Mitsubishi 65 inch 1080p DLP (WD-65831)

If you have listened to this show for more than a couple of months you know that Ara has purchased a 65 inch Mitsubishi DLP WD-65831 $2950 online. Many will remember the journey that got him there. He looked at the SONY SXRD, JVC HD-ILA, and he even toyed with buying the Samsung LED based DLP. In the end, one Saturday afternoon while hanging out in a Magnolia store he saw the Mitsubishi and decided it was that TV that was going into the Media Room.

I agree with your review except for a few things.

1) The optimal model for price/performance is WD-65732 not the WD-65731. The WD-65732 has everything the WD-65831 has except it has a 150 watt bulb (instead of 180), a slightly worse contrast screen and no DV input (only supports mpeg2 on the IEEE-1492 input). All this for $500 less. The WD-65731 does not perform as well on SD content or more importantly does not have PerfectTint making it harder to color calibrate the TV.

2) Most people turn off Deepfield Imager. The deep field imager crushes blacks. It does make some scenes look better, but others look worse. Also, some people report problems. Basically, the problem with any dynamic iris is that you can't have a high contrast between different parts of the screen.

3) Most people set noise to low for HD. Off is good for SD.

Otherwise a great review.

I agree I didn't explain myself well. The article is very technical and does a good job of explaining what is going on. And it appears to recommend turning it off. Your review of the Mits WD-65831 recommends turning it on.

So do you recommend turning it on or not?
