TV's. It has a very thin frame and is only approximately 54 inches wide, weighs about 60-65 lbs (much lighter than plasma TV's like the Pioneer Kuro I had been looking at, which weighs about twice as much) and fits on a new entertainment unit designed for LCDs and plasmas that I recently bought, which is only 16 inches deep (the TV itself is about 15 inches deep). Given the cheap price, I also paid $299 for the Best Buy Black Tie warranty, which covers this TV for four years. All in all, this doesn't represent the latest technology and isn't wall mountable, but if you do not care about that and are looking for a high quality larger screen picture at a very competitive price, I would give this set a look.

services. So, back to customer service. Again. This time after going through the menu & getting the normal level 1 technican, I was finally transferred to the Mitsubishi corporate office, and was put in touch with a gentleman named Mike. Mike was kind enough to get in touch with the Mitsubishi authorized service dealer and explain to them that, being an authorized Mitsubishi service dealer & the TV being under warranty, that they would in fact be paid for their services. At this point there was a glimmer of hope. Or maybe not. The service technician arrived at my place on Friday, 6/19. Great guy, prompt, very informative, did everything he could...same result. No picture. Mike happened to call while the service tech was at my residence, and he spoke to both the technician and myself. We all agreed that the TV was defective and new parts would be ordered on Monday. Mike also assured me he would call on Monday, 6/22 and inform me of the progress, confirm that the parts had been shipped, and give me an estimate of when I might have a working TV. Monday came around, no call from Mike. So, I got back on the phone with Mitsubishi. The woman I spoke with informed me that we needed to wait until Tuesday to see if the parts had been ordered & shipped, and that I would receive a call. Tuesday...no call. So, back on the phone. Pretty much the same thing, not sure if parts had been ordered or shipped, we'll get a hold of you on Wednesday. Wednesday...no call. Back on the phone. This time I was informed that Mike was out of the office, but I was told that the parts had been shipped...on 6/23. I asked whether they had sent them overnight, the answer was no. Apparently a cost saving measure on the part of Mitsubishi. The best guess that they could give me was that the parts would arrive to the service provider on Monday, 6/29 or Tuesday, 6/30. At that point the service provider would schedule another appointment to come out. So, maybe sometime the week of 6/29...a full 18 days after the date of purchase. I did some more inquiring, and found out a few more gems of information that future Mitsubishi buyers might not be aware of. 1. If you are shipped a defective TV, Mitsubishi will first try to repair it. 2. If the first repair (ie, replacement parts are defective as well or the problem was inadequately diagnosed), Mitsubishi will then schedule a 2nd repair. Repeat process. 3. Only after 2 unsuccessful attempts to repair will a new TV be shipped out from the manufacturer. That being said, it's looking like I will not have a working TV for a good month after purchase, and if this repair attempt doesn't work, it's quite possible that it may be another month after that. I asked Mitsubishi if this was standard procedure as opposed to just shipping out a new TV. It is under warranty, right? They said it was. I asked why, and was informed that it is more cost effective to do it this way. Well, of course it is...for Mitsubishi. It would have also been more cost effective for me had I purchased a refurbished TV in the first place. Unfortunately, I bought a new one, but will end up with a repaired TV before even getting a chance to turn it on. From what I understand from other reviews, it's a great TV when it works. I wouldn't know at this point. It looks really nice...black and shiny, but if I wanted a 60" table top ornament for my den that does nothing other than sit there, I probably would have taken a less expensive route. I have purchased Mitsubishi products before, and have generally been satisfied. However, after this ordeal, never again. I'm hoping that my experience isn't common. However, those of you thinking of purchasing this or any other TV from Mitusbishi, please take into account of what you can expect if you are shipped defective merchandise.

believe our eyes!! The Disney-Pixar movies looked stunning, we watched TAKEN and it was AWESOME.
Honestly, there are NO faults with this DLP. We wanted to get the 65" version, but it was just a little too big for our living room. The 60" is PERFECT for us. The features on this TV are endless, the picture is darn near perfect "out of the box", Blu-Ray makes this DLP TV really SHINE!!
This TV is awesome, no complaints (how could you complain getting one for $995??). Go get this DLP.....you will love it!! (Don't forget a Blu-Ray player!!)

set than the older DLP. Better upscaling tech (Plush1080) no doubt. Setup was a snap, and the new device menu only shows me what inputs are actually attached rather than making me scroll through all the possibilities like the old model did.

I also really love the fact that when you turn this TV off, it blanks the screen. . .but for the first 60 seconds it is still really in a standby mode ready to leap back to life in a second or so. If you own one of the older DLPs you know how nice that feature is --either you hit the wrong button, or a cat stepped on the remote, or you just changed your mind; whatever. . . now it doesn't need to be a 30 second process to get back to watching TV.

Our 2004 weighs 165lbs (which at the time we considered to be a wonderful upgrade over the nearly 300lb CRT RPTV it was replacing). This 2009 weighs 64lbs! Pretty much you only need two people to carry it because of the size, not the weight!

Seriously, if you really like BIG screen TVs and have the room for it, there is nothing that can touch the value of these new Mits DLPs while still providing excellent picture quality.

Now the bad news, which isn't so terrible. The onboard sound is lousy. Well, onboard sound is *always* lousy. This is what keeps home theater sales going. Also, the remote is relatively hideous --small, no backlight, uncomfortable menu buttons, and not terribly intuitive to find things like the "Format" button which get used a lot. Invest in a nice programmable remote.

Lastly, I wasn't terribly impressed with the speed of changing digital channels using the OTA tuner. If you are hooked up to cable or satellite, this won't be an issue for you. If you are hooked up to an antenna, I found it took a little over 3 seconds to go from one digital channel to the next. That's slower than that 3 yr old Sony we just gave away to our niece.

But, overall, I am *very* impressed with this Mits DLP at the price (the 2004 62" Mits I mentioned upstream set us back $3,000) and wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it to anyone, particularly those who really appreciate what a BIG screen brings to the TV/movie watching experience.
