Projection TV: Reviews

The 65-inch Mitsubishi WD-65737 can't quite deliver the picture quality of the best flat-screen plasma or LCD TVs, but it does offer the biggest screen at the lowest cost. Blacks levels fall short of other technologies,… but colors are terrific. Rainbow effect (the appearance of multicolored shadows) bothers some, but the vast majority of viewers don't notice it. There aren't a ton of extras, but the ability to display 2-D material from a computer in 3-D with the aid of an extra-cost kit (*Est. $200) could appeal to some.

Front projectors aside, no other HDTV can produce a picture this big at a price this small. The WD-82737 is the big brother to the RPTV profiled above. Like the WD-65737, it has great colors but so-so blacks.… Additionally, both rear-projection TVs excel under bright lights, but fade when viewed from a sharp angle. Of course, an 82-inch screen is large enough to cover most viewing angles. On the other hand, not every room can accommodate a set this big. Mitsubishi also offers the WD-737 series of RPTVs in 60- and 72-inch screen sizes.
