| This is our 4th HDTV since 2001. We sold the first one (a Mits CRT RPTV) before making a cross-country move in 2004, the second is a first gen 2004 Mits 720p DLP still in service with us, the third is a 42" Sony LCD 720p from 2005/6 that recently went to a niece as a college grad present, and now this Mits 6th gen 1080p DLP (replacing the Sony).
Wow, how much better and more reasonably priced HDTVs have gotten since 2001! Really, rejoice over that fact. Even comparing this new WD-60737 to our 62" 2004 Mits WD-62725 is quite the eye opener in how far things have come, while getting a lot cheaper on the way. The picture on this new Mits is much brighter (and, yes, we've had the mirrors on the old one cleaned and the bulb replaced) and with much better contrast. 1080p vs 720p, of course. Also a much more refined and mature bag of processing techniques (Smooth120hz, Deep Field Imager, etc) to improve the picture. SD pictures, particularly SD digital, definitely look nicer to me on this 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. Yes, this set still has the inherent limitations of DLP. If your setup and regular viewers require that people will need to watch the set from severe angles to right or left or below (like laying on the floor directly in front of the set) on a regular basis, then DLP is probably not your best choice --go look at plasmas. The viewing angles on this set are definitely better to the sides than our 2004 DLP, but at severe angles (say > 60% off center) it definitely dims. And "close below" like laying on the floor two feet away is just bad. However, if that doesn't describe your viewers, and for most families it wouldn't, then you will be fine. 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. |

| I've had this TV for about a month now and it is very nice. The HD channels are terrific. The TV is super light, especially for the size of it. I was a Vizio guy (getting the most out of my dollar) but I have to say Mitsubushi DLP technology has me considering putting my Vizios on EBAY. There are two things to consider:
1) The sound is not that of excellent quality however i tried my HD sound receiver and it works great. 2) There are slight delays when turning on the TV, changing the channel and volume controls (nothing too drastic about 2 second delays)whenever you havent used those controls for a while (sort of like the TV goes into a stand-by mode). Dont know if that common with DLPs. |
| This Mitsubishi DLP blew me away!!!! |

| We were considering replacing our older Panasonic CRT 47" 1080i rear projection TV, but it was working fine......until Friday night!! The TV kicked the bucket, so we went out looking & read some reviews here on Amazon for various DLP's, Plasmas & LCD's. I wanted something larger than 55" and in 1080p. After looking at several TVs (plasma & LCDs) we kept going back to this Mitsubishi WD-60737....it just had an amazing picture! As luck would have it, a local retailer had it on SALE for $995.00!! WOW! We bought the Mitsubishi DLP, a Panasonic Blu-Ray player and TV stand all for under $1,500.00!!
Once we got it home and out of the box, we played SD cable channels (these actually looked better than expected, we were impressed that the stations did NOT look grainy) and HD cable channels (absolutely stunning.....HD Nascar & HD baseball was breath-taking). Once we had the Panasonic Blu-Ray player up and running, we watched various DVDs that we rented from the movie store. wow, WOW. We couldn't 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!!) |
| Great TV at a great price |

| We bought my son an Xbox360 for Christmas and wanted to get a larger TV with HD for the family. After shopping for 42" to 50" plasma TV's by reputable brands we noticed a similar price for the 60" Mitsubishi DLP HDTV. I was hesitant at first because I love the deep colors of plasma and wanted to get away from projection TV's as they are heavy and bulky. We did some research weight/picture ect and decided to give it a shot.
This is by far the best TV I've ever had. It is surprisingly thin and light for a rear projection, it can easily be moved by two average adults without feeling back broken afterwords. The HD color is just a good as plasma and none of those annoying pixels when the action gets to fast. Non HD channels are a little dark in the daytime but nothing to worry about. The XBOX 360 games look awesome on it. |
| Great TV for the price |

| The color and the brightness of this television make the images "pop". This TV is the best I have seen in the rear projection DLP market. You will not be disappointed in your purchase. I had an older 53" 1080i Mitsubishi DLP TV and this blows the older technology out of the water. Truly amazing!!!! The cost is also great!!! |
| A very nice TV! |

| I really like this TV. The picture is nice. There are many many options for tweaking the pictures to suit different tastes and applications. It has 2 HDMI and 3 component inputs. It has a separate audio input for DVI devices if you want to run audio back in, as well as analog and digital (copper, not fiber) audio output. There is no composite or S-video, so keep that in mind if you have legacy devices. It's fairly light weight, so it's easy to move. I have tried video of various qualities and it all looks great. The color is very versatile and easy to adjust. We've really enjoyed it so far. I have several devices hooked up to it too.
Now as far as what I don't like. I just have one small complaint. The way you operate some features with the remote, is kind of slow. Like instead of using channel buttons to toggle inputs, everything is set up through "activities", where you have to choose what you want. The function to keep aspect ratio correct is buried too. That's probably the way all things are moving though. Everything seems to be designed with people who are dumber than my cat in mind. So like I said, a very small complaint. It's a great TV, especially for the price. I definitely recommend it. |
| After much research...this thing is better than I thought! |

| Top notch picture quality for the price. Cannot beat the size, price or quality when compared to LCD, Plasma or LED technologies. Period. |

