My old Sony 65″ projection TV needed repair and the estimates were high enough to justify getting rid of the 7-year old TV and looking for a replacement. Since I had a wall niche to place the TV in; the depth of the TV was not as important to me as it might be to many others. As a result I did look at DLP projection TV’s as well as LCDs & plasmas. After narrowing my choices down to another 65″ TV; my choices were pretty well limited to Plasma or DLP. When I found that I could get a 3D ready TV with built in surround sound with the Mitsubushi WD-65838 for under $2000; I was hooked. I received the TV this past weekend. I don’t have it connected to a Blu-ray player yet but will update this review once I’ve tested it our. For now, the cable reception is beautiful and the TV is easy to set up and adjust. I’ve connected a subwoofer to the TV and the sound is great without a bunch of audio equipment or additional remote controls. I’ll be looking forward to playing some Blu-ray regular and 3D dvd’s in the future.

I have had the set for 2 weeks and really like it. The picture once tweaked is great, the sound once configured is excellent, really no need for me to even use my old surround sound system.

The 3D is fantastic I have a Panny BDT350 that does Checkerboard out so no need for a converter. I purchased the Xpand glasses and they also work great with the set.

This set is a great value, and does everything advertised. The built in VuDu works well, and all VuDu apps. are great.

All in all Mits has really delivered a Great TV at a fair price. I am really pleased. The things that are truly important, the Picture the Sound and the 3D, really work well. I cannot wait for more 3D content to be available. My only knock on the set is the remote…and the interface, once you get use to it….it is fine. I use the Netcommand feature, (I had the IR cables from my old Mits 55859) and that works well, I just cannot seem to get it to turn on my AVR, it will adjust the volume but not turn on or off automatically. Like I said I really do not have a need to use it as the sound produced by the set is excellent.

I had a 2005 model WD52825 television that gave me alot of problems and after numberous repairs, mitsubishi finally gave up and offered me this TV as a replacement. The picture quality is great but the sound is not great at all even with the 16 speakers…. save yourself the extra cash and get the 738 model and buy a standalone speaker system. i have it hooked up to the yamaha rxv663 with the klipsch quintet speaker system with the klipsch 12″ sub.. with great sound complimenting my great picture quality.. I don’t need to go to the movie theatres anymore. I’m just waiting on my 3dc-1000 3d kit system. I love this TV so far..
