We purchased our Mitsubishi WD-73727 a little over a year ago and couldnt have been happier with the purchase. Fantastic picture- like being at the movies all the time. Then in June of this year (2007)we noticed a halo effect creeping into the shadows of all the programs we were watching. We called for service under the warranty and were assured that the problem would be quickly taken care of. Three service calls and many calls to Mitsubishi later have left us with an unwatchable tv (the picture changes color and jumps all over the screen now) and a lot of broken promises from Mitsubishi. The service company blames Mits for not sending the needed parts and Mits just out and out lies to get us off the phone. We have since learned that there are a great many people with the very same problem as us, all with the same treatment from Mitsubishi. The store where we purchased the set is now dropping the whole line out of customer dissatisfaction and we here in mid-September have an uncertain prognosis for our $5000.00 purchase. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!!!!

I could not be more pleased with my purchase of a 73" Mitsubishi DLP television. The delivery was on schedule and the television was in perfect condition. The picture is outstanding.

The marketplace is just filled with high-def tv choices nowdays and each choice has its ups and downs. Being a DLP means this set will be affected by the rainbow effect. Still, a really good initial setup should minimize that. Im impressed by the wide variety of color adjustments this set boasts...rather than simply hue and tint you get individual color adjustments which should make for a very natural display when set up properly. As far as accepting or not accepting 1080p inputs is concerned its a non-issue right now since the Toshiba HD-DVD decks only put out 1080i and the Samsung Blu-Ray decks downcovert from 1080p to 1080i and then upconvert back to 1080p before sending the signal out...so neither of those devices sends a native 1080p signal out, anyway! Perhaps in a couple of years that will become a real issue, but for now it just isnt. If that is the only thing stopping you from buying this set, REALLY the only thing, then you should probably buy it. It is going to upconvert whatever signal it receives to 1080p and you will see as good a picture from your hi-def dvd player as with any other set on the market since all 1080p is, at present, upconverted.

This 73" TV has excellent video image. I wasnt able to get any 1080p source material showing on this since I didnt have any, but 1080i and 720p looked absolutely delicious. 73" is really too big (and the set is heavy) for most living rooms, but if you have a dedicated home theater with enough distance from the couch to the wall, this is just fabulous. Im not a sports fan but I have to admit watching sports on this is quite an exciting experience. I like movies and TV shows, and those with plenty of action sequences are done justice on this set. The price is right for such a gigantic TV, too.
I havent looked into the HDMI issue a couple other people brought up. Im putting off getting any next-gen hi-def DVD player until the format war settles.

The reason to shy away from this one? It does not accept a 1080p signal via HMDI. But, it does have a beautiful and bright image. Those that dont plan to upgrade to HD-DVD or BluRay (dont do it yet though, wait for 2nd generation players, the current ones seem slow to "boot up")in the next few years will be very happy with this set (until then).
If you are shopping for a TV this large, you are better off to wait a few months for some new models to come out. If you insist on a DLP television now, check out HP models. The 58" MD5880n and 65" MD6580n are able accept a 1080p signal via HDMI.

Wow, those 1st 2 reviews really are useless... Ill try to be brief but slightly less useless.
Anyway I researched this TV and was drawn to a 1080p display over 70"... about time the true HD stuff got big. The picture is excellent but like most DLP things can look a bit jaggy if you watch something with a lot of small moving parts, like say a basketball game. As with other DLPs this display struggles bit with that. The contrast is excellent with a very sharp picture. Colors seemed great.
The one tragic flaw that prevented me from getting this was that it wont receive from a 1080p source. Sorry but Im looking for something that will receive native 1080p from a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player (or PS3).