| This tv set is worth every penny! I have no problems with it at all and it offers a "huge" bang for the buck! Even at 60 inches it still gives you all the clarity of 1080p you could want. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the picture when I went to Ultimate Electronics to evaluate this model. I was actually looking at 3 other, much more expensive, sets but this one got some pretty good reviews so I went back to U.E. to put this thing through its paces. I was very very happy, to say the least.
UPDATE: Just got a pair of Xpand X102 active shutter glasses and the Panasonic DMP-BDT350 3D Blu-Ray player. Increadible! It's 3D 720p to each eye and im loving it! No need for the Mitsubishi starter kit with this combination. There's no going back now. 3D is taking over and you will see why!... |

| My 5-year-old Panasonic 44-inch TV bit the dust, and I needed a replacement, so I decided to spend $100 or so more than getting another 44-inch, and bought this beastie. I'm glad I did.
Despite what some have said aout the remote and menu system, I found it pretty easy to understand. I haven't cracked open the user guide yet, but I've got everything up and running just right. The picture is amazing (the old set was only 720P, so there is a big difference), and there are just the right number of inputs for me. Of course, I will enjoy adding a sound system at some point, but the built in speakers are adequate, and will do for now. Somehow my old TV looks so small now... |
| A Great TV for a Fantastic Price. |

Price: $799 This television is a feature-filled, future-proof package. This TV has 4 HDMI ports 2 component ports, and two composite inputs. In addition to all the great connectivity, the television is also 3d capable. IF CES 2010 is indicative of home theater's future, this TV is ready. The picture is very great. I have yet to play a Blu-ray movie on the television but HD gaming on my 360 and PS3 put games like Mass Effect and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune in a new light. The drawbacks on the WD-60737 relate to the audio. It feels as if the volume finds a hard time leveling. The variance between level 16 and 17 of audio is pretty big so finding a great volume level should be relegated to your theater system, provided you can get audio over to it. The biggest audio issue is that audio cannot be distributed simultaneously. So, if you want to listen to audio through the TV speakers and your surround sound system at the same time, you cannot. The TV has a speaker selection that gives you the options of 'TV' or 'speaker'. So, I have to manually select the audio output destination every time. Also, there are no input specific settings. So HDMI-1 input has the same visual settings as the HDMI-2 input. The television applies settings changes universally. So optimized Blu-Ray color temperatures will be universally applied to all other inputs. The included remote control is also very difficult to use. I figured it out but just reverted to my Logitech Harmony. Great thing is, the Logitech found this TV fast and has full menu functionality with third party remotes. Summarily, the Mitsubishi WD-60737 is a massive television for a manageable price. The features and size accompanied with the price cannot be beat with any other TV or display type. If you can find it for $800 or less, do not pass on this television. |

| This television is a great value for the price. It not only looks nice, but performs great as well. I spent a long time researching large televisions, and was pleased to see this one offered on Amazon at such a good price. Anyone looking for a good set at a very reasonable price should consider this one! |
| Great TV for the price. $900 |

| Got mine during the holidays and have used it for 4 months. This by far is the best Television I have owned and if you were to buy the similar LCD or Plasma you would pay a lot more. The picture is great and low and behold my sound is great as well. Hard to believe after all of the other reviews about the sound. I hardly ever get my sound over 11 or 12 which is barely having the sound on. I do have a home theater system but haven't hooked it up yet. The blue ray and hddvd quality you get are incredible. Xbox downloads are incredible as well. This is a great tv for the money. I do agree about the remote though. It is pretty bad. Other then that I have no issues. There is a filter to clean and a bulb to replace but at 200 bucks every 2 - 5 years for an incredible experience is well the price of admission. |

| I did alot of research on different types hdtvs for about 2 months before I bought my wd-60737. I did most of my research through cnet and avsforums both sites were extremely useful in helping me make an informed decision.
First I would like to start by saying that the the picture qaulity of this set is subpar right out of the box and needs to be tweaked with some very simple user adjustments and you can go further by using some settings in the advanced menu in the avsforum. After I applied these settings and a few adjustments on my own I have to say the picture is absolutely breathtaking. One caveat though if you plan on using this set to watch SD programing you will not be happy with the picture while I dont think this is a fault with the set, but more to do with the size of the screen which makes any flaws present in the upscaling like glaring eyesores. Sound on this set is really great for built in speakers which is rare for a hdtv these days as most have really terrible speakers. PC connectivity is limited on this device as there is no pc port so either you need an pc with hdmi out or an adapter. There is an issue with overscan (all DLPs suffer from this) that if you have your resolution set to 1080 your desktop will be outside the viewing range of the tv. You will need to adjust the graphic settings so that you reduce the screen size till it fits and while this will not be exact it is close enough to satisfy me. There is a guide for 1:1 pixel mapping but I am not concerned enough to undertake such an endeavor. In closing I looked at a lot of sets of various sizes and this set for the buck is hands down the winner I havent found anything in the price range that even compares. p.s. There is nothing like playing my 360 on this thing I almost wept the first time I loaded up Resident Evil 5. I am honestly just in aw of this tv. |
