Mitsubishi WD-65831 Review

Mitsubishi combines its stylish designs and state of the art performance technologies to give us TV’s they call ‘Diamond’. Mitsubishi’s WD-65831 is 65-inch DLP-based RPTV. Although its overly expensive, its still a nice catch when compared to other products with the same size and features. As mentioned, Mitsubishi prides the design and the looks of their products. Big-screen TV’s doesn’t generally do well in the looks department, but this one might be an exception. The highlight is the set’s extremely thin bezel around the screen, which allows this big HDTV to take up less room. The Mitsubishi measures 58.5×40.8×19.8 inches and weighs a comparatively feathery 99 pounds. The cabinet is entirely glossy black, with a subtle strip of charcoal-gray speaker grille that runs along the bottom of the screen. Below that is a couple inches of pedestal base, rounded along the edges, with a flip-up door fronted by the Mitsubishi logo.

The WD-65831 sports the standard A/V inputs with composite and S-Video, firewire jack that can connect to IEEE 1394 devices (this includes camcorders and digital recorders), media card slots and the manual controls if ever you happen to bust the remote.

But what is Mitsubishi without performance? The WD-65831 sports its DLP-based light engine that is used by other 1080p DLP televisions. Aside from that, a six-color color wheel is integrated to the product to separate filters for secondary colors. That in result produces a much improve color reproduction. As a 1080p native-resolution display, the WD-65831 can resolve every detail of 1080i and 1080p sources, and all other sources are converted, as usual, to fit the pixels.

They also included an array of excellent convenience features such as a two-tuner, split-screen picture-outside-picture feature that lets you view two shows at once. It also includes PC-with-HDMI and component-with-HDMI. In addition to the ATSC tuner and CableCard combo, Mitsubishi adds the TV Guide onscreen EPG to make the loss of your cable box’s EPG sting a little less. The set can also read memory cards to play MP3 or WMA music files and display JPEG picture files.

On to the picture. The Mitsubishi WD-65831 produces great pictures with brilliant quality, but it does need a bit of time for you to set up in order to get its maximum performance. It solidly performs in displaying blacks and shadow details. It generates sharp images from 1080-resolution sources.

The Mitsubishi WD-65831 may be a little bit pricey. But the quality and sleek design you get from this television is definitely worth the price.
