Mitsubishi Digital Electronics
The new HDTVs are the largest microdisplay screens available,
yet have ultra-compact cabinets that fit into many home theater rooms.
“These 73-inch sets deliver a large display high-definition
experience that plasma can’t match,” said Max Wasinger, senior vice president
of sales and marketing for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “HDTV buyers
realize that bigger is better and that DLP technology delivers the best picture
out there. When they compare our size, features and performance to some of the
other options on the market, more and more people are choosing Mitsubishi
microdisplays.”
Mitsubishi’s WD-73732 and WD-73831 HDTVs create an immersive
experience from any signal, including over-the-air broadcast, cable or
satellite TV, as well as DVDs and video games. To deliver a perfect picture
every time, the sets are loaded with the most advanced features to date,
including PerfectColor™ and PerfecTint™, exclusive Mitsubishi features that
allow for independent color intensity and hue adjustment of six separate
colors. The new sets all use digital 12-bit video signal processing for a
sharp, clear and finely detailed picture that is sharpened even more by
Mitsubishi’s 4D Video Noise Reduction technology.
As with all Mitsubishi 1080p HDTVs, the WD-73732 and WD-73831
are featured with Tru1080p™ and therefore process 1920 x 1080p inputs without
down-conversion to deliver the full bandwidth of the incoming signal directly
to the screen for a true two million pixel image. Their unparalleled
corner-to-corner image uniformity and brightness is made possible by a larger
reflective DLP® chip combined with Mitsubishi’s patented
TurboLight™180 and high aperture lens system. TurboLight180™ focuses light to
the DLP® chip more efficiently, generating a 10 percent brighter
on-screen image than that produced by a standard 180-watt lamp system. What’s
more, TurboLight™ technology does not increase the amount of power consumed or
heat produced, so the life and performance of the lamp is not compromised.
The WD-73732 and WD-73831 maintain Mitsubishi’s commitment to
easy operation and functionality. Mitsubishi’s NetCommand® blends
control of IEEE 1394 digitally connected products and conventional
IR-controlled analog products into a simple icon-based control system, so the
entire home theater system is easily managed with a single remote control.
Connectivity is simple thanks to Mitsubishi’s ClearThought™
Easy Connect, which recognizes components as they are plugged in and displays
only active devices. The new models come with two HDMI™ inputs for a single
cable interface between an audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD
player, or upcoming Blu-ray Disc™ and HD-DVD™ digital video sources. The new sets’ IEEE 1394 (FireWire®)
multimedia connection enables low-cost, high-bandwidth real-time audio, video
and data networking between the TV and other consumer electronics products,
such as camcorders and HD-DVRs. Other features include three component inputs,
TV Guide On Screen®, a CableCARD™ slot and multi-format card readers
to display digital photos and videos.
