wow this is one big tv i have a older 60-inch wd-60735 but my new WD-73737 73-Inch with 120Hz it has a lot nicer picture and sound the menu is better and it has a very nice custom picture setting very nice for getting the look just right looks good in standard deff picture the HD is the best wow i love this tv i dident think this 73-inch would look better than the 60-inch but it looks much better very clear mitsubishi makes the best DLP HDTV you can buy and the replacement lamps are very cheap 100.00 i have had my older 60-inch for 2 and a half years and it is on every day all day long i did replace the lamp once but it was covered under the 2year lamp warranty so it was free i never cleaned the lamp filter that was what killed the first lamp now i know you need to clean it once every other month and its very easy to do and all of the new tv's take the same lamp hope this helps someone who might be thinking abought buying one of Mitsubishi's DLP HDTV'S
When it comes to TVs in the living room, bigger is always better so, when time came to replace our 61" Samsung DLP I had no idea what my next TV was going to be, other than it was going to be bigger and that, of course, I was going to afford it. Mitsubishi's WD-73737 was the easy winner and this is why: - SIZE - well, 73" is bigger than 61", right? As far as I know, there aren't too many LCD or plasma TVs this big, at least not anything that I can afford. Our living room is rather large - it's really most of our first floor (open style architecture) so it helps to have a big screen. Mitsubishi makes an 82" model but I had also to consider... - PRICE - we have a clear winner here. When it comes to price/size ratio, DLP's are by far the least expensive option. - ENERGY EFFICIENCY - according to my research, the WD-73737 burns about 265W when 'on' (this includes the 180W lamp). By comparison, a 70" LCD needs 540-630W to operate. - 3D CAPABILITY - it's a potential plus. Mitsubishi does not guarantee that its TV will be compliant with whatever 3D standard is about to emerge but... it might. Of course, not everything is perfect so, here are the potential 'minuses': - LAMP - when it comes to 'cost of ownership', we must factor in the DLP's lamp. The Mitsubishi manual expects its lamp to last for about one year but our Samsung was still okay after 2 years with the original lamp so, we shall see. A replacement for this model, direct from Mitsubishi is $99 and I will get a free one under warranty if the original needs replacement before one year. Given the great energy savings when compared to an LCD TV, I am not too worried about having to replace the lamp from time to time. - BULK - this set is over 90 lbs. heavy and over 12" at its thickest. Definitely, can't hang it on a wall. Therefore... - STAND - you must have one. We are using the one that came with the old 61" and all is fine but if you don't have one it should set you back a few more hundred bucks. - THE SCREEN - nothing wrong with it but, when compared with our old Samsung, this is just a little more reflective. It's not so to the point of being annoying at night if lights are on in the room but sometimes it is noticeable. Since we already had a stand, didn't want to hang a 73" TV on the wall and the need to replace the lamp was compensated by its energy savings, we went for the WD-73737 without hesitation and we are happy we did. OUR SETUP A TV this size would normally be used in a home theater setting and, it turns out, that's how we use it. We have a satellite TV box, a PS3, dedicated Blu-ray player a 7.1 surround receiver and a Harmony 900 remote. The TV comes with LOTS of inputs, including 3 HDMI but, in our case, the setup started with plugging the TV into the power outlet, connecting the HDMI cable into one of TV's HDMI ports and, since I had the Harmony 900 already configured to handle the TV, that was IT, we were watching TV within 5 minutes of it coming out of the box. Later own, we did some fine tuning but, it turns out, very little had to be adjusted. We made sure that the frame rate was set to 120 fps and, for the rest, we took the recommended settings from the Tweak TV site and didn't have to change too much from what they recommended. We ended up with: Picture Mode: Natural Color Temperature: Low Aspect Ratio: Standard Contrast: 55 Brightness: 36 Color: 31 Tint: 31 Sharpness: 31 Deep Field Imager: Off Super Resolution: Off Sharp Edge: Off Video Noise: Off The end-result is as close to picture-prefect as they come. I have nothing to say about the sound - it can simulate 'surround' with its own speakers - because we are not using it. Same when it comes to channel tuning or setting up 'activities'. These are fully handled by the satellite receiver and the Harmony remote but all the capabilities are there. Same when it comes to the remote which is quite small - a nice thing - but it may take some getting used to when it comes to the buttons size (small) and their layout. WARRANTY On an object this size, this is an important concern so, here's what matters: - The screen is only covered for 30 (THIRTY) days. - The picture quality warranty states that Mitsubishi will fix it if you get less than 99.99% of the pixels right. In other words, you should have at least 9,999 out of 10,000 pixels right. On a 2-million pixel screen this means that if you have up to 199 bad pixels, Mitsubishi is not obligated to fix your TV. - Everything else is covered for one year. - The lamp will be replaced free of charge if it needs replacement within the first year. - Service is provided 'in house' IF you are withing the coverage of an authorized Mitsubishi center. If you're not, you will be responsible for taking your TV there so you better check you are inside a Mitsubishi service area. MY RATING This TV delivers exactly what I wanted and expected: a large, bright, crisp picture that, thanks to the 120 fps display has very little blur on fast moving objects. The drawbacks: need to replace the lamp, unorthodox layout on the remote, bulk are either counterbalanced by other features or did not matter much in my case. Not everyone could live with a TV that's not totally flat or that needs a stand but if the main concerns are picture quality, price, size and energy consumption, this TV is hard to beat. I will grant the WD-73737 5 stars because I own it and I am very happy with it.
