Firmware 13.06, released 3/19/2012, appears to address this issue directly.
IOW, using 13.06 appears to do the same as turning 3D Checkerboard Mode ON without some of the side effects.
More testing in progress...
For now, use these pictures to see what you are missing
without 13.06 (or 13.05 with 3D Checkerboard ON)
The defect. Sharpness at ZERO. Did you know Sharpness above 10 starts causing glowing edges? (Not shown here. The glowing edges you see here are different, and are the defect at work.)
With 3D Checkerboard ON - for a 2D picture. A clunky and dimmer workaround.
The normal picture with the defect. This is what you are seeing, though may not realize it. All sets have it.
With 3D Checkerboard ON - for a 2D picture. Boy does he look better. (Than the pic above, I mean.)
The normal picture with the defect. What you may not realize you are seeing on your set right now. All sets have the defect.

This OP is Under Construction. I'll be right back..
We'll provide detailed information on the defect, and tips for testing and petitioning here sometime soon.[/size][/b]
Feel free to PM ideas for this OP. We can finish creating the OP *together*.
Introduction
This thread was started to help owners understand, test for, and workaround a technical issue that degrades picture quality in 2011 Mitsubishi DLP sets, including the $4,000-$5,000 WD-92840. (The issue does not exist in 2010 or 2009 models.)
More information can be found in the owner's threads:
The 2011 Mitsubishi DLP WD-73640 official thread , where:
The 2011 Mitsubishi 3D DLP Owners Thread (740/840 series)
We have high hopes that Mitsubishi will soon fix this issue with a Firmware update.
A couple of us (current known count is 3) have reported the issue to Mitsubishi, but each individual should contact the manufacturer directly to let them know you want this fixed.
This first post has two parts:
1. An educational overview of the defect, and why you may not even have noticed it.
2. Simply steps to test your set and demonstrate your workaround here. What YOU can do to add up enough complaints that Mitsubishi takes action and makes the TV go from "Good sometimes, with serious PQ problems in others" to AWESOME ALL THE TIME.
Overview of the defect.
For now, see the links into the owner's threads, provided above.
