Mitsubishi WD-73C9 73-Inch 1080p DLP Home Theater

Actually purchased this set from [...] on a promo including the matching 73" stand from Mits. I'm honestly surprised Costco sells any DLP sets considering how dark their picture setup was on the sales floor. I bought it 2 months ago based on the confidence taken from prior buyers experience, my own experience w/ a 2004 Samsung 61" DLP, and lastly, the review of a similar model 65" Mits in the Sept 2009 issue of Home Theater Mag.

When I got it setup and began trying to adjust the picture settings to my liking, I couldn't seem to find the right combination to suit me. Fortunately, Home Theater Mag's article gave the precise user settings they employed during their testing. I tried them and, voila, excellent picture. I actually feel the picture exceeds my prior Samsung's quality, and I always raved about it.

If you are happy with a 50" or smaller picture, consider all formats. But if you are drawn to a true movie experience combining picture excellence with low...Read more

I got the 73" C9 3 days ago. Blu rays, xbox 360, and HD DVR are all AWESOME on it. There are tons of tweaks to picture, color, etc.

The C9 has the same 2 settings that the 737 supposedly had exclusive (deepfield imager and sharp edge) from the C9 series.

The C9 appears to be the exact same TV as the 737 but with different marketing (big box stores, discount model etc).

It is a huge and beautiful screen right out of the box, my wife made me tone it down a bit. I love big bright colors and she doesn't. So I changed a few settings here and there and got a happy medium for both of us. But when I play xbox 360 I crank that baby back up to brilliant on the game mode and it looks very very nice!

Don't be fooled into buying Mitsubishi's more expensive 73" model. Check out the specs. Download the manual. This is the same TV/monitor that goes for twice the price. You will find this mentioned in one or two other reviews.

Amazon delivered the unit on time (as usual... Thank you Amazon!), and the guys set it exactly where I wanted it, plugged it in and tested it. Who could as for more in a free delivery?

This monster sits at the end of my king size bed. Excessive? I don't watch television, but I review videos and films, so I require a good monitor.

Know one thing. Any other set this size that is not rear-projection DLP, will cost thousands of dollars more. In my opinion, this set rivals anything else available for contrast, sharpness, brightness and color reproduction.

However, a caveat: If you have excellent eyesight, which I am blessed to have, you will notice the screen "crawl"... microscopic movement caused by the tiny...Read more
