Summary: Ultimate pleasure gone sour
Comment: We purchased our Mitsubishi WD-73727 a little over a year ago and couldn't have been happier with the purchase. Fantastic picture- like being at the movies all the time. Then in June of this year (2007)we noticed a halo effect creeping into the shadows of all the programs we were watching. We called for service under the warranty and were assured that the problem would be quickly taken care of. Three service calls and many calls to Mitsubishi later have left us with an unwatchable tv (the picture changes color and jumps all over the screen now) and a lot of broken promises from Mitsubishi. The service company blames Mits for not sending the needed parts and Mits just out and out lies to get us off the phone. We have since learned that there are a great many people with the very same problem as us, all with the same treatment from Mitsubishi. The store where we purchased the set is now dropping the whole line out of customer dissatisfaction and we here in mid-September have an uncertain prognosis for our $5000.00 purchase. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!!!!

Summary: DLP - not the best
Comment: The marketplace is just filled with high-def tv choices nowdays and each choice has its ups and downs. Being a DLP means this set will be affected by the rainbow effect. Still, a really good initial setup should minimize that. I'm impressed by the wide variety of color adjustments this set boasts...rather than simply hue and tint you get individual color adjustments which should make for a very natural display when set up properly. As far as accepting or not accepting 1080p inputs is concerned it's a non-issue right now since the Toshiba HD-DVD decks only put out 1080i and the Samsung Blu-Ray decks downcovert from 1080p to 1080i and then upconvert back to 1080p before sending the signal out...so neither of those devices sends a native 1080p signal out, anyway! Perhaps in a couple of years that will become a real issue, but for now it just isn't. If that is the only thing stopping you from buying this set, REALLY the only thing, then you should probably buy it. It is going to upconvert whatever signal it receives to 1080p and you will see as good a picture from your hi-def dvd player as with any other set on the market since all 1080p is, at present, upconverted.

Summary: Excellent video image, but not small
Comment: This 73" TV has excellent video image. I wasn't able to get any 1080p source material showing on this since I didn't have any, but 1080i and 720p looked absolutely delicious. 73" is really too big (and the set is heavy) for most living rooms, but if you have a dedicated home theater with enough distance from the couch to the wall, this is just fabulous. I'm not a sports fan but I have to admit watching sports on this is quite an exciting experience. I like movies and TV shows, and those with plenty of action sequences are done justice on this set. The price is right for such a gigantic TV, too.

I haven't looked into the HDMI issue a couple other people brought up. I'm putting off getting any next-gen hi-def DVD player until the format war settles.
