Mitsubishi wd-62628

No one in my area seems to carry this 62" DLP HDTV. The local Sears is willing to get one in, but only if I pay for it--it's mine if they bring it to the store.

So, I'm curious. Has anyone seen one of these TVs? If so, how do they compare to Samsung's similar products?
 
i have the old 52539 and cannot tell you how great the picture on this thing is.

well worth the money, much better than the Sammy IMHO
 
yes I have seen them. I worked at a sears, so I have messed with all the settings and stuff. Personally, I prefer the Samsung. There were a few quirks with the mitsubishi that I just couldn't stand. I don't know if these were just a one unit flaw but they were definitely internal problems. For instance, MAJOR green push, I had to use their "perfect color" system to tone down the greens otherwise underwater scenes looked like they had algae in what was supposed to be crystal clear blue water.

The second flaw is thay my settings would be reset each time the TV was turned off.

Lastly, I couldn't even edit the color settings without going in and turning the "auto" setting off then back on...then off again. After doing that it would allow me to actually see colors changing as I edited them

Sure, these problems are are inter-related. But they annoyed me so much that I would be worried if I was going to buy a TV from them, even if they had fixed them.

Granted, their picture is quite good once calibrated, if you are able to...

Thanks for the opinion, but I have a question. You say you "worked" at Sears. Does that mean you are talking about an older 720p model, or are you refering to the new 1080p?

I wonder if they took care of these issues with the new model.
 
is this the 62" DLP/1080p model? With the built in hard drive dvr type device?

There's one at my parents house :Q

Yes. And no. Lots of image processing capability, but no dvr.
