This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have:
![]() | ![]() | A DisplayThe first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect. |
| | ||
![]() | ![]() | A SourceWhile your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3. |
| | ||
![]() | ![]() | ContentIn order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience. |
| | ||
![]() | ![]() | 3D GlassesAll 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV. |
| | ||
![]() | ![]() | HDMI CableTo connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality. |

Internet-ready TVs use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content, whether it's streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today's weather forecast.
Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.
Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.
Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you'll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.
![]() | 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.

74 of 78 people found the following review helpful: By Robert Weinstein (Alameda, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mitsubishi Diamond Series WD-82838 82-Inch 3D DLP HDTV (Electronics) I purchased this TV to replace a Panasonic 65" Plasma TV. First of all let me say how delighted I am with Amazon's customer service and policies, when I first ordered the TV I mistakenly ordered the non-3D version of it, and did not realize my mistake until after it had been shipped to me. However, Amazon's policies on TV purchases made it possible for me to cancel the order and receive a complete refund! As far as the TV itself is concerned, the main drawback I have found is it's relative dimness when compared to the plasma TV it replaced. I really found it necessary to only use this TV in a darkened room to really appreciate it. The other drawbacks I found were 1) The TV was completely dead upon original installation, and even though I was using professional installers it took them an hour of messing with it trying to get a picture, before they called Mitsubishi customer service who advised them to unplug the TV, wait a minute or two, and thn plug in again to allow the internal...Read more 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Mitsubishi Diamond Series WD-82838 82-Inch 3D DLP HDTV (Electronics) I don't want to rehash all of the great things people have already said about this TV, simply put it has an amazing picture and is HUGE!

I was replacing a Mitsu WD-65833, and I wanted the bigger size for gaming/watching blu-rays. It's a great experience, there's nothing as immersive an 82" screen for Call of Duty Black Ops or epic blu-rays(Braveheart, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Lord of the rings, etc.). If you're never going to have a front projector w/ a separate home-theater room, this is da bomb baby. I'm the envy of all my friends, believe me. Do the top of the line Panasonic plasmas have a better picture out of the box? Yes. So do what I did-get it professionally calibrated by an ISF certified technician($300-$400). Since then I've no regrets whatsoever. The now near-perfect picture quality makes this set a must buy for gaming/home theater enthusiasts! BTW, I was able to talk Walts TV down even lower than their price listed here on Amazon which at this time is $3200...
UPDATE: Many people ask me what stand I use, as...Read more |
