The Mitsubishi WD-73640

The Mitsubishi WD-73640 is a budget rear-projection TV with a budget TV remote control. For a low-priced TV, it does have a very large screen and a decent picture. It is also 3D ready, which is great for anyone who wants that feature, but cannot afford to spend the big bucks on a LCD. Though the pros are worth it, some of the cons of this TV might give you pause.

Mitsubishi is the last brand manufacturing this style of TV. Though the technology is old, it still creates a decent picture for little money. However, the lack of features is a sticking point for many potential buyers. The TV does not support smart TV, and it does not offer advanced picture controls. The factory remote is also lackluster. It is a black monolith with few buttons, which has been reviewed as clunky. Most buyers would benefit from a replacement universal remote that offers more features.

Pros:

  • Low cost for a large 73″ screen
  • Decent picture
  • 3D ready

Cons:

  • Lack of features
  • Rainbow effect
  • Lamp replacement is common and expensive

Bottom Line:

If you place importance on screen size over features, this TV is for you. However, most buyers generally do not feel this way. The picture is good for the price, but if you end up with the rainbow effect, the TV will end up unusable. There are significant issues with this particular line of TVs, but not as many issues as some LCD/LED models.

The Sharp Elite PRO Series HDTVs

The Sharp Elite PRO series HDTV is a great higher budget TV that offers picture, features, and an excellent TV remote control. This HDTV has LCD display technology with active 3D technology. The 120Hz refresh rates with dejudder processing offers a smooth picture, even during intense action scenes.

The bezel of the Sharp Elite series is a slim 1.25 inches. It looks like a black monolith with a perfect rectangle shape and black stand. The series comes in 60 and 70-inch models, both of which are exactly alike. The remote offers up a decent amount of keys, but it is not cluttered with the addition of a flip up cover on the bottom end. It has a dedicated Netflix key and three other programmable keys.

Pros:

  • 3D technology with 2 sets of 3D glasses
  • Local dimming LED backlight that actually works
  • Built-in Wi-Fi with Aquos Advantage Live
  • Great black levels and excellent contrast
  • Superior picture viewing from all angles
  • Excellent video processing
  • Great shadow detail
  • Excellent feature selection
  • Energy efficient

Cons:

  • Overpriced
  • Less accurate color than expected
  • Screen creates too bright of reflections

Bottom Line:

This is a great TV to own, but the price makes it a less worthwhile purchase. For such a large amount of money, you could purchase a TV with more features, or a larger screen. However, it would be hard to match the picture quality. Even with the high price, a lot is offered with this HDTV. It is a good consideration for a television if there is nothing else comparable in the market, but with new TVs slated to come out in the summer, waiting might be the best option.

All about the LG LM7600 Series

A television used to only be as good as its TV remote. However, this concept has long since passed with the advent of the HDTV. Now, the remote only does half the job, and the other half is based upon the specifications of the TV itself. With that said, the LG LM7600 series is a pretty good LED HDTV.

This LM series is noted for having much better picture quality than the LM6700 and LM9000 series. This makes it highly recommended among reviewers regardless of some of the things it performs poorly on. It also comes feature-packed, including a motion-control remote. The Smart TV apps are extensive and are worth a look. The full feature package really makes this TV worth the higher-budget price.

Pros:

  • This LG TV has great picture quality.
  • The black levels are very deep, unlike most LED TVs.
  • 3D quality is excellent.
  • The remote is highly customizable.
  • Excellent content on the Smart TV suite.
  • Comes with six pairs of 3D glasses.

Cons:

  • The screen uniformity is poor for such a premium HDTV.
  • Color is not as accurate as it should be.
  • Sometimes artifact will show during 3D use.

For its picture quality, this HDTV is a good one. It does have a few downsides, but the benefits far outweigh them. This LG model is very nice looking in any room and comes in several sizes, which works out for someone who does not have a solid size in mind.
