Mitsubishi WD-65831, Drama
*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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, October 19, 2006
So my adventure in building a home theater around the perfect HDTV (for me) started over a year ago when I first saw the Sony 50″ XBR1 in Circuit City. Since then I’ve been on a rampage to find the perfect TV, stand and speaker setup for me and it has finally all arrived and [...]

Friday, October 6, 2006
Well over the last week I’ve done a search almost every day and noticed that almost each day Costco was adding a new TV from the Mitsubishi WD lineup, low and behold, the last TV to be added was the 65831. NOTE: Yesterday and when the TV was added it was listed for $3899.99, I just [...]

Friday, September 29, 2006
‘SupraLB‘ posted some shots recently of his beautiful new WD-65831 on the BDI Deploy Max stand (personally this is the setup I will be gunning for if the XBR2 flops and don’t dazzled consistently across the board, so it was nice to see). The first pictures shows that glare from all the windows in the [...]

Monday, September 25, 2006
Ok guys, a LOT more feedback pouring in on the Mitsubishi WD-57/65831 and I have to say you might as well just forget that post from a few days back where people were having problems, this thread has turned into nothing but praise for the set. Everything from picture quality, to flexibility of card-read, to [...]

Saturday, September 23, 2006
Ok so I finally found a place in town that carries the Mitsubishi WD-65831, Roh’s Electronics “Where we charge you retail, because you are a sucker”. Ok that’s not really their tagline, but it should be. I walked into Roh’s, which actually had a very high end layout/setup. Qualias, Pioneer Elites and the WD-65831. Many listening/viewing [...]

Wednesday, September 20, 2006
After what seemed a stream of endless praise some folks getting the new 65831 sets are starting to notice a few things that are not settling well. The most damning is a few folks noticed after some quick testing major jaggies in images when being sent to the set in 1080i. The concern here is [...]

Tuesday, September 19, 2006
A heated topic on most A/V forums, especially when talking about HD content, is deciding which component should handle upscaling in your chain of components. Which one do you let handle upscaling? Media Device (DVD Player?) Set Top Box? Receiver? TV? Well ‘Smeeg‘ over on AVS put together a hell of a post discussing the steps he took to correct [...]