I bought this TV to use as a large-screen computer display and for HD TV / home theater use. I'm using it with a Shuttle small-form-factor desktop based on an Intel G33 chipset. This PC has HDMI video/audio output. This TV is excellent for video applications. After making small adjustments to the picture settings, I'm getting a better picture than on a front-projection setup. Brightness, contract, and black levels are good. Colors seem natural and not overly-juiced (a common problem on TVs). I have a hard time recommending it for PC usage. It's unclear if it's possible to get a true :1 pixel mapping (disabling geometry correction in the service menu allegedly does this). Significant overscan (3%+) hides the edges of the Windows desktop. There are slight inconsistencies in focus/geometry that become apparent when using as a computer display. There's no VGA input, and over HDMI, the display doesn't sync in all PC video modes; the 720x480 text mode and HDTV resolutions (1080p) display; other screens during the Windows boot process (640x480 VGA) don't appear at all. If you run Media Center on your HTPC, this TV is fine because Media Center avoids using the edges of the screen. If you do any desktop usage or gaming, think again.
I received my new 73737 DLP TV on December 3, 2009. Delivery persons were helpful in removing TV from the box and placing it on the stand. I researched DLP TV's for several months before buying and without a doubt, the Mitsubishi WD-73737 DLP is the BEST. It is replacing my old 65 inch Mitsubishi DLP that I pruchased in 2003. The picture quality is outstanding on HD channels. For channels not broadcasting in HD, I recommend partial zoom for two reasons, (1) it enhances the qaulity of the picture and (2) probably most important, you eliminate the use of reduction bars (black or gray) on each side of the TV. If you watch DLP TV programs with these bars, it will burn a noticable area where the bars are located after a extended period of time (months). Minor repairs (wiring) were made and my dealer,YOUR DEAL, worked with me promptly and satisfactory. Adjustments using the remote are somewhat difficult in that the controls are so small on the remote, but with a little time, even limited fuctioning persons like myself can obtain a high quality picture that will amaze even the most critical persons. Mitsubishi is the leader in DLP TVs.....period.
I bought this TV last summer. I have nothing but applause for it. We have the Playstation 3 connected and recently watched Public Enemies on Blu-Ray. It is like having the stars in the room. Lifelike images. Pores in skin and hair on face would make you think you could touch and feel the texture. We have also enjoyed playing games, especially wrestling and racing. We did hook ours to theater surround sound for games and movies but use the TV sound for news and non-hi-def and are completely satisfied. We also have a Sharp Aquas 48" in a smaller room, but it cannot come close to the picture definition or sound on the Mitsubishi!
I wanted to wait for a few months before writing a review. After about 4 months, we are very happy with the picture quality in HD, even with the reviews it surpassed my expectations. If your not used to it, even the commercials are amazing to watch in HD on this TV. We used to have a Samsung 61 inch DLP that was about 5 years old. The color wheel went on it and I could have easily replaced the wheel, but I was not pleased with the HD quality on the older TV. After hooking up the new TV, we were all amazed at the difference. There are however 2 things about this TV that kept it from getting 5 stars. The first is that there are not as many inputs as there were on my older Samsung. This surprised me because everyone I know now has a ton of things to plug into the back including DVR's, PS3's, DVD players, Camera's, etc. There is also no input for S-Video, which really annoyed me at first until I found a work around for my video camera. The other area that annoys me with this TV is the volume. If you have not adjusted the volume for a few minutes, when you do, you get an hour glass on the screen for about 3 seconds before the volume then goes up or down. Even with these short comings, I would definitely buy this TV again.
