DLP HDTVs Seattle WA

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 ( Buy Now ). 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.

Description
This is a 1080p TV with two HDMI inputs that accept 1080p picture sources. In addition to the HDMI inputs the TV also supports PC DVI-I (1), Component (3), S-Video, RCA and IEEE1394 (Front and Back). The TV has 6-Color Light Engine and Mitsubishi's own TurboLight180 lamp system that is supposed to provided high detail and bright vivid colors. You can adjust the intensity and tint of each color independently and separately for each input providing ultimate calibration options. The TV is also CableCard ready so you won't need a digital set top box if your cable provider supports the technology. The TV also has a memory card reader for viewing your digital images on the screen. Finally, the TV ships with two remote controls. One that is full featured and a second simple remote that only include the most common control functions.

The TV is large (40 3/4 x 58 1/2 x 19 13/16 99.0 lbs.). In fact, Ara's wife was ready to send it back when it showed up. Oddly enough, after about a month and a half of use, it no longer feels so large. With that said, when you consider that the TV has a 65 inch screen and is just under 20 inches deep its not as big as you think it would be. The TV is aesthetically pleasing. It has a piano black finish with a thin bezel that barely frames the screen. The matching base completes the look and is quite functional. One note of warning. Be prepared to dust the TV often as the black will show dust. The TV fits on the stand nicely and both complement each other. The stand easily will support your electronics and center channel speaker. Cable management is easy as well.
