Amazing TV compared to some double the price!
My fiance bought this TV on Amazon a few days ago, we got the email saying it shipped and 3 days later it was delivered right to out door. Coming out of the box this thing is HUGE! Everyone who has seen it today is totally taken aback by the shear size of the display.

One of the first things after setting it up was to hook up my game consoles and surround sound. When first turned on the brightness is WAY to high, so that's the first setting you should adjust, followed by the contrast. After that's set it's pretty much PERFECT! The picture quality is very sharp, even at about 7 feet its still very crisp.

Theres plenty of out puts for all the gaming consoles Blu-Ray/DVD players you could ever want (3 HDMI and 2 Component) the speakers on the TV put out some decent sound too, but using the AUX cable will make your home theater picture perfect!

All in all this is one of the best purchases we've ever made and it was worth every penny!

Incredible Value Excellent Quality
I have a basic 5.1 home theater system and I needed a new, larger TV. This Mitsubishi more then filled the bill with its whopping 60 inch size. The screen quality is just as good and is more natural then most any plasma or LCD in my opinion. The TV is simple to use and is easy to set up. I did not want to downrate the TV for its sound quality because I do not use its internal speakers and there is no N/A choice on the scale and I have not tried the 3D option yet. The screen only takes a few moments to warm up and it is beautiful once it does. The fan is relatively quiet and nonobtrusive. The remote is rather plain and simple, but I use my receiver remote for switching sources. A good universal remote is wise investment. 1080i from my cable box and 1080p Blurays look gorgeous. PS3 gaming is superb. The dollar to size and quality of this set can not be beat.

Nice TV for the size & price
For the price, this TV is a great deal! The Sound quality is good even without surround sound. Plenty of inputs (3 HDMI). Easy set up. My only Con is the picture quality...it's not the greatest even with a High Def Box, but for the money - I can't complain.

Great Television if you can get the remote to work
Let me say first and foremost that the television looks amazing picture wise. The picture is large, bright, and extremely colorful. Unfortunately, I will never be able to use it to its fullest extent. The remote control that came with the television is a necessity to enable 3D as there is NO menu button or format button on the television. The remote did not function and I was forced to contact Mitsubishi to get a replacement remote which was overnighted to me. This remote did not work either and after purchasing 2 pairs of 3D glasses and the starter kit, I was out nearly 1500 dollars. Mitsubishi is not easy to deal with, so beware of even purchasing the product to begin with. The strange thing is when I called Amazon, they told me they would replace the television, but that they were backordered and would require 1-2 months to replace!!! The reason I say this is strange is because as of now, the site says there are 2 left in stock! I have had to arrange to have the television picked back up and then will be refunded for it after they get it back. They have also agreed to refund me for the 2 pairs of 3D glasses but I have to ship them back first, and the 3D starter kit I purchased from Tiger Direct and have to ship it back to them which is no fault of Amazon's. I figure I will get a total refund after about a month or so after I ordered the television. I love Amazon and have purchased hundreds of items from them, but this one was a total bust. As I stated at the beginning of the review, the television is nice, but it does me no good if the 3D capabilites they promise are not able to be used. It was the main reason I purchased the television in the first place. Considering the price, I know now that you definitely get what you pay for and will wait until the better 3D televisions come down in price some before even thinking of purchasing another one. This was the single worst shopping experience of my life.

A simple TV with a strikingly large, good picture
In its price range, the size and the quality of the picture seems to be far better than average. It works well with indirect or shaded daylight falling on its screen. You'll probably want to back off the as-received brightness and contrast settings to get something a little bit more natural.

This is a simplified box with simplified inputs, outputs and controls.

Unlike a LCD it is about 16 inches thick and has a projector bulb that you may have to replace during its useful life. It takes a good part of a minute to warm up. It also lacks the complex selective contrast-enhancing features of newer LED LCD TVs. On balance, the basic static contrast is plenty high for all but video perfectionists.

It has no analog outputs so that if you want to add an external audio system, that audio system must have a digital (SP/DIF coax) input (stereo), or some kind of time delay to avoid problems with lip synch.

The market for this TV is either someone who wants a basic TV with great picture and OK sound, or someone who is willing to provide the technical resources required to incorporate it into a more sophisticated A/V system with a multichannel receiver, etc. The middle ground where you just plug an analog stereo receiver or some powered speakers into it just isn't there.

Also lacking are networking and internet support. If you want to watch downloaded videos, you'll need to add a PC to your AV system. The PC-oriented video inputs are HDMI so there's no place to plug in the traditional 15 pin analog CRT connector. Of course doing so would be a waste of a great monitor. A PC with a HDMI or DVI output (with simple adaptor to match the TV's the HDMI inputs) can work well.
