1080p High-Definition DLP Display System
The WD-73837 uses Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing technology for rear-projection TVs to create the picture you see on screen. All images are displayed at 1080p, and the TV uses Plush 1080p 5G to convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display. It'll also accept 1080p original signals and maintain them at 1080p through all processing until displayed.

3D Ready
All Mitsubishi 1080p DLP HDTVs are 3D Ready. This feature lets you experience the new 3D technologies applied to many recent movies and video games. Immerse yourself in your favorite video game, movie, or sporting event displayed in 3D.

16:9 Widescreen Picture Format
Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.

Integrated HDTV Tuner
The WD-73837 features an internal HDTV tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable programming.

Smooth 120Hz
Mitsubishi's Smooth 120Hz Film Motion takes 120Hz technology to the next level with dejudder for film originated content. In the conversion of film-to-video for display, 24Hz artifacts can be seen in slow panning scenes. Smooth 120Hz Film Motion eliminates this artifact for smooth, crisp, fast and slow action content.

6-Color Processor
Mitsubishi's 6-Color Processor processes and produces images with six different colors--instead of the traditional three--to display a wider range of colors, brighter colors and whiter whites.

PerfectColor
PerfectColor replaces the traditional "tint" control on TVs, giving users far more control over their on-screen picture. Adjust six colors independently to dial in the perfect picture. In addition, PerfectTint sliders allow you to adjust six hues for the current image source.

x.v.Color
x.v.Color is the new standard in high-definition color, which delivers up to 80 percent more color than standard HDTV for breathtaking realism and vivid, natural colors.

USB Input
The WD-73837 can read photo or music files from a USB device. Enjoy your favorite MP3/WMA music files, your JPEG images, or combine the two in a music-accompanied slide show. The TV can also display input from a camera through the Y/VIDEO port.

High-Definition Video Inputs

• Three Component Video Inputs.
  Also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-definition signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.
  
  
• Four HDMI Inputs.
  These inputs accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI inputs can also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions. These inputs support HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (up to 36 bits) and the x.v.Color extended color gamut. Used with an adapter, these HDMI inputs also accept compatible digital DVI video signals. HDMI inputs provide additional high-performance, high-definition connections for maximum flexibility in your choice of home theater products. The HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.

Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing automatically recognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can easily find and select connected devices by name.

Home-Theater Control

• HDMI Control
  HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the TV's HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, allowing the TV's remote control to operate some functions of these devices.
  
  
• Net Command with IR Learning
  Mitsubishi's 837 Series offers a new level of networking that seamlessly integrates selected older A/V products with new and future digital products. Net Command supports IR (infrared) control of products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. Net Command can "learn" remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand-controlled home theater system. The necessary IR emitter cables are available for purchase separately from Mitsubishi.

ENERGY STAR Compliance
This TV meets ENERGY STAR efficiency standards in all operating modes.

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Reviews

Best bang for the buck!
Got this TV a week ago, and I have to say I'm very impressed. I was originally planning on putting in a ceiling-mount projector with an 80" screen, but I saw a huge price drop on the 73835 and ordered it through Electronics Expo... after I placed the order, they called me and said they had oversold it and upgraded me to the new 73837 for the same price! Great customer service. A few things about the TV: It's big and bright! It comes set on "brilliant" picture mode, which is horrible. I usually calibrate my TV's as best I can with Video Essentials or Avia, but this model has an in-depth picture adjustment menu with ISF level adjustments. There are two advanced picture presets and the second one looks perfect to me. Had a bunch of people over for the Penn State-Iowa game this weekend and they could not believe how real the game looked. I bought the Bell'O AVSC-9870 stand for it, which fits it perfectly and is selling cheap on Amazon right now. (note, this stand looks fabulous, but is not very deep. If you have big audio components, they may not fit). If you scroll halfway down the page for that stand you can see the Mitsu sitting on it. The TV is not very heavy, but it's awkward to move. The remote is a waste. Most people don't use their TV's remotes anymore, so I won't knock it for that. The menus are not very intuitive, but other than that, I have no other problems with this set. The built-in speakers sound pretty decent, but I'll never have them on. It looks awesome with Blu-Ray and PS3 games, but up-sampled DVDs show their lack of resolution at this screen size. The screen non-reflective, which is a nice change from my 57" Toshiba that you could see everything reflecting on. The lamp is easy to replace yourself, with a pull-out cartridge in the back, unlike older TVs where you had to get a service tech to do it. A replacement bulb is $99 from Mitsubishi, but you shouldn't need one for a few years. It does lack picture in picture, but I'm not too keen on that anyway. All in all, I'm really pleased with this TV, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a big screen for a lot less than a similar sized flat panel. For a more in-depth review, Home Theater magazine reviewed it in their latest issue and gave it 4 stars for value.

The Mitsubishi WD-73837 Is The Best DLP I've Owned
We've owned a few Mitsubishi's over the years simpy because they've been so reliable and last forever. Our old WD-62725 DLP got moved downstairs to make way for our new WD-73837 DLP.

We'd always been impressed by the 62725's picture quality and expected the new WD-73837's picture to certainly be an improvement based on it's newer technology. What we didn't expect was the absolutely stunning picture quality the WD-73837 delivers. With its crisp picture and incredible colors it's just like looking out of an open window minus the smells in the air. Because of its great picture HD movies take on an almost 3D-ish quality.

One of the reasons we decided to stay with another DLP is because of the ability to see the screen even at a high angles off to the side so we could watch it from our kitchen. This TV doesn't disappoint and is viewable even at 60-70 degrees away from the screen.

I can't comment on the WD-73837's speaker sound quality as we have it hooked up through our entertainment system's speakers.

In conclusion we'd highly recommend the Mitsubishi WD-73837 DLP to anyone looking for a seriously good TV.
