Great picture out of the box using the standard setting with warm white. Using tools I learned about on AVsforum a few years back I was able to calibrate this set to nearly perfect specs. The Advanced user menus made the job very easy and the technology that this set has built into it made it possible to get the calibration almost exactly where the industry specs say it should be. The picture is now stunning, whereas out of the box it was just very good. Go here for more information.

I sometimes have to pick my friends and family up off of the floor when they first see this TV. The enormous size makes their jaws drop and the picture quality makes them not want to leave. My wife was ready to kick me out when she saw the size of the TV box; however, it seems she has changed her mind because she always wants to watch movies on this TV and invites our family, friends, and neighbors over to see it. This is an amazing HD TV that is 3D ready. The picture and color even on non HD channels are extremely good. Did I mention that this TV is 82″ and currently 65″ is the biggest you can get in 3D from a plasma/LCD TV? If you are looking for a quality TV that will make you feel like you are at sporting events and make your family think they are in a movie theater, then start popping popcorn and get this TV. It is by far the best TV I have ever owned. I am truly enjoying this TV and highly recommend it.

Have had the TV for ~2 weeks now and haven’t been able to watch for more than about an hour tops, and getting shorter. Apparently there is something wrong with the bulb/ballast. The picture just drops out and the green indicator turns solid red. The book says change the bulb. After the run around with Mitsu it took 5 days to get a new bulb and that didn’t work. Now I have to wait another ~4-5 days minimum to have a tech come out to look at the set. This was a common problem a couple years ago, would have thought they’d have fixed it by now. Unless I’m just lucky and got the one bad apple.
