Mitsubishi WD57833 1080p DLP Projection TV

A bigger set doesn’t really have to be everything. At first, I thought the bigger the better. But not necessarily. You won’t need a 108-inch flat panel TV on your 120-inch living room wall. What you do need, whether you realize it or not, is an HDTV with 120Hz image processing for quicker frame rate conversion and blazing fast pixel response times.

Film is shot at 24 frames per second. And just about every movie disc you can buy is encoded at that speed. DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray at 24 frames per second. However, television programming runs at 30 frames per second and most TVs conform to that standard.

Fitting the 24-frame content to a 30-frame screen isn’t a very easy process. Known as 3:2 pulldown, televisions try to fill in the gaps evenly. This conversion process spreads out 24 frames into 30 by placing one frame on the screen three times and the next one after that two times, and repeating this pattern again and again.

This ultimately causes stutter and other visual artifacts that can ruin the illusion of losing yourself in a great movie. To further complicate things, some video content is recorded at 60 fps, such as certain modern special effects and computer animations, which tricks the 3:2 pulldown process and trips up transmission of the intended on-screen image.

Given that problem, I’m sure readers will realize the usefulness of a 120Hz television. The Mitsubishi WD57833 features this fast image processing technology that even 24, 30 or 60 frame content will be an absolute beauty.

120Hz image processing shows 120 frames per second, allows this TV to reproduce unconverted, evenly extrapolated 24 fps movie, 30 fps television, and 60 fps special effects programming, without the stutter and other clutter of 3:2 pulldown.

Without 120Hz image processing, some things will certainly be bigger, but they’ll still be just as blurry — especially on-screen text.

Furthermore, the WD57833 features six, instead of five, colors. Mitsubishi is taking color to a new level by supporting x.v. Color, the new HD color standard, and by offering its exclusive new 6-Color Light Engine. x.v.Color enables 80% more color than standard HDTV.

Mitsubishi’s 6-Color Light Engine generates yellow, cyan, and magenta directly, rather than by mixing combinations of the standard red, green, and blue (RGB) to create them. This more efficient process allows the television to display a wider range of colors — brighter colors and whiter whites. Additional color features such as Color 4D Video Noise Reduction, PerfectColor and PerfecTint allow for additional advanced color processing and adjustment.

PerfectColor is an exclusive Mitsubishi feature that gives you the ability to adjust the intensity of six separate colors independent of each other and separately for every input. Similarly, PerfecTint allows you to adjust the tint of six colors independently of each other and separately for every input. The result is Color Without Compromise.

Mitsubishi’s Tru1080p Processing maintains 1080p high definition signals as 1080p from beginning to end. All 1080p DVI-I, HDMI, IEEE 1394, and 1080p Broadcast signals are passed through with no down-conversions. The advancements of 1080p DLP technology for HDTV viewing deliver over 2 million pixels to you on-screen for a full and true 1920 x 1080 resolution.

With Mitsubishi 1080p DLP HDTVs, you can experience the best that high definition has to offer today and be ready to enjoy all of the 1080p sources that are on the horizon. HDTVs can display any video signal. For a 1080p HDTV, even the high quality 720p and 1080i HDTV signals being broadcast need to be reformatted in order to fill the TV screen with a sharp, clear picture. Mitsubishi developed Plush1080p technology to do just this.

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.

In addition, it also 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. The front of this unit sports both an HDMI port and a component input for quicker, easier connection of the latest HD gaming devices. With these advanced connection options, you won’t have to worry about compatibility with future components for quite a while.
