First, allow me to state that I am a long time Sony user (which is widely considered to make the best in televisions and other electronics). Well, this Mitsubishi HDTV can stand "toe to toe" with the Sony line, and it does it at a much lower price.

This television's High definition picture is awesome, and it's speakers are more than adequate!!! I have DIRECTV which only offers a 1080i signal (this television has an even better 1080p capability), and I am totally amazed with the crisp and clean picture. The picture is great from any angle and close up. You simply have to see it to believe it (especially if you like sports and movies). The cooling fan is extremely quiet too (can't hear it at all).

IMPORTANT - It should be understood that this television is made for a HD signal (720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Due to the overwhelming size of the screen, non HD channels seem blurry, and almost not worth watching. So make sure you spend the extra money for the HD channel packages with your cable or satellite company.

On a side note, this model also comes with an easy set up feature. It's a very nice... you simply plug in your dvd player, satellite receiver, Play Station, Xbox, whatever and it automatically senses it. It will ask you to verify that it is what it thinks it is, and that's it; no special programming or matching remotes. The television is extremely user friendly!

If you plan on watching predominately high definition channels and movies, buy this tv! You won't be disappointed!!!

Great HDTV!

Purchased this television based on the many great reviews and definately was not disappointed. Incredible picture right out of the box. Had to make major changes to the audio settings but once completed, good sound as well but would highly recommend using a Surround Sound system to obtain the full benefits of the beautiful huge screen and theatre affects. Absolutely the best deal on an excellent HDTV out there!

Way Better Than Described!

The seller claimed there was minor damage on this TV. My husband and I looked it over very carefully and the only damage we could find was to the shipping box! This HDTV is everything the seller claimed it to be and more. We are beyond pleased at our purchase.

Just buy it.

This is a fantastic TV. I purchased mine from OneCall, who got it to my house in 3 days. The television arrives in typical packaging: a box-over-crate with styrofoam padding. Even with the crate, the television is light and easy to manage, if not just slightly awkward due to it's sheer size. After un-boxing and removing the protective sheet foam from the television itself, you'll inevitably wonder, "Was my wife right... IS it too big?" Don't worry, that thought passes as quickly as it came. There really is no such thing as too big for TVs, after all.

Out of the box, the picture is great. Most people will probably be satisfied with the picture, but will mess with the controls just because they can. After calibration, though, it's stunning. The available controls in the user and service menu allow for an almost perfect calibration session. There was a very small compromise when it came to tint (the 835 series has PerfectTint, so if you're looking for perfection and don't mind paying a premium for a difference you won't really notice, you should look at that series), but otherwise it's as close to spec as possible.

For HTPC owners, take note that there is no DVI connection, so be sure your video card has an HDMI out or that you pick up a DVI-HDMI adapter. Other than that, it has all the connections you'll need. The NetCommand IR works well with my IR components, including the DirecTV HD DVR. Although, it is a little slow. The slight reduction in button response is well worth not having to have an extra remote laying around and I have the added bonus of hiding all of my components. The two included IR emitters can control multiple devices. The television also has NetCommand HDMI, but I don't have any devices capable of utilizing it.

My only complaint with this Mitsubishi is the included remote is poorly designed. Don't get me wrong, it works well. It's just clunky, ugly, and as ergonomic as a brick. The button layout is far from intuitive... it's backwards from most of the remotes I use. All my other remotes have channel numbers on the bottom, television controls (up, down, left, right, menu, volume, etc) in the middle, and player controls (play, rw, ff, stop, etc) on the top. This one is numbers on the top, television controls in the middle, and player controls on the bottom.

All in all, remote aside, this is the TV you should buy if you're not caught up in the fad of paying 4 times more for the same size screen or paying the same for a 4 times smaller screen simply because you can hang it on the wall. I couldn't be more satisfied with the television. Well, if it had a built in beer keg...

Three words for this television: Awesome, Fantastic, Best! I now own 2 of these televisions (other is 73") and my friends who have large LCD and Plasma televisions are so jealous. They have all exclaimed how much better the picture is to watch on mine. I've had the 73" for about a year now and have had no problems. You can't go wrong with this television.
