The TV is not too large. Other Thoughts:. It is not a great choice for brightly lit rooms or severe off angle viewing. For those people who complain about the possibility of needing a new bulb, or that it will become a cost issue over time, I say this. Cons: . As for PC Monitor use, really, I don't think any display is perfect. With the DLP, it's like after the first few seconds, the TV isn't there and all you see is the picture.
I like my big screen. Final thought. Colors are so spot on, it's amazing. Having slightly less room, I decided to go with the 60", in addition for cost reasons. It's hard to explain and you won't see this in a store.
I run 120DPI in windows, and also 150% text in browser. The TV is just too far away for text viewing. Some setup is required. Not and like it anyhow. If I bought 10 spares today, I'd still have less money in my TV than my friend has in his LCD that's almost a foot smaller. I do not notice any shimmering on this TV as I do on LCD. Not to mention, they're so small. I would never have guessed that after a month of viewing, this TV would look small enough that I wish for something 4 times this big.
The 735 series has no front HDMI, though I don't care in my situation. Very short periods of looking at an LCD give me serious eye fatigue. This is a major plus on Samsung and Mitsubishi DLP Televisions. I am so pleased with this television, I almost secretly hope it dies shortly out of warranty, just so I can justify getting a projector. I know that I could easily enjoy a 100" screen at this distance.
Since I am primarily a movie watcher, PC gamer, all other aspects of the TV are pretty much secondary to me. I have no issues whatsoever. If it costs me $100 a year to keep this TV refreshed and looking new, then so be it. As a PC display, I like this TV, but, there are some handicaps that must be addresed with video card drivers if you are really fussy about filling in the edges of the screen perfectly.
In 25 years of making household purchases, I have never been so happy with a consumer electronics purchase, as I am with this one. (which cost more than twice as much btw). Also, the fact that DLP does not "Burn In" is another plus. Even at that distance, I can clearly see brightness change when sitting vs standing. If I were to be forced to choose a different display and display type to replace this unit right now, it would be a DLP Front Projector.
Keeping a spare bulb on hand is probably a good idea if missing a few days viewing might be a problem. Running an all black desktop in Windows I'm told is an issue because that is sending all the lamp power to the light dump instead of to the screen. Height is critical when viewing this sort of display if you intend to be very close, which I am in my setup. Once you get one of these in your home, and don't have these other overly bright displays clouding your judgement, you'll find viewing on a DLP VASTLY superior to a flickery LCD or HotWax looking Plazma. Even if it does not, I'll also have a projector within the next 2 years. Like that, it's useable.
It's not as bright, it's 'softer'. These are not the red/blue filter glasses, these are active and actually have an interface to the television. This type of Display is unique in that, if you go to a store and look at them in daylight, in a brightly lit store, with LCD's and Plazma's all around, you'll think nobody would want a TV like this. This sort of display has reduced angle viewing vs a LCD or Plazma.
I'm not sure if that causes a heat issue or not, but I tend to keep mine displaying a light color all the time, so as to keep the heat to a minimum. Don't forget, with a DLP, you get to purchase the wireless LCD Glasses and play games like Call of Duty4 in 3D. And, I think, while a DLP isn't as bright, it does a lot nicer job in dark passages than will an LCD. First, at this time, straight from Mits, a new bulb is less than 100 bucks. It's also sensitive to vertical angle changes, even more so than side to side. As long as you're distant from the TV, viewing height will not be an issue.
Long term (marathon movie sessions) on this display are not fatiguing at all to my eyes, like other much brighter displays. His unit now is over 2000 hours and still looks like new. I think of it more like being IN the movie, rather than outside it. Especially in the rather small house, and small rooms I've got to view in. My brother had his last projection TV for 10 years and never put a bulb in. I'm interested to see if there's jitter on my TV with it. I view from only 9-10 feet.
With Plazma especially, I find myself spending more time watching the TV, than I do the movie that's being played on it. It's not troublesome, but, is a bit tricky unless you visit some forums and ask folks how to set things up. The picture is so natural and smooth, it's incredible. I use a Home Theater PC for playback and DVI-HDMI for video. If my 9-10feet seems too close, it isn't. For reading small text, it's just not likely that anyone will use their LCD, DLP or Plazma for this purpose.
As a theater piece, it will be important to set the height correctly for your viewing position if you want the most vibrant picture. This isn't a TV issue really. Also, I genuinly like mine better. I'm a bit sensitive to that and watching one of my own BRay movies at a friends house on a 52" LCD with a PS3 player, I can honestly say, any hint of buyers remorse vanished when I saw his new display. I think I prefer the color representation from the PC better than standalone players.
My Brother owns the 73" version of this television, and I've been very impressed with that. If that's a must for you, go to the 736 or higher. I still would not say ideal for long term everyday use. PC / Console Gaming on this thing is simply outstanding. This isn't an issue to me because I just don't care. Tonight in fact, his PS3 is coming to play back on my TV so we'll see how that works out.
Bulbs for these are not the $250 they were for units years ago.
But I often find my youngsters using the TV volume and it sounds just fine. And 60" HD for the price, I can buy a few bulbs and still be way ahead of, the game of economics. The picture looks real good at 480i (dishnetwork std transmission) but looks super with there HD package. Very happy with this purchase, looks so good that it's easy to spend a lot of time in front of this TV. The sound on the set is fine for my three sons and I, although I prefer to use the stereo reciever with the room surround sound.
I've had the 60735 for about 3 weeks now and I am very happy.
Setup was very easy and the picture is fantastic in HD.
Standard definition picture quality is just acceptable, but that's expected when comparing to 1080p.
I got mine from Best Buy for $999 which is a great price for a TV of this size and quality.
The only negative is that you get some very mild "rainbow effect" when watching videos with lots of whites and blacks, but that goes for any single chip DLP.
If it wasn't for this, I'd have given 5 stars.
Hooked up our Wii and it looks great too.
The sound volume is a little weak, but the quality is good.
We priced TV's everywhere. This was cheaper and easier to have it arrive at the house with ease.
I have to say that the picture quality along with the large screen and the cost. I am please beyond words and am not missing the LCD. I had my heart set on a 50 inch LCD full HD but after my 9yr old nephew destroyed a neighbors brand new LD LCD, my wife insisted on another projection since our 2 year old son enjoys throwing things at the screen as well. I had a Hitachi projection TV that after 6 years broke and the repair cost did not justify repairing it. After looking at all the sets out there we decided on the 60 inch dlp. go figure.
