My TV came in today! v. 65" of pure joy

[Ruiner]

Mitsubishi 65" DLP 1080p WD-65731

The HD Satellite connection will be set up tomorrow. :chuckles: College football is going to be great!

I haven't even had a chance to set anything, adust, etc, so pardon the mess. I still need to get a backlight for the TV (looking at setting up something like this) and hook up my receiver, speakers, etc.

Whenever I get everything set up. Still have more stuff to do with the house. Fuck, it's like another job!

[rupertaker]

Looks cool.

Not real big on Mitsus but its a pretty sweet tv, I play with them at work all day.

Lemme know if you need anything else and I'll hook it up

I saw it lined up next to one of the Samsungs and the picture quality was about the same, but the gloss black front of the Samsung 1080ps really turned me off. I wanted a matte-black finish. Plus, I know that the Mitsi will do true 1080p when it becomes available. Will the Samsungs? I know that a lot do not do native 1080p, uncompressed signals just yet. Many do, but some don't.

Thanks. What do you not like about the Mitsus? What would your choice have been?

[B16a2 Civic]

Ruiner, what does the "v." mean in your titles?

[rupertaker]

Thanks. What do you not like about the Mitsus? What would your choice have been?

I still think Im going to end up with the 55HDT79 from Hitachi even though its not 1080P.

I like the new JVC and Sony 46'' 1080P LCD's but I still want something bigger =/

I agree about the glossy black on the Samsungs, thats what I have now and Im tired of it.

[Ruiner]

Ruiner, what does the "v." mean in your titles?

version

It's an old way of doing things from another forum that I am on.

Sorta like...

"Some new pics for today! v. jailbait girls"

or

"Did some new mods to my car! v. it sounds incredible now"

etc

[rupertaker]

Ruiner, what does the "v." mean in your titles?

V meaning ''version 65'' of pure joy''

OT 01 :-P

[RandomGuy]

lol wtf backlight? looks like a dumb idea, haha will give ppl ADD while watching movies ...

ooOO the pretty colors behind the TV!

[rupertaker]

What kind of surround sound are you going to do?

[B16a2 Civic]

ooooo okay.
well onto the tv, thats badass man, it looks nice, i love that entertainment center you have there too

[Ruiner]

Depends on the level of eye strain, honestly. It helps to reduce the strain. I have to see how much myself or my g/f get when watching this in a completely dark room all the time.

[Ruiner]

Haven't decided yet...

[Ruiner]

Those fucking tv stands are $$$ as shit. Fuck, and heavy! My stand (with the three glass pieces) is heavier than my TV!

Why? I am getting Dish tomorrow and opted not to go with Direct TV. What's the problem with them?

[devinwebb907]

mind if i ask what you paid for that?

[Ruiner]

Too much. Stand + TV + 3-yr service + tax = $3800

Glad I could help just want you to get the full experience out of your TV!! :yes:

[ISAtlanta300]

3800 with the stand? That is not bad at all, man... for a 65 incher? Damn good....

[JConner]

looks good man, that backlight is a very good idea. I'm going to forward that link to my mom concerning what we were talking about in the other forum when it comes to eyestrain. I like how you put the CD in the corner of the screen, pictures never do justice on how big 65 inches actually is.

[Boosted S60R]

congrats man.

[green91]

i dont think thats a bad price. we've got a philips plasma with abilight here at the house and its kinda neat but i usually turn the ambilight off.

[Ruiner]

3800 with the stand? That is not bad at all, man... for a 65 incher? Damn good....

The 3-yr service was another $340 I think, so take that into consideration.

TV: $2900 ($3200 normally 'til I talked him down)
Stand: $345 I think ($450 normally)
3-yr service: $340
Tax...

[Crazy Asian]

Put your avatar on TV I want to see what it looks like on a 65

That's really not bad at all, my friend's bro paid 6900 for his 61" Sony w/o a stand.

Looks better in real life and not on TV or in an avatar. ;)

i just ordered my own 1080p tv.... whats some of the upcoming signals we can come to expect in this resolution?

I know blu-ray is out there but $1k is way to much!!!
Is the xbox 360 output 1080?

Right now im just waiting on the ps3 to come out, that should be some good stuff.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

the bottom left corner, the cd, to show the size?

