In screen sizes ranging from 60" to 82", Mitsubishi Home Theater TVs define the large screen entertainment category by offering incomparable value and stronger performance than smaller flat panel televisions.

1080p High-Definition DLP Display System
The WD-65837 uses Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing technology for rear-projection TVs to create the picture you see on screen. All images are displayed at 1080p, and the TV uses Plush 1080p 5G to convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display. It'll also accept 1080p original signals and maintain them at 1080p through all processing until displayed.

3D Ready
All Mitsubishi 1080p DLP HDTVs are 3D Ready. This feature lets you experience the new 3D technologies applied to many recent movies and video games. Immerse yourself in your favorite video game, movie, or sporting event displayed in 3D.

16:9 Widescreen Picture Format
Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.

Integrated HDTV Tuner
The WD-65837 features an internal HDTV tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable programming.

Smooth 120Hz
Mitsubishi's Smooth 120Hz Film Motion takes 120Hz technology to the next level with dejudder for film originated content. In the conversion of film-to-video for display, 24Hz artifacts can be seen in slow panning scenes. Smooth 120Hz Film Motion eliminates this artifact for smooth, crisp, fast and slow action content.

6-Color Processor
Mitsubishi's 6-Color Processor processes and produces images with six different colors--instead of the traditional three--to display a wider range of colors, brighter colors and whiter whites.

PerfectColor
PerfectColor replaces the traditional "tint" control on TVs, giving users far more control over their on-screen picture. Adjust six colors independently to dial in the perfect picture. In addition, PerfectTint sliders allow you to adjust six hues for the current image source.

x.v.Color
x.v.Color is the new standard in high-definition color, which delivers up to 80 percent more color than standard HDTV for breathtaking realism and vivid, natural colors.

USB Input
The WD-65837 can read photo or music files from a USB device. Enjoy your favorite MP3/WMA music files, your JPEG images, or combine the two in a music-accompanied slide show. The TV can also display input from a camera through the Y/VIDEO port.

High-Definition Video Inputs

• Three Component Video Inputs.
  Also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-definition signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.
  
  
• Four HDMI Inputs.
  These inputs accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI inputs can also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions. These inputs support HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (up to 36 bits) and the x.v.Color extended color gamut. Used with an adapter, these HDMI inputs also accept compatible digital DVI video signals. HDMI inputs provide additional high-performance, high-definition connections for maximum flexibility in your choice of home theater products. The HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.

Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing automatically recognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can easily find and select connected devices by name.

Home-Theater Control

• HDMI Control
  HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the TV's HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, allowing the TV's remote control to operate some functions of these devices.
  
  
• Net Command with IR Learning
  Mitsubishi's 837 Series offers a new level of networking that seamlessly integrates selected older A/V products with new and future digital products. Net Command supports IR (infrared) control of products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. Net Command can "learn" remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand-controlled home theater system. The necessary IR emitter cables are available for purchase separately from Mitsubishi.

ENERGY STAR Compliance
This TV meets ENERGY STAR efficiency standards in all operating modes.

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-65837 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV (Electronics)

I've been watching the WD-65837 for a good two days now throwing everything at it, Directtv...Bluray...HDDVD...and still this TV displys beautiful pictures. Colors are crisp and accurate. I calibrated the set using Joe Kanes HDTV calibration disc and although the green is still a little off, it's closser than the WD65833 was.
So far loving this set!

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-65837 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV (Electronics)

Picture quality is absolutely fantastic! True colors, good viewing angle, and easy set up. I like the unified digital sound output, which feeds all audio inputs out. Allowed easy single digital audio coaxial cord connection to my Yamaha AV Receiver.

Worst part of TV is explaining to your friends why you just bought a DLP TV. Constant frowns from those inquiring, yet everyone who has seen it is impressed. Terrific Blu Ray images; Avatar video is amazing! Direct TV HD images are very good. Video much better than my old Samsung HD 61" DLP, replaced since it stopped working. Mitsubishi claims that all video images are up-converted to 1080P. Small physical size of this 65" Mitsubishi allowed me to fit it in a cabinet that previously was filled by the 61" TV of similar physical size. All LCD 65" TV's were too large physically to fit in my space, and picture quality is definitely comparable. Well worth having the larger screen size. Note that it is not wall mountable, not relevant for my application.

Bought it just before christmas. Hooked it to Verizon FIOS with Onkyo TX-SR-607 Receiver and Onkyo speakers.
TV is awesome. Picture quality is phenominal. I have surround sound speakers so i do not use TV speakers and thus cannot comment on that.
My basment is totally dark so i Needed an ambience light in the back. Had one small light tube so lit it up and put it behind the TV to create ambience light.
For the price vis-as-vis size vis-a-vis Quality its hard to beat this puppy.
