Almost Great,
I purchased this TV to replace a Panasonic 65″ Plasma TV. First of all let me say how delighted I am with Amazon’s customer service and policies, when I first ordered the TV I mistakenly ordered the non-3D version of it, and did not realize my mistake until after it had been shipped to me. However, Amazon’s policies on TV purchases made it possible for me to cancel the order and receive a complete refund! As far as the TV itself is concerned, the main drawback I have found is it’s relative dimness when compared to the plasma TV it replaced. I really found it necessary to only use this TV in a darkened room to really appreciate it. The other drawbacks I found were 1) The TV was completely dead upon original installation, and even though I was using professional installers it took them an hour of messing with it trying to get a picture, before they called Mitsubishi customer service who advised them to unplug the TV, wait a minute or two, and thn plug in again to allow the internal computer to reset itself. Secondly, I am using the TV with a Sony PS3 as it’s 3D input, and after hooking everything up, I was unable to get a 3D image. When I called Mitsubishi, they told me it was necessary to return the PS3 to Sony for a firmware update. This was not true. After reading reviews of other 3D TVs I found it was only necessary to properly set up the display properties in the Playstation settings menu. Once all this was done, I found the overall experience to be absolutely breathtaking with both Blu-Ray 3D movies and the Avatar 3D game. I am using the Mitsubishi shutter glasses and the overall experience is much better than with the red/blue or polarized glasses you are given in the theaters showing 3D movies. I recommend this TV if you want the size and are able to darken the room you are using it in. I have never watched a 3D plasma set so I cannot comment on whether their 3D is as impressive as on this set.

Outstanding Picture,
I don’t want to rehash all of the great things people have already said about this TV, simply put it has an amazing picture and is HUGE! My wife calls it obnoxious because of it’s size……darn right it is and I LOVE IT!
Here are my Advanced Settings:
Picture Mode = ADV
Deep Field Imager = ON
Super Resolution = HIGH
Edge Enhance = ON
Video Noise = HIGH
Brightness = 45
Contrast = 60
Color = 31
Tint = 31
Sharpness = 10
Gamma = 2.2
Red High = 933
Green High = 970
Blue High = 1023
Red Low = -1
Green Low = 1
Blue Low = -1
Blue Only = OFF (obviously)
Red Adjust = 16, 0, 0
Green Adjust = 0, 17, 0
Blue Adjust = 0, 0, 15
Magenta Adjust = 16, 5, 15
Cyan Adjust = 0, 20, 15
Yellow Adjust = 15, 15, 0
Film Mode = AUTO
Smooth 120 = ON
Lamp Energy = STANDARD
This will give you a very good picture for just about every type of video, TV show, movie, DVD, etc.

Worth every penny…,
I had this set delivered 11/6/10 from Walt’s TV(ask for Miles, he’s a real pro). I was replacing a Mitsu WD-65833, and I wanted the bigger size for gaming/watching blu-rays. It’s a great experience, there’s nothing as immersive an 82″ screen for Call of Duty Black Ops or epic blu-rays(Braveheart, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Lord of the rings, etc.). If you’re never going to have a front projector w/ a separate home-theater room, this is da bomb baby. I’m the envy of all my friends, believe me. Do the top of the line Panasonic plasmas have a better picture out of the box? Yes. So do what I did-get it professionally calibrated by an ISF certified technician($300-$400). Since then I’ve no regrets whatsoever. The now near-perfect picture quality makes this set a must buy for gaming/home theater enthusiasts! BTW, I was able to talk Walts TV down even lower than their price listed here on Amazon which at this time is $3200…
UPDATE: Many people ask me what stand I use, as picture height is a concern w/ a screen this size. I’m very satisfied with & recommend the Plateau CRX-2V64. You can google it or try Stands Online.
