CNET Review

January 3, 2007

The Good: Produces deep blacks with excellent shadow detail; greatly reduced "rainbow effect" compared to other DLPs; resolves every line of 1080-resolution sources; plenty of picture control including fine-tuning for color and tint; excellent connectivity with two 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs and a 1080p DVI input; very compact design for a 65-inch HDTV.

The Bad: Expensive; inaccurate primary colors and initial color decoding and grayscale; no grayscale controls in user menu.

The Bottom Line: The Mitsubishi WD-65831 may be expensive, but its standout picture quality, sleek design, and superb feature set make it worth the price to high-end buyers.
