Summary: Incredible
Comment: I'm completely happy with this purchase. The picture is absolutely stunning and incredible. I dont know how some of these peeps hear the "noise" cause I have never heard it. Most of my friends have Plasmas or LCD's and they love mine better. Remember this TV has 2 MILLION pixels. NOTHING on the market comes close, and for the money and size of the screen, you cant beat it. I purchased an extended warranty so I am covered. LOVE THIS TV!!

Summary: An excellent TV at a great price
Comment: We've been really trying to buy a large-screen TV for 3-4-years but anything that had a good picture was hideously expensive and anything that was affordable had a serious drawback. We finally got one, and it's the Mitsubishi WD65734, a DLP, thin-frame, 65-inch, 1080p TV. We looked at TV pictures over and over and over again in stores, read user reviews, and this one looked great but some people complained of the projection bulb burning out frequently (they are supposed to last about 5,000-hours) and a noisy fan. We've only had ours a short time so can't comment on bulb life yet, but most user ratings did not report a problem and hey, that's what the service contract is for. The fan is not noisy, one can hear it with the set off during cool-down but otherwise not an issue. The picture is lush, detailed, crisp, and bright. No DLP "rainbow". Off-angle viewing, while not as good as a plasma, is good side-to-side, and more limited but still good up-and-down. The user manual is amazingly clear and easy to use. We view broadcast TV using an attic antenna, analog stations are grainy but digital ones are great. We also have a Blu-Ray DVD player and Blu-Ray disks let this TV show its stuff, actually better than a real movie theater.

The built-in speakers are survivable if you must but I would recommend an add-on sound system, at the very least a stereo (2-speaker) system but more typically a 5.1 surround-sound home theater system. Note that many such sound systems advertise tons of watts but lousy, audible distortion (on the order of 10% THD = Total Harmonic Distorion), while others, such as the Onkyo unit we got, have more normal and inaudible 0.1% THD and are true sound systems.

We shopped all over, found some slightly better prices from places that we would prefer to not buy from, wound up buying the TV via Amazon itself, got a very good price, free shipping, and the folks who delivered it did a great job of bringing it in and doing basic set-up.

We are VERY pleased. There's a newer model available, variously reported as the ...735 or ...736, but I have no idea what additional improvements or features it might offer. We're happy with the ...734 series, which enjoys a noticeably better picture (sharper, deeper blacks and colors, etc.) compared to the ...733 series.

Note that we purchased directly from Amazon, it may be sourced via other parties (Amazon partners) now, but the TV is super and the delivery service, EGL (= Eagle?? Local truck but paperwork has Houston, TX HQ) did a great job of carefully delivering it and setting it up.

Summary: Everything I wanted and more
Comment: I'm not a techno guy, but here's my assessment from a normal beer-drinking sports watcher... This set was supposed to have fan noise as one if it's biggest drawbacks. I don't hear anything. My only complaint is the built-in speakers are really bad. If you don't have a home theater system, you may want to check the sound on some of the others. The picture is better than I could have imagined. I've been staring at the pictures in the store, and I have two other 32 HD TVs, but when I got it home and sat down to watch it, it has changed my whole TV experience. I almost cried when I watched my first HD sporting event. Seeing HD in thisFor the price, I still can't believe it. My friend has this TV and a Pioneer Elite and prefers the DLP. I think I have something set up wrong though, because when I change channels and it's not the same format, it takes up to 5 seconds to change formats and get a picture. It's worth the wait though, until I figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Summary: couldnt be happier
Comment: i am very happy with this tv for a few reasons. one, the price was fantastic. on a $ per inch basis...i dont think you can get any better. two, the shipping was fantastic. i live in alaska, so thats ALWAYS a concern...and i happened to come across a free shipping deal. the free shipping got the TV to seattle, but i still had to have it shipped by barge up to alaska. so for a total of $63, i got a 100 pound, 65 inch tv shipped from the east coast, all the way to me in alaska. not bad at all.

after doing a little research on DLP TVs, im happy i chose this one. DLP is basically free of moving parts. unless its jarred or dropped, the only thing that will eventually "break" is the lamp, which can easily be replaced, thus giving you the equivelent of a brand new tv.

the tv looks great, very simple, not showy. its very light...2 people can move it without any effort. remote is decent...speakers arent so hot, but then again, what built in's are?
