Best bang for the buck! December 31, 2008
Frank S. Mize (Wichita, KS United States)
I took delivery of this model just before Christmas, and it is working and looking great! You do have to be careful in the setup routine to get the proper aspect ratio for your movies. After I figured that out, I haven't had any trouble. I had Fire Dog out to tune the system, and they did a terrific job. Color is exceptional, and depth is great. Blu rays really come to life. In all honesty, I think the average guy would be crazy to buy an LCD or Plasma of this size. I bought a floor model for $1600, but you can buy them new very close to that. That's about 20% or even less of the cost of an LCD. This is my second DLP screen, and have never had any trouble with either. And one last thing, size really does matter! I can see things in old movies I've never seen before! I highly recommend this model.
I'd give it 6 stars if I could. December 28, 2008

This is the best TV I have ever seen. I have had it for about a month and I am still in awe over the picture quality. The size is perfect for my viewing area.
I had a Pan 60" LCD rear projection for 3 years and it was nice but I wanted a little newer technology and larger screen. I knew when I bought the Pan that it did not have true black and I was having difficulty viewing darker movies. No problem here with the Mitsubishi.
I bought this from the Big Screen Store and my experience was excellent from the salesman to the delivery crew. I felt I got a good deal and even with the extended warranty it was still a $100 cheaper than what I paid for the Panasonic 3 years ago.
Today I really feel I have, at home, a Theater experience. With my Panasonic Blu Ray I can't imagine having any better movie viewing experience than this.
Like previous reviewers I have not felt the need to fiddle with the picture adjustments other than the quick adustments from Brilliant, Bright and Natural.
Another feature I really like is the Net Comand. This feature is very cool. When I make any changes to the input the TV makes changes to the receiver all through the HDMI. Even when viewing TV, I can put in a DVD into the Bluray player and once the player begins reading the disc the Mitsubishi will automatically change the input and also changes the output on my Onkyo receiver. It takes quite a few seconds to complete this process but that is tolerable just for the coolness alone. And when I am done watching a disc and switch the TV input the Mitsubishi will actually power off the Bluray player.
Right now I can't think of anything negative about this TV. If I think of something I will update later.
only one problem with this tv. December 27, 2008

the only problem with this tv is that if you go out to a sports bar or something to watch the football game after having this tv in you living room you will always be thinking my tv at home is bigger and clearer and the beer is cheaper. also when you go watch movies at friends houses with a 42" or 47" (witch 2 yrs ago i would have made a deal with the devil to get one.) you think "this picture is the size of your picture in a picture."as it is abought the size you see when you use your cable tv guide. in closing its HUGE and CLEAR. add a 7.1 surround sound and you have one awesome theater. you wont even want to go to old movie theaters as this picture can only be beat by the newest movie theaters out there most theaters are not as crisp. one more problem ..... now i want ONE more.
Incredible Value December 21, 2008

I had been looking at getting a new RPTV to replace my aging 2001 65" Mitsubishi CRT set and finally decided to pull the trigger. Lots of research (majority of owners have been pleased to ecstatic over their purchase of this year's 60", 65" and 73" displays) continued to bring me back to Mits, and after going to Fry's and seeing this set in person, I was sold.
The price offered on Amazon was fantastic, along with the free shipping. I had never purchased an item this big (or fragile) over the net, but buying from Amazon allayed those fears as I knew if anything went awry that Amazon would make it good. The set arrived sooner than predicted by Amazon, and was in perfect shape. The driver and I unpacked it and he helped me carry it in. Plugged it in, made sure it worked and we were good to go - any issues now were Mitsubishi's just as though I had bought it from a B&M.
I've had the set for about six weeks now and it has been great. The jump up in size from a 65" to the 73" was nice but not overwhelming. The set is very tweak-able from a picture quality perspective. Although it was good out of the box I was able to improve the picture with calibration disks.
The value for the $$$ on this set knocks me out. For the life of me, I can't understand why more people don't buy these rear projection sets but would rather pay more for less when buying Plasma or LCD displays. If you are not going to mount your set on the wall, why obsess over thin? To be honest, this set isn't that deep and it looks less imposing in the room than my old 65" did.
Anyway, this is a 5 star set and a 5 star experience as far as I'm concerned. If you want the most bang for your TV buck, the Mitsubishi rear projectors are hard to beat.
Cheers
THIS 73" DLP MITSUBISHI TV IS BREATHTAKING ! December 3, 2008

My husband and I bought the 73" 2007 version of this Mitsubishi TV in October '07 from our favorite retailer, AMAZON. We already had a 50" Mitsubishi which never needed a repair in the 13 years we owned it. So we only wanted the Mitsubishi brand name. Now that it's been over a year, this 73" DLP is a glorious picuture to behold, and no problems or glitches. There is no difference between the DLP and the LCD picture quality! The HD channel broadcasts are SPARKLING, and the DVD movies look like they're on a big movie screen.
We got ours with the 73" matching base thrown in for free. However, the price is lower this year for this tv, so even if you have to buy the base you still come out with a price only about $100 higher than we paid for ours last year. Don't put off buying this tv since due to the bad economy you may not get a better deal in the future. If you have just a minimal space in your family or rec room, then this thin space-saving 73" tv will fit in just fine. The white glove delivery service was also superb. The delivery men set up the tv for cable and were very helpful in answering all our questions. We can't thank Amazon enough for the fantastic deal they gave us!
