Mitsubishi WD-52525 52 in. HDTV DLP TV

Once you have seen HDTV, you will never go back. DLP technology is cheaper than Plasma and you never have to worry about burn in. I purchased this TV from Best Buy a couple of weeks before the Superbowl. Several months later and I am still in awe of the picture quality. There are multiple things to brag about and there are a few things that could be better. Let's do the bragging first. Picture quality is top notch. Contrast, brightness, and color are perfect right out of the box. Unlike traditional Rear projection televisions, you do not have to sit directly in front on the set to get a great pictures. The wide angle view of the TV is phenominal. I have not needed to make any major adjustments to the TV. Setup was easy. I do not have cable or a satelite. I hooked the TV up to a large "traditional" antenna that I have in my attic. It picks up stations wonderfully. One advantage of digital is that it is either there or not, there are no "fuzzy" stations. On the flip side, if the station is not coming in, you won't even get a bad picture. There are multiple hookups in the rear of the set. You can hook S-Video, Component, Coaxil, RGB, or HDMI. There is also a full set of inputs on the front of the TV, with a multi card reader for looking at digital photos or listening to mp3s. All these features work easily without any real computer knowledge. Plug in your card from your camera, switch to the corresponding input and you've got an instant slide show. Another neat feature is Picture on Picture. It differs slightly from Picture in Picture. You can do split screen, with one, 3, or 9 images on the split side. Or you can have the traditional PIP and place the picture anywhere on the monitor that you want. Mitsubishi TVs come wet Net Command and a built in TV guide-like system. It works occasionally, but I think it has more to do with what the TV stations are broadcasting rather than the TV. It can only display the information that the stations tell it.
In the 5 months that I've had the TV I have only a few complaints. At first the TV would cut off or lock up (I couldn't change channels, volume, etc.). One call to Mitsubishi's customer service and they sent me an upgrade in the mail that solved all the problems. Sometimes in the middle of the day, a glare through the windows can make the screen difficult to see. Placing the TV in a dark room, or having good blinds can solve this problem. The only other problem I've had has been the slowness in which the channels change. Again, I don't think this is particular to the Mitsubishi line. I've noticed all HDTVs change channels slowly. There is a few second pause between each channel change. This can become annoying for the channel surfers. I think this "negative" has actually been a positive for my wife. I don't change the channel nearly as often as I use to. Now I look it up on the TV guide and directly access the channel.