[ahmonrah]

that shit looks good. did you decide against wall mounting????

[Z33_kid]

dang tht tv is big

[umairejaz]

that shit looks good. did you decide against wall mounting????

LOL.... wall mounting a dlp, that would be sweet

[ahmonrah]

LOOKING up the dimensions of the tv and seeing it from all angles, it would be too much work (to your walls) to mount that bitch in the wall. i retract my previous question.....:lmfao:

Ive been reading more about it and they say most earlier 1080p tvs still cant fully accept a 1080p signal when they do become widely available making them alittle useless for the soul purpose of buying for accepting that signal alone:thinking:

the technology is still in its infancy so i hope my tv doesn't become obsolete
:cry:

[Tarzanman]

The FCC sucks. The still-as-of-yet broadcast flag is why current TV's may not be able to accept 1080 resolution HD.

65" is huge! ... but if/when I get a big screen, then i'm going to have to go with Plasma. Nothing else that I have seen for thin, flat screens is as good when trying to watch your TV in a sun-lit room. Too bad a 65" Plasma costs ~$10,000+ at the moment! :-) (you can get 50" plasmas for ~$3000-$4000, though)

[Ruiner]

Yes, to give the perspective of size.

The Mitsu that I just bought accepts a native 1080p signal. :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob:

The stunning 731 Series picture is further enhanced by an all-new digital signal processing system. Plush1080p® allows for precise deinterlacing and upconversion to 1080p. 4D Video Noise Reduction creates smooth yet detailed images. And Tru1080p™ processes the highest resolution HDTV signals in their native format.

Tru1080p™ Processing - All Mitsubishi 1080p HDTVs process 1920 x 1080p inputs without downconversion, delivering the full bandwidth of the incoming signal directly to the screen for a true 2 million pixel image.

There ya go. :)

Sun really doesn't affect the screen on my DLP.

[HvyArms]

Okay, it's official now. I hate you. I've tried to deny it for some time now, but...fuckit I hate you. That's hot shit

[Bballjamal]

Anything is worth watching now as long as it's in HD.......lmao!

[HalfBaked]

Nice.

We have 2 toshiba 63inch DLPs here in my house...for some reason 2 of my roommates decided to each buy one.

[bluuuurr]

:thinking:

Huh?

...and people on welfare drive Lexus's, Escaleds, and Benz's. :thinking:

I'm flattered with the stereotype, but I am just a normal person who works his ass off so that he can buy toys. :thinking:

Word of caution though, to the normal folks,

Don't go over you budget and go crazy to FORCE yourself to buy a 1080p display, just because it is the rage.

At the moment there are very, VERY limited sources that can even put out 1080p.

HDTV is still at 720p at the moment. No 1080p broadcast exist at this time that I know of.

Early HDDVD Players can only do 1080i. Newer models may be able to do 1080p, and so may the new Sony PS3. However.. it still remains to be seen HOW MANY titles / games whatever will be available at 1080p. Not to mention that for the next couple of years those players (HDDVD) will be $$$ expensive , and so will the titles (prob. about 30-40 a disc).

If you are just going to watch standard dvd's and don't plan to upgrade your player and YOUR ENTIRE DVD collection at this time, a 720p screen will do just fine. Likewise, if you just plan to watch the occasional game in HD. (You would also need to upgrade your service to HD.. more $$$)

Be also aware that normal broadcasts may look like crap, when the TV downconverts the image. Unless you want to watch HD channels only 24/7, this can be an issue.

If you are not going to get a screen bigger than 40" I won't even bother with a 1080p. The difference will not be noticeable, unless you sit like, 6 inches from the screen.

H O W E V E R

If you feel you are ready for the digital age, are able to shell + $ 6.000 on a TV and all the digital gear / cables / sources / service etc.that go with it to make it shine, then yes... this is an excellent TV, and when fed the proper source can give you visual orgasm. Just don't expect to watch much 1080p tv for a couple of years.

[RedGTS]

^-- WELL SAID PLUS 1 FOR YOU,

I manage an HHgregg here in atlanta, we get alot of customer that want 1080p televisions, but they dont know why (there buddy has one usually).....the only real way to take advantage is a blue ray player $1000.00

I would personally invest the extra money in a good home theater system.
