Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description The WD-57733 is a large 57-inch DLP (Digital Light Processing) rear-projection HDTV from Mitsubishi that incorporates the latest technologies for an accurate picture that is perfect for a large home theater system.

Giant Performance, Small Footprint
Because the latest Texas Instruments 1080P DLP chip is inside, this television yields the full 1920 x 1080 high-definition resolution with progressive scan, the highest quality HDTV standard today. With a television this size, offering more than two million pixels is important to prevent visible pixelation.

The WD-57733 supports the x.v.Color standard for 80 percent more color than standard HDTV. View larger. View back panel.

Despite the large screen size, the WD-57733 weighs just 62.4 pounds and is only 14 inches deep. View larger.

The television can display any video signal that is connected to it. When a 1080p signal is the input, it passes through with no down conversion: The 1080p signal is maintained from beginning to end, giving the best picture quality. When a lower resolution is detected, whether it is 720p HD or a DVD, the signal is automatically scaled to display at 1080p, with minimal side effects and a very detailed picture.

The screen is big and the technologies are many, but the unit itself weighs only 62.4 pounds and is only 14 inches deep, which means it will fit into many decors.

More Color
The WD-57733 incorporates a slew of new technologies that combine to give this television the most realistic color reproduction available on the market today. The new x.v.Color standard is supported, which dramatically increases the color space available, with 80 percent more color than standard HDTV.

The WD-57733 also supports Deep Color, a new standard that incorporates 10-bit color depth, versus the previous 8-bit color depth. With Deep Color, shaded images show less banding and greater contrast.

Coupled with this technology is Mitsubishi's exclusive 6-Color Light Engine, which uses six primary colors instead of the traditional three to create more colors. Mitsubishi's Color 4D Noise Reduction, PerfectColor, and PerfectTint yield a wider color palette and the ability to fine tune the set to your exact preferences. The end result is a brighter, smoother, and more realistic picture than ever before.

Connections Galore
You don't need to worry about running out of connections with the WD-57733. It has three HDMI 1.3 inputs with Simplay HD certification, so you can connect your Blu-Ray player, HD DVD player, and still have an input left over. It also has three component video inputs (two rear, one front), a front USB connection so you can display up to five-megapixel photographs, and two A/V inputs with S-Video. It has a Dolby Digital/PCM output and an analog stereo output.

The WD-57733 is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

I have the WD-57731 Which is in the same family as other similar models for this TV.

I purchased it on 1/20/07

On 3/29/09 I am without a tv once again and am going on my third lamp replacement.

The Tv often overheats and shuts itself down.

@ $200 dollars per lamp this is a real problem. Mitsubishi will not even admit that there is a defect wtith these sets.

Shame on Mitsubishi and I sure wish I had gotten the JVC that I was going to buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Perfect But Good Value For the Price, October 22, 2007

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-57733 57-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV (Electronics)

I bought this TV off Amazon over the summer to replace a Sony KDS-60A2000 that I had sold due to a move. I wanted to get the KDS-60A2020 to replace it but I had some concern about the weight/width for getting it into the family room of my new residence.

The Mitsubishi TV solved most of those problems. The TV is only about 14" deep and weighs around 65 lbs. Not bad for a TV of this size (the Sony was about 20" thick and weighed about 95 lbs).

The TV has 3 HDMI ports (all of which are being used now, compared to the Sony's 2) and has dual digital tuners. It's useful if you want to get OTA HDTV and your regular cable as well.

Really the only flaws are some weird screen geometry (warping on the left-hand side of the screen) and occasional issues with HDCP and the HDMI. Supposedly the set is using HDMI 1.3 and I think this may be causing sets with the Playstation 3 which is also supposedly HDMI 1.3.

My other HDMI devices, an Xbox 360 and a HD cable box both work fine but sometimes the PS3 just loses the signal and I have to plug/unplug the cable from the back of the TV. I haven't had any issues with component or any other connections, just the PS3's HDMI. There's also a noticeable lag when changing resolutions via HDMI (I've noticed when changing from 480p/720p/1080i/1080p).

I'd also say that the remote is kind of cheap and not that great (although the multifunction abilities were able to interact 75% properly with my rather obscure audio system successfully drop down to 2 remote controls).

Those are not huge deal breakers for me and the cost for the size was great. Plus, as a DLP set I'm less worried about the green blob issue that I used to notice on my Sony set.

I have a WD52528 which is basiclly the same set. In two years I had the Store, where I bought it and in warranty, replace the light engin and mirror. Less than another year I replace the lamp, that one was my cost. What I see is if this set is not in a VERY CLEAN enviroment, you will have problems with things like dust, cooking, etc. It will become a very expensive set to maintain and keep the origional picture quality that you start with. I fyou buy it get a life time warranty!
