Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You'll enjoy a breathtaking viewing experience from any video source with the amazingly large and bright 62-inch Mitsubishi MicroDisplay WD-62527 high-definition, rear-projection LCD. Featuring a simple, clean design with a compact cabinet (at just 19.9 inches deep), the WD-52527 will fit into virtually any home theater furnishings without crowding the surroundings. It includes dual HD tuners and a wide variety of digital inputs (including two HDMI inputs and two Firewire ports). It's also digital cable ready with the integrated CableCARD slot and incorporates TV Guide's On Screen program guide for easy viewing of what's on today and seven days into the future.

It delivers stunningly bright images thanks to Mitsubishi’s proprietary 3LCD light engine and Plush720p imaging technology, which converts lower quality analog to HDTV resolution. The 3LCD technology simultaneously projects three full-time red, green and blue images, so there's no color breakup or "rainbow effect" that may cause eyestrain or visual fatigue.

The WD-62527 has a 1280 x 720-pixel resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, and compatibility with 480i/480p/720p/1080i video sources. It pumps out audio via its integrated 20-watt speaker system (10 watts per two channels) and also offers Mitsubishi's Level Sound Dynamics Limiter features, which evens out the sound of programs--even during loud commercial breaks. A 480-line motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter delivers state-of-the-art detail and color enhancement.

Other convenience features include color temperature controls, full-screen image freeze, two tuner picture-in-picture (PIP), split screen, six 4:3 aspect ratio and two 16:9 aspect ratio picture formats, channel labeling, V-Chip parental controls, and a sleep timer. This set features the following video and audio connections:

  • Composite AV (RCA): 3 in (1 front), 1 out
  • S-Video: 3 in (1 front)
  • Component Video: 2 in
  • HDMI: 2 in
  • RF: 2 in
  • DVI audio: 2 in
  • Analog audio ouput: 1
  • Digital audio output: 1 (Coaxial)
  • Firewire: 2

The IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire or i.Link) multimedia connection enables simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth real-time audio, video and data networking between a Mitsubishi TV and other consumer electronics products such as camcorders and DVHS VCRs. With IEEE 1394 compatible products and systems, users can record SD or HD digital video over a plug-and-play A/V network.

Proprietary Mitsubishi Features
This television includes several exclusive Mitsubishi technologies that enhance its picture as well as ease of use.

  • Mitsubishi’s exclusive LCD light engine features SmartShutter to improve contrast ratio by four times for blacker blacks and more shades of dark gray. Large Aperture Optics improve its efficiency by assuring that more of the available light reaches the screen. They also provide a larger "sweet spot" so that the image on screen is clear and low in distortion.
  • Mitsubishi's Plush720p technology precisely scales and upconverts 480i analog TV signals to HDTV resolution. It uses proprietary algorithms developed in Mitsubishi's R&D labs that compensate for frame rate andÊ3:2 pulldown, resulting in standard-definition (SD) images that approach the clarity of true HDTV, especially when the sources are DVDs, digital cable and digital satellite signals.
  • For sports fans and action movie junkies, QuickMotion is an advanced high speed LCD technology that drives each pixel faster, resulting in speedier response time for crisper, less blurry images.
  • Rather than provide standard color and tint controls, Mitsubishi's PerfectColor technology enables you to adjust the screen's color palette with six independent color controls (magenta, red, yellow, green, cyan, and blue).
  • Finally, the ClearThought set of features includes all-digital audio output (which converts analog audio signals to digital audio) and the NetCommand single-remote control home theater operation system (which allows you to set up and control components using simple on-screen icons). It also provides the TV Guide On Screen 8-day program guide system, which makes it easy to sort through all the television listings to find your favorite channels.

Tech Talk
A microdisplay television typically offers a large screen with a cabinet that's deeper than standard LCD and plasma screens, but far more compact than old-school cathode-ray television (CRTs). This rear-projection TV projects red, green, and blue light that's filtered through a pixel-filled microchip color wheel and directed onto a digital micromirror device (DMD), a chip with millions of hinged, microscopic mirrors attached, which switches on and off up to 5,000 times a second. The reflected light is directed through a lens and onto a screen, creating an image. Unlike rear-projection CRT sets, all microdisplays can get quite bright without losing detail, so they're perfectly watchable in brightly lit rooms.

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

What's in the Box
Microdisplay LCD TV, multibrand NetCommand remote control (with 2 AA batteries), IR emitter cable

Warranty
One year on parts. One year on labor with in-home service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product., December 8, 2007
This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-62527 62-Inch LCD Projection HDTV (Electronics)
I purchased the Mitsubishi brand TV after carefully doing some research on DLP type TV's. I was impressed from the start. I purchased a 62inch set in mid 2005 and had no problems for 2 years.
When I did have a problem it was the lamp ($210.00) Shortly after that the Ballast went. $300 for part and $280 Labor.
I can only say that make sure you purchase the extended warranty.
I still like their TV's and would purchase another one.

The whites is the first thing you will notice when watching it, it jumps out at you it is so bright white! Really is awesome to watch, although a little pricy but you do get what you pay for!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lessons Learned, April 8, 2007
This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-62527 62-Inch LCD Projection HDTV (Electronics)
Owning this, my first high-def TV, has taught me a lot,

Pros:

-Very good picture (although not the, "Wow!" you get when viewing others)
-Two HDMI inputs

Cons:
-No 1080p
-Only 60 Hz
-No DLP
-No digital audio in
-No dedicated DVI to connect a computer
-Built-in tuner is extremely slow, essentially unusable
-Built-in speakers are terrible, definitely going to need an external amp and stereo or surround sound speakers
-The ballast went out after 18 months. $300 part $300 labor.

The repair man stated that bad ballasts are a common problem with this product line. Thus, buy the extended warranty if you purchase this or the 2006/2007 version.
