Mitsubishi WD-57731 57-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV
Great picture, poor design details
I love this TV's picture quality when it has a nice hi-def source.  Simply awesome picture when viewing my local PBS station using my cable's non-HD signal.  Amazing difference when viewing a stations SD source vs its HD source.  Picture with an external antennae isn't bad.  Sound is good.  Price is really cheap compared to the competition. <br /> <br />However, it has a number of problems that lead me to not recommend it.  First, it has two very loud fans that are quite noticeable and annoying during quieter moments in a broadcast/movie.  (No, after a month I haven't gotten used to it.)  The remote is okay, but there's an amazing delay between button push and the TV doing something, sometimes as long as five seconds.  The TV is really slow (4-5 seconds) to change channels.  The Favorite Channel feature doesn't seem to work.  Sometimes it says a source is SD when it's actually HD; if I then press Info, it'll then change the notation.  If a signal isn't present when the TV starts, it puts a message on screen saying it'll shut down in a minute; when a signal becomes present, the message stays on screen for up to a minute longer.  It doesn't always recognize my hi-def camcorder when plugged into the Firewire port; when it stops recognizing it, I have to unplug the cable, power cycle the TV, and try again.  Sometimes there's an obvious delay between the sound and the picture when viewing DVDs (this could be a problem with my cabling). <br /> <br />If I had purchased it from a store like Fry's that has a 30 day guarantee, I would have taken it back. <br /> <br />I recommend you check out the Sony LCOS systems; that was my second choice.
