CES: Mitsubishi Laser-Based TVs Looking Beautiful
Giz is reporting that Mitsubishi’s upcoming laser-based RPTVs are looking pretty awesome with some of the most vibrant colors and deepest blacks they’ve seen. Giz also has some good shots of the TV from the side, and it looks about the same depth of some of the thinner RPTVs out there (maybe about 14-16″ deep?) Mits [...]
Continue reading...JD Power HDTV Awards
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Winners are: Sony BRAVIA: LCD Category Pioneer: Plasma Category Samsung: DLP Category I’d say my additions to that list are: Sharp AQUOS: LCD Category Panasonic: Plasma Category Mitsubishi/Sony: DLP Category Keeping in mind that the JD Power and Associates award is based on usage and user satisfaction ratings as they responded to the survey. So these are good things. Sort of like a [...]

Tuesday, May 1, 2007
Readers of the blog first started reporting the problem in this thread. I didn’t think too much of it at the time, but now I’m on the 4th day of my TV turning itself off because of “Air Flow”. Following my First Incident with getting a replacement and now this White Blooming issue going on I’m [...]

Monday, April 30, 2007
Uh oh. A poster here named Andy pointed me to a thread over on AVS where some Mitsubishi WD-XX732/831 owners are reporting “white bleed” or “blooming” problems with the Mits light engine. Some of the users have replaced their light engines multiple times already and our friend Andy already had his replaced once before and [...]

Sunday, April 29, 2007
I’ve been tweaking my WD-65831 for about an hour and I think I’ve come up with a configuration that looks really good to me, no garuntees that you will like it. In fact it’s quite a bit different than some of the other one’s I’ve seen people post. Disclaimer: I always thought the defaults that this [...]

Saturday, April 28, 2007
A long time reader, Gordon Walter, sent along information that the Mitsubishi WD-65831 has been reviewed over at Ultimate AV (months after it’s been out now) and is still raking in the praise for it’s HD picture. After having this TV for quite a few months (the shot above is of standard-def Dr. Phil) now I [...]
Continue reading...Don’t Clean Your HDTV Screen with Windex / Glass Cleaner
Thursday, March 29, 2007
So you’ve heard the techies say to you for years now, but you never understood why (that goes for me to): “Don’t use Windex or anything else to clean your HDTV screen!” I really wish there were a warning somewhere prominent on the box… how’s this for a warning on a $4k TV: What you are [...]

Friday, January 5, 2007
Woot! Looks like the Mitsubishi WD-65831 is the highest rated HDTV on CNET Reviews. That includes comparisons to other sets like LCDs, Plasmas and LCoS sets. I do have to say after owning this TV for a few months now, it’s fantastic. I’m not the biggest fan of the Dark Detailer, but the edge enhancement is [...]

Friday, November 10, 2006
Well the replacement set got here and the delivery guys swapped it out. I played Gears of War on the set for 3 hours then we watched Star Wars IV (from 1977) and I could not believe how GOOD this movie looked with the Deep Field Imager turned on along with the Edge Enhancer turned [...]
Continue reading...Suggested SD/HD Device Input Configuration
Monday, October 30, 2006
I recently found myself in an interesting situation. When I first got the Mitsubishi WD-65831 I thought it had too many inputs, especially HDMI. Now that I’m starting to look at more HD devices I’m running into the problem that my A/V receiver does not have any HDMI switching on it, and I seem to [...]

Monday, October 30, 2006
Ok so I just re-placed another order for a replacement Mits. After talking to 3 different Costco customer service reps (trying to get a different story) I finally accepted their story: Replacements are not treated specially they basically consists of you returning the item then returning it online. You can return it to any warehouse [...]

Thursday, October 26, 2006
*sigh* I don’t know how closely you guys have been following my ongoing TV drama but after putting in the replacement bulb and realizing that the set is screwed up, not the bulb, I’m pooped. I can’t trouble shoot this stupid thing anymore. To recap, this is what is happening: Watch TV Turn off TV Try and turn on [...]

Tuesday, October 24, 2006
So I fired up the Mitsubishi WD-65831 to try out the TV Guide after a friend asked me to check it out and blammo… no picture. I thought the TV was taking a long time to warm up, turns out the bulb is dead. (Probably 3 hours of TV on it). I called the 800 number [...]

Thursday, October 19, 2006
A while ago my buddy got a WD-57732 and hasn’t had many good things to say about it when watching standard definition or playing his PS2. After getting my set and hooking it up, I’m amazed how good the SD looks, here are some comparison shots: Mitsubishi WD-57732 SD Mitsubishi WD-65831 SD No idea what [...]
Continue reading...Mitsubishi WD-65831, Harmony 720 and HDMI Input Switching
Thursday, October 19, 2006
A quick quirk you Mitsubishi owners out there might be aware of is that your Harmony remotes don’t handle input switching on the new WD sets well for some inputs (namely the HDMI ones), the reason for my set (WD-65831) was that I had to rename my single HDMI input to “HDMI-1″ and add another [...]