Overall I am very happy. Picture quality, depth, color, brightness are unbeatable to me. Sound quality lacks as in-built speakers are ordinary and low power. You would need external sound system for good affects. Couple of shortcomings that are inherent to DLP to know: 1. Takes 10-60 seconds of warm-up time after power off/on, then slowly brightness grows. 2. Lamp has limited life and needs changing every few years depending on usage. 3. Has no VGA/SVGA port. This is my biggest pain point as my use of computer is growing and I did not realize connectivity will be such a big issue. There are no good SVGA conversion or adapters available off the market. I tried many and they don't work. The only one worked was a VGA to HDMI converter at $50 cost. That too with low resolution defeating the purpose of such a high quality TV. I think every TV these days must have a built-in SVGA port OR they should clearly mention it and recommend solution.
Replaced a 57" Hitachi with this TV. Read and researched for several months. I've seen a LOT of TV's and this one is great. Going up in size makes the difference between having a "big TV" and having real home theater. HD channels on this one are great, even SD channels are good. Not sure what the complaints were about the sound/speakers, but I have no issue with them. I have home theater setup just for movies, and watch "regular TV" thru the TV speakers with no problem. Advice here is to measure your room and get the DIMENSIONS of whatever TV you buy. Most people buy and wish they went bigger. Also affects the height of whatever you put the TV on. I build furniture and used those dimensions to get my stand proper height. Nothing worse then getting a TV and feeling its too small. For the money, this is a GREAT deal. Awesome picture and half the price of plasma. Plenty of features. Pre-wire your components and the delivery setup takes about 5 minutes. If you have the room, this is the way to go for the money. Funny but despite researching for months what finally sold me was a trip to the new Yankee Stadium. Their screen was amazingly crisp for its size. Looked at the bottom and it was a Mitsubishi!
This truly is one of the better deal you can find! I have looked at this and WD-73C9 unit and there were big differences in side by side testing. This one (WD-73737) was much better side by side showing. I am wondering whether this was due to calibration issue or WD-73737 was simply better product than WD-73C9? There were some price differences as well. Does anyone know what's the differences between WD-73737 and WD-93C9? Please help me to understand!
I was going to buy a Mitsubishi 52" with the sound bar but discovered this cost less. Easy install. Great picture and everyone that comes over says the same thing "WOW!" I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Top-Notch service, amazing television, great price...just overall WOW! Deep, perfect color reproduction, great motion processing, and the sheer size of this television just blows you away - I am still in shock - LOVE IT! Thank-you Amazon - free shipping, no tax, and an absolutely wonderful product - can't miss!
We just got the TV today and it is 73 inches of perfection!! Not one complaint, easy to hook up and hook PS3, XBox 360, DVR etc. to. Was also delivered earlier than estimated. Great buy for the money!!!
Just bought a 73" 737series a couple of weeks ago. Was considering 65" but went with the 73" - GREAT Decision. The picture is fantastic - even my wife who isn't into TV very much thinks it is great. The price of the replacement lamp is not significant every 2 - 3 years when you consider the quality and price of this TV. If you have the room for it I highly recomend this TV - Great value.
More than I expected. Hooked up very easy. Picture quality is outstanding. Has three HDMI inputs for components, although I am connecting through a Yamaha RX-V765 A/V receiver. I also have Dish TV DVR, Blu Ray and DVD recorder connected to the Yamaha with one HDMI output to the TV. Works great! Better than going to the theatre.
I'm lazy, so this will be short. The picture is amazing on HD! I have DirecTV with HD and am just blown away. SD channels are fine, but when stretched are noticeably 'fuzzy'. This is not a TV issue though, I've seen the same on my 42" HD. It just becomes much more apparent at 73". I like the different adjustments for each input, it's come in handy. I don't use the speakers, but did try them out and they were adequate (who would buy this TV without a home theater sound system?). Anyway, shipping was very fast and delivered to my garage (as requested). I'm very pleased with my first online purchase of this SIZE. I've spent more, but never bought something this massive. This review was written after two weeks of use.
