Description:
The Mitsubishi WD-73835 is a 73-inch, rear-projection TV.
Compared to other rear-projection TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $3,790.
Pros:
Has a 73-inch screen size.
This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.
With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.
(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)
Cons:
None noted, given available product data.
Suitability:
A rear-projection TV, suited for home theater.
In general, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value:
Overall, this TV's price seems a bit steep, with respect to its features.
In terms of viewable size, rear-projection TVs having similar viewable size have an average cost of about $2,830.
