Mitsubishi WD-60638 60-Inch 1080p 3D-Ready DLP HDTV desktop
First Impressions.
You get an absolutely beautiful picture. I believe it is better than a pixelated LCD or a glassy/shiny Plasma. Let me be clear, LCD and Plasma produce great pictures.
But…
Can you find them at a 60 inch size (or more) for less than $1,000? Don’t even think about 24p HD viewing and 120hz refresh. That makes this TV an excellent value. You get lots of features with a HUGE viewing size, for a great price.
Advantages.
After tweeking the picture, it looks very good, very natural. You get good speakers with this TV, if you choose not to connect your own surround sound. I use Klipsch speakers and can highly recommend them!
Automatic connectivity theme makes connecting and changing inputs easy.
Setup and tweaking the colors right is not difficult. Try the perfectcolor feature.
While this TV has a huge screen, every pixel is shown in HD or Bluray. It produces a smooth and natural picture (color is deep and thorough). Just be sure to adjust your settings to get the picture you want.
Basic SDTV looks surprisingly good compared to some of the LCD and Plasma competition I have seen.

Disadvantages.
THE REMOTE SUCKS! The only positive is a light shows when it is pressed.
You get a narrow viewing angle for ideal color and focus. For me, the ideal location is directly facing the set and a minimum of about 8 feet from the screen. If you move to the side, the picture is still good but degrades as you move off-center.
Light reflections show which distracts from the picture since it uses a plexi-screen. I don’t believe it is as bad as what you get with Plasmas.
Some inputs are lacking (aka S-video) but buying adapters can solve this problem.

3D.
I watched 3D and was shocked. It is much better than I would have expected. The 3d effects were great! I watched Jim carreys christmas carol for 15 mins.
It has been reported that 3d on dlp only displays half res. on each eye. For me, it was hard to notice. For 3D, bigger is always better.
Bottom Line.
This set is easily the best choice for anything under 1,000$. In fact, you could include up to $1,300. You need a lot of wall space for this TV, but I guarantee it will not dissapoint.

My Mitsubishi WD-60638 arrived November, 2010. It came with a 3d starter package. I watch 3d movies using a Sony BDPS770 3d player and it works great.
Comcast has 3d content, so decided to give it a try. They enabled 3d format but it shows side by side or over/under images WITH 3d enabled!
How do I fix this?
You need a Mitsubishi 3DA-1 3D Adapter Pack
Make sure the TV is in 3D mode.
Go through the 3DA-1 3D modes.
I turned off everything and waited a few minutes. It still doesn’t work with Comst (works fine with the bluray player).
Comcast connects to cable box. Cable to TV HDMI. HDMI to Bluray player to 3d converter box. 3d converter box to TV HDMI.
Thanks for any help!
