Mitsubishi WD-65736 65-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV User Review

This is a fantastic TV. I purchased mine from OneCall, who got it to my house in 3 days. The television arrives in typical packaging: a box-over-crate with styrofoam padding. Even with the crate, the television is light and easy to manage, if not just slightly awkward due to it’s sheer size. After un-boxing and removing the protective sheet foam from the television itself, you’ll inevitably wonder, “Was my wife right… IS it too big?” Don’t worry, that thought passes as quickly as it came. There really is no such thing as too big for TVs, after all.

Out of the box, the picture is great. Most people will probably be satisfied with the picture, but will mess with the controls just because they can. After calibration, though, it’s stunning. The available controls in the user and service menu allow for an almost perfect calibration session. There was a very small compromise when it came to tint (the 835 series has PerfectTint, so if you’re looking for perfection and don’t mind paying a premium for a difference you won’t really notice, you should look at that series), but otherwise it’s as close to spec as possible.

For HTPC owners, take note that there is no DVI connection, so be sure your video card has an HDMI out or that you pick up a DVI-HDMI adapter. Other than that, it has all the connections you’ll need. The NetCommand IR works well with my IR components, including the DirecTV HD DVR. Although, it is a little slow. The slight reduction in button response is well worth not having to have an extra remote laying around and I have the added bonus of hiding all of my components. The two included IR emitters can control multiple devices. The television also has NetCommand HDMI, but I don’t have any devices capable of utilizing it.

My only complaint with this Mitsubishi is the included remote is poorly designed. Don’t get me wrong, it works well. It’s just clunky, ugly, and as ergonomic as a brick. The button layout is far from intuitive… it’s backwards from most of the remotes I use. All my other remotes have channel numbers on the bottom, television controls (up, down, left, right, menu, volume, etc) in the middle, and player controls (play, rw, ff, stop, etc) on the top. This one is numbers on the top, television controls in the middle, and player controls on the bottom.

All in all, remote aside, this is the TV you should buy if you’re not caught up in the fad of paying 4 times more for the same size screen or paying the same for a 4 times smaller screen simply because you can hang it on the wall. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the television. Well, if it had a built in beer keg…
