This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-52327 – 52″ rear projection TV ( DLP ) – widescreen – 720p – HDTV monitor (Electronics)
This TV is huge and has great picture quality, and watching it is the perfect way to end the day. It hooks up easily with my DVD player and my laptop, does exactly what it’s supposed to do, is intuitive to use, and has never caused me any trouble.
I read the other reviews complaining about workmanship, but my TV is almost 4 years old and has had zero problems (even bulb failures). That’s even more impressive since I shipped it 3,000 miles across the country when moving and am sure it was jostled.
Things to note: the TV looks best when the overhead lights are dim, and it takes 10-15 seconds to turn on (which seems slow). Also, the sound quality is not the best available. However, I still give the TV 5 stars because these problems are minor and addressable, because I have a separate sound system, and because overall the TV has exceeded my expectations and was a great value for the price I paid.
One last point: Visitors are extremely impressed with this TV, because it looks sexy and expensive. If you a modest person, this TV could come across as more ostentatious than its smaller cousins. However, if you like the attention, the style points, and a fantastic viewing experience, this TV is for you.

Mitsubishi makes good TVs but this one is old. I have 2 purchased 6 years ago and served me well. OK if you found a new one very cheap and could live with it – i.e. around $300 NEW. Picture and sound quality is good but design is very outdated – 4 stars 6 years ago 1 star now. This is an old chunky DLP analog TV and won’t receive standard digital broadcast without a conversion box. Very slow turn on and turn off. Off course, not really high def either, 720p only. I have replaced lamps on both of them and one is dead now.

This is my first big screen HDTV. Initially I was excited about the prospect of having a big screen high definition tv. I paid my satellite company for the HD channels and HD receiver. The fact is from the variety of different HD channels, only a limited few are of any interest, for me at least. So I canceled the HD channels and now have the basic lineup. But since I still have the HD receiver I do get all local channels that program in HD. Which amounts to major broadcast stations primetime and news programs. Back to my review for the tv. I’ve had it for two years now and the picture shows great, I also bought the stand and it looks very contemporary. In two years I’ve had the bulb changed twice (first time 14 mos. and the next 8 mos.). So figure about once every year, give or take useage. And the bulb costs $169.00. I paid for a 5 year $329.00 extended warranty, so luckily it’s been covered. But after that I’m on my own. Unfortunately the tv speakers don’t work with my satellite, only the surround sound system is connected. It’s not been a big deal. So all in all for my first HD tv the 52″ size and the picture is what impressed me. My next tv I’ll have to research a little harder and find one that doesn’t burn through the bulbs so fast.
