We bought this tv 2-2006 and as of 3-2007 it has been in the shop 3 times. the optical engine has been replaced twice as well as just about everything else in the set. now the hdmi module is gone. if it wasnt for the warranty the set would have cost us over 3,ooo dollars to fix. this is the last repair as the warranty will soon expire. we have had other mitsubishi sets without this problem. dont know what to get when this set goes which will probably be soon. aside from all the hardware issues the color sat on this tv is too intense.

We bought this set as a family Christmas present in 2005. It was deliverded just in time for college football at New Years. From the get go it has been difficult to work with. First getting a HD cable box from cable company took two weeks. Second, the picture kept going in and out. After many visits by cable company and the company we purchased it from it was okay. After this the picture once again began jumping in and out - cable switched out box which seemed to help. Next at about five months the projector bulb went out. Thankfully the sales person had highly recommended their in-house extended warranty which paid for it. The only problem was it took over a week to get the bulb. The current situation is at least once per week the TV has to be rebooted (unplug for 5 minutes) to clear a channel changing issue (picture goes to all gobbledy gook). Now waiting on company we purchased from to contact Mitsubishi to get to root cause of problem - cable or TV? 10/5 update - now have had to replace optical engine (heart of set). This set is completely unreliable - would not wish it on my worst enemy.

First, off, I have spent a long time researching as well as have returned several TVs for various reasons, and I finally settled on the Mitsubishi 52".
I chose this TV for several reasons. First, the 52 inch screen is large enough for what was looking to get out of a big screen TV, but its compact enough to fit a 50 inch tv stand (49.6 inches width). We had an entertainment unit that has a base of 50 inches and were contstrained by the size. If size wasnt an issue I would have had a tough time choosing b/w the Sony 50 inch SXRD and the Toshiba 56 inch tv, but both those two would not have fit. Secondly the 628 model (compared to the 627) has more evenly distributed light so you wont get the darkening of picture as you move out from the middle of the screen. And lastly, compare this picture to any of the other brands, and it is either equal or surpases any of the other 1080p TVs. I was surprised to see the Samsung 50 inch got some very good reviews, but if you put that TV and the Mitsubishi next to each other its not even a close comparison. Sports captions (i.e. the score or names that show up on the screen) are considerably more crisp on the mitsu. I like brighter pictures as well, and this just seemed to pop out compared to the other brands.
Overall, if you are in the market for a 1080p TV, this is by far a great choice. If size is not an issue, I loved the Toshiba 1080p as well. If price isnt an issue the Sony SXRD is great, but I did notice that when a very fast image crosses the screen, it did have a tendancy to freeze up a little. Not sure if that was just the signal or the TV, but I did not notice that with the Toshiba or the Mitsu with the same signal going to the TV.
