Mitsubishi WD57734 DLP-based HDTV

The Mitsubishi WD57734 is enclosed in a platinum black, brushed accent. It comes in with a compact casing that looks stylish and fashionable. This 57-inch monster is 13.9-inches deep , and while not as thin as plasma or LCD flat panel sets, won’t seem like a behemoth either. At 62.3 pounds, the set is also a lightweight compared to DLPs from only a couple of years ago.

Most of Mitsubishi’s sets right now features the x.v.Color support that encompasses more of the visible spectrum in anticipation of successive generations of new devices that are not quite so limited. The WD-57734 is no different as it also supports this feature. However, not all users will be able to notice this technological breakthrough as there are virtually no sources yet that take advantage of the technology. It is a good addition to have, and it doesn’t detract from the set at all.

Mitsubishi’s Easy Connect simplifies set-up and day-to-day use. During set-up, it recognizes each input as it is plugged in, prompts the user to name it, enters it into the Device Menu, and only shows used inputs. ClearThought makes it easy to find the desired input, which is handy since this set comes loaded with a number of inputs.

Speaking of inputs, this set provides four Simplay-enabled HDMI v1.3 inputs. HDMI 1.3 adds support for the new “xvYCC” high definition color standard, which removes current color space limitations and enables the display of any color the human eye can perceive. This set sports an additional three digital component video inputs as well.

More important also is the fact that this 1080p Mitsubishi DLP set utilizes the company’s 6-color light engine technology, which includes Color 4D video noise reduction and four pre-set video modes to ensure that you’ll see a great picture straight out of the box.

The 734 models feature Dark Detailer for deep blacks and color rich dark scene detail–so things don’t get washed away in shadows, even when you are watching in a room with ambient light.

This set also boast PerfecTint and SharpEdge technologies to further provide an image that is free of noise, and is very clear with crisp colors. A/V adjustments are memorized by input, as are the color temperature control, so you won’t have to worry about needing to continuing tweak the set when you change video sources. There are picture form modes for both 4:3 and 16:9 sources, while concerns such as static image retention or other ghosting issues won’t affect this set.

For movies and TV the built-in twin speakers, which are located at the bottom of the casing so as not to detract from the sleek frame of the set, provides a reasonably powerful 10 watts of power each. W
