Mitsubishi WD-60C9 Reviews

Great for the price
by Henry , 2010-07-04

The cost-benefit for this TV is amazing. Before I buy, I was not willing to consider a DLP, but due to good reviews and good price I've bought from Amazon and did not regret. Amazing acquisition for the price.

PROS
- Picture quality
- Conectivity
- PRICE, PRICE, PRICE (in fact near 1/3 of a equivalente size Plasma/LCD TV)

CONS:
- Not as thin as Plasma/LCD
- Could not be mounted on a wall
- Picture not as good as an LCD TV, but better colors.

Great TV, great price

The Good

# Beautiful 1080p picture
# Reasonably priced at $800
# 3 HDMI inputs, 1 coax
# No motion blur, no burn-in
# HDTV tuner
# Built-in universal remote (worked for both my Toshiba DVD player and JVC stereo)
# In-Depth color adjustments

# Much better horizontal viewing angle than my previous model (62" 1080i WD-62725)
# Remote control has improved form factor over previous model
# Unit isn't as deep as previous model
# Half the weight of previous model

The Bad

# No RCA, SVIDEO, or VGA inputs (no RCA??!!) instead 2 (semi-useless) component inputs
# No Picture-in-Picture
# No screen protector (reduces glare at the cost of decreased screen protection)

Additional Thoughts

Due to the lack of RCA and SVIDEO inputs, I couldn't hook up half my entertainment system without using an external video switcher. It seems like sheer idiocy to leave out RCA inputs since they are still the most common output method among video devices.

I had a hard time buying this item. I purchased from Amazon first and it arrived with a damaged screen. Amazon was out of stock so they couldn't refill my order. The refund took two or three weeks to come back. Bestbuy had one in stock but refused to ship to Cleveland. Finally I found the TV in stock at Dell.com and managed to save another $100 over the Amazon price but had to pay tax on top of it which came to roughly of half the savings.

Awesome HDTV that kills all others in Bang 4 your bucks.

This TV is awesome! I bought it site unseen based on other reviews and the positive reviews are correct.
The sound is more than adequate and the video is out of this world. I ordered the Component Wii cables from Amazon as well as a DVI to HDMI cable and an HDMI cable. Hookup was so simple. As soon as you plug in the device and turn it on the TV detects it and switches to the input. It then asks you to choose what it is for better reference.
I have a PC, Bluray, Wii, DVD ( I sure wish Bluray was more reliable with DVDs)and a Dish network DVR hooked up and still have room for another component on the side.
I can't stress enough how much of a better value this is than Plasma, LCD and LED.
A new Lamp is only $100 bucks and easy to replace on your own so it is still more cost effective then any other product.
It really does have a small footprint and is very light so don't let the DLP thing fool you.
This TV is a steal and runs on half the power of an LCD or Plasma.
Buy it!!!!

Great TV
by T. Albert from Las Vegas, 2010-06-19

We have owned this TV for four months now and we love it. The picture is amazingly clear and the HD channels are perfection. We got the deal of the century, $864 out the door brand new. I have not seen it less than $1100 delivered now. The sound is not the best, but its not bad. Blue-ray movies are unbeatable in my opinion. I saw LCD and plasma's next to these but I think overall this is the best buy and the best tv for us.

WD-60C9 Excellent choice!
by Alejandro from Miami, 2010-06-16

After taking my time to choose the right TV, I decided to go for a Mitsubishi DLP. I already had it home for almost 2 months I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Pros:
-Fair price
-Great size
-3D ready
-Good picture and adjustment settings
-Light Weight
-Good Sound

Cons:
-Bad viewing angles
-When connected to a PC the overscan will make you reduce the display format, or crop the resolution to fit the image

Other thoughts:
-Overscan issue can be fixed by changing the original format on the display and reducing it on the TV menu. Right now I'm running my PC at 1834x1034p which still is a High Definition resolution but it forces me to play some games at smaller resolutions since they don't support custom formats.
