6-Color Light Engine
Mitsubishi's exclusive 1080p DLP® 6-Color Light Engine generates yellow, cyan and magenta directly for brighter colors, a wider range of colors and whiter whites.
NetCommand® IR
This exclusive Mitsubishi feature provides the user with a true one–remote control home theater system for analog products. NetCommand IR® provides on-screen control of analog-connected products such as your AV receiver, DVD player, satellite receiver, and VCR. To set it up, you simply “tell” the television what products are connected and “teach it” their IR (infrared) commands. The TV will then take control, eliminating the coffee table clutter of remote controls. It’s capable of learning most IR remote control codes from standard home theater products, rather than relying on a preprogrammed library of codes.
3D Ready
All Mitsubishi Diamond 1080p DLP HDTVs are "3D Ready." This feature allows you the ability to be immersed in your favorite video game, movie or sporting event. As more content becomes available in 3D, this functionality will develop into one of the most exciting HDTV experiences.

PerfectColor™
PerfectColor™ is an exclusive Mitsubishi feature that gives your customer the ability to adjust the intensity of six separate colors independently of each other and separately for every input. PerfectColor™ is a full color matrix, much more powerful than a conventional color intensity control with red versus green color balance.
Plush1080p™
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—with the highest quality possible. It scales the picture precisely, with minimal side effects. And 1080i, currently the most common form of HDTV signal, is spectacular at 1080p. The conversion is precise, resulting in previously unachievable detail and clarity. In short, Plush1080p™ technology makes everything else look better on a 1080p HDTV.
Tru1080p™ Processing
Keep your signal the way it was meant to be seen. 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.
4D Video Noise Reduction
Mitsubishi’s exclusive 4D Video Noise Reduction uses advanced algorithms to better identify video noise from fine detail and correct the signal rather than distort it. Video noise is caused by distortions in the video signal and makes the picture too look grainy or snowy. As signal resolutions improve with the introduction of DVD, digital cable/ satellite and HDTV, the loss of sharpness produced by most noise reduction circuits becomes more noticeable. Mitsubishi’s advanced 4D Video Noise Reduction corrects the image in four dimensions: horizontally, vertically, within each frame and across multiple frames to provide an image that is crystal clear and extraordinarily detailed.
DeepField™ Imager
DeepField™ Imager constantly adjusts brightness and contrast for optimum settings in all areas of the picture. It can even optimize complex scenes containing both dark and bright areas. DeepField™ Imager analyzes 135 sectors of the picture in real time. It determines the optimum blend of contrast and brightness settings within the picture using advanced Mitsubishi algorithms. Based on picture analysis it dynamically adjusts for areas that are too high or low in contrast and/or too dark or bright displaying the best balanced picture in every scene.
Video Modes: Brilliant / Bright / Natural / Game
Use the four picture video modes to adjust for optimum viewing in different room lighting and gaming applications. All modes are accessible via the VIDEO key on the remote control.

Great product, performs well with a great picture. It does lack a few amenities like PiP but its no biggie. Has plenty of connections for whatever you need.
Ignore complaints about this TV such as not having a VGA port and only one S-Video connex, these type of connections are ancient but if you still need them there are adapters for just such a reason.
Fritz, try a garage sell, they have OLD tvs with the OLD features you need.

Great resolution sharpness and tracking for playing xbox, PS3 and Wii games. Haven't tried HDTV yet but I'm sure it would perform just as well. My only complaint is that the TV is lacking a VGA input so one could plug a computer into it. The last 72'' JVC we bought had one and I'm about to get it back because of that. There is only 1 SVideo input. Rear connections can get confusing when utilizing the single SVideo input and matching up with the audio outputs but after the learning curve all was well. One major feature this TV is lacking is a split screen or picture in picture. Our last JVC had that feature and I could play my video games while the wife watched TV and that was cool but not with this model. Aside from the basically useless 3D glasses IR emitters (for only a handful of 3D movies that may actually exist- yet no info on what glasses to use) built in I think Mistubishi could have built in more priority features but overall it's a huge TV and you get what you pay for.

BUY THIS TV. If you want the clearest, sharpest, most stunningly beautiful picture, buy this set. It beats the LCD's and Plasma's hands down. Burn in is not a problem and the brightness will never fade. Even in a bright room the picture shows up fine and reflection is almost non existant. Can't say that about lcd and plasma. In four to six years when a plasma or lcd picture has faded, this set will still look bright and clear like it did on day one. When the picture bulb finally blows, replace it and you have a brand new set. Love it and glad I have one. This is a great price.

ATSC - Means 2009
Digital TV Ready
Buy with confidence that ATSC TVs are designed for the future! The ATSC Standard for Digital
Television (DTV) encompasses a number of Standards, Practices, and
Guidelines for Digital Television. What it means for today's television
consumer is that ATSC TVs are ready for the future! They comply with
the requirements for the transition to Digital TV sets and all digital
transmission to occur by February 17th, 2009. ATSC Digital Ready TVs
have digital tuners already. TVs and related Tuner products that are
not ATSC will require a separate digital tuner after the transition date.
How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer
electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on
TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can
accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of
additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in
a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will
automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In
addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote
point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that
automatically configure from a single command from a remote control --
turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or
watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or
1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to
manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality
in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working
with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing
version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products
support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a
variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio,
SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer
to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer
can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and
products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they
want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the
device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer
electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are
urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with
manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.
Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let
them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The
ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to
extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect
support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms
apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long
cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables
use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive
cables.
What Is
High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a
technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the
picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic. Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch
at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).
DVD are also in standard definition. Standard definition (480i & 480p)
is lower quality than high definition. Many older TV sets are standard
def, and can only show standard def content (programming). Many new
TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV). They are capable of showing
high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition
formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all. Click

A Quick Guide To TV Definition Terms
HDTV - (High Definition) television monitors reveal either 720 progressive
(720p), or a minimum of 1080 interlaced lines, known as 1080i. An HDTV will
show 540 lines at a time. These resolutions create extraordinarily sharp,
lifelike images as well as the truest and most vivid colors ever seen on
a television screen.
EDTV - stands for Enhanced Definition Television. EDTV monitors display
at least 480 progressive lines (480p). Because EDTV shows more lines simultaneously
than SDTV, its pictures are sharper, richer and more realistic. SDTV - Standard Definition TV is what’s rapidly becoming old-fashioned television.
Although SDTV offers a decent picture we’ve grown accustomed to, it
features up to 480 interlaced lines (480i), but can show only 240 of them
at any given time. Although SDTV produces a sharp picture and good color,
its performance is dramatically inferior to HDTV or EDTV.

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification. The wider
the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience. Viewing angles
above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the
front and off to the sides. However, viewing angles above 170° are
best! Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of
178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing
angles. LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user
experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the
demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing
experiences. Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage,
but by a small margin.
Viewing angles are not an issue with
projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen,
and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or
wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important
to choose the best screen possible.
