DLP, you get to purchase the wireless LCD Glasses and play games like Call of Duty4 in 3D. These are not the red/blue filter glasses, these are active and actually have an interface to the television. This is a major plus on Samsung and Mitsubishi DLP Televisions. Also, the fact that DLP does not "Burn In" is another plus.
Running an all black desktop in Windows I'm told is an issue because that is sending all the lamp power to the light dump instead of to the screen. I'm not sure if that causes a heat issue or not, but I tend to keep mine displaying a light color all the time, so as to keep the heat to a minimum.
Since I am primarily a movie watcher, PC gamer, all other aspects of the TV are pretty much secondary to me. For those people who complain about the possibility of needing a new bulb, or that it will become a cost issue over time, I say this. First, at this time, straight from Mits, a new bulb is less than 100 bucks. If I bought 10 spares today, I'd still have less money in my TV than my friend has in his LCD that's almost a foot smaller. Also, I genuinly like mine better. Bulbs for these are not the $250 they were for units years ago. My brother had his last projection TV for 10 years and never put a bulb in. His unit now is over 2000 hours and still looks like new. If it costs me $100 a year to keep this TV refreshed and looking new, then so be it. Keeping a spare bulb on hand is probably a good idea if missing a few days viewing might be a problem.
Final thought. If I were to be forced to choose a different display and display type to replace this unit right now, it would be a DLP Front Projector. I am so pleased with this television, I almost secretly hope it dies shortly out of warranty, just so I can justify getting a projector. Even if it does not, I'll also have a projector within the next 2 years. I would never have guessed that after a month of viewing, this TV would look small enough that I wish for something 4 times this big. Especially in the rather small house, and small rooms I've got to view in. In 25 years of making household purchases, I have never been so happy with a consumer electronics purchase, as I am with this one.
Wow what a picture! December 24, 2008

Very happy with this purchase, looks so good that it's easy to spend a lot of time in front of this TV! And 60" HD for the price, I can buy a few bulbs and still be way ahead of, the game of economics. The picture looks real good at 480i (dishnetwork std transmission) but looks super with there HD package .... The sound on the set is fine for my three sons and I, although I prefer to use the stereo reciever with the room surround sound. But I often find my youngsters using the TV volume and it sounds just fine.
 Well worth the investment December 15, 2008

I've had the 60735 for about 3 weeks now and I am very happy. Setup was very easy and the picture is fantastic in HD. Standard definition picture quality is just acceptable, but that's expected when comparing to 1080p. Hooked up our Wii and it looks great too. The sound volume is a little weak, but the quality is good.
The only negative is that you get some very mild "rainbow effect" when watching videos with lots of whites and blacks, but that goes for any single chip DLP. If it wasn't for this, I'd have given 5 stars.
I got mine from Best Buy for $999 which is a great price for a TV of this size and quality.
The best deal ever December 12, 2008

We priced TV's everywhere. This was cheaper and easier to have it arrive at the house with ease.

I had a Hitachi projection TV that after 6 years broke and the repair cost did not justify repairing it. I had my heart set on a 50 inch LCD full HD but after my 9yr old nephew destroyed a neighbors brand new LD LCD, my wife insisted on another projection since our 2 year old son enjoys throwing things at the screen as well. After looking at all the sets out there we decided on the 60 inch dlp. I have to say that the picture quality along with the large screen and the cost. I am please beyond words and am not missing the LCD. go figure!
