2010 Mitsubishi 3D DLP Owners Thread (738/838 series) - Page 92

Yeah, mine showed up on the front stoop today as well. Applied for it on 10/4, so the 6 to 8 weeks proved pretty accurate. Arrived just in time for the firmware update tomorrow, but hey, it's two pair of free glasses. And I don't have a 3-D source to try them out anyway.

Guess I'll just sport my new look.

Is it confirmed that it's converting the signal to checkerboard? Because it doesn't need to that's for sure. The TV's 3d display is a resolution of 960x1080. It simply needs to convert the frame packed signal to Side-by-Side, and then extract each 960x1080 frame for each eye.

It still needs to interpolate checkerboard patterns to 1920x1080 for each eye and then scale them down to 960x1080, so converting frame packed to checkerboard first is quite a stupid idea, and an extra unnecessary step.

It did not for me. I'm using a Pioneer 1120 and it still won't work through the receiver.

Thats weird. I watch Directv's 3D channels through my Pioneer 520. I have the 3D adapter between the TV and receiver.

I'm sure it would work fine with the adapter. Apparently DirectTV hardcoded the EDIDs that are valid, and the only Mits is for the adapter. They would theoretically be able to easily fix it by updating their software.

I just double check to ensure i didnt receive such an email. I was expecting to thus my surprise when it arrived. Extra set of glasses would be nice. Guess you can always sell the converter and purchase additional glasses. Im hoping all my devices work without the need of a converter. DTV, PS3 & BluRay 3D player (yeah i know the PS3 plays 3D but bought the player before the update and perfer to use that over the PS3 plus a TON of online apps)

Time to set a 3-D source buddy
Recommended a PS3 allowing for both 3d video and games

FANTASTIC!!! Supports all 1.4a formats!

Man, who would have guessed this would hit before the donkey's running the starter kit promotion would deliver those starter kit boxes...

Out of curiosity what were your guys approval numbers? Mine was in the 600's and it showed I was approved on 10/19 and received a 2nd approved email on 11/3.

212 for me. Still haven't received mine yet. ;(

1262 here. Didn't receive my 3D Kit yet or a tracking number either. Mailed out the form on 10/25, got approval on 10/29 and I received the 11/3 e-mail that many of us reported earlier.

What state are you guys in (I'm in NY)?

That's the stand that I use for my WD-73838. it's decent

Apparently DirectTV hardcoded the EDIDs so if you add a 3D compatible AVR into the mix, the DTV box doesn't get the correct EDID and tells you your TV isn't 3D compatible

If you're running all your gear through a 3D compatible AVR, please let us know if DTV works without the need for the converter, that would be outstanding

same stand i have my 73838 on hangs over 5 inches on each side but still looks great also have my large center speaker underneath and also fits my bluray player fios box and reciever

Mine is early 900's, submitted on 10/17/10, approved on 11/3/10.

I'll be using it on the 65738, so it should fit nicely. I plan to put the center channel on the shelf under the TV. Hopefully everything fits on the shelves, some of the amazon reviews suggest that space is tight on the shelves.

I was 453 with approval email received on 11/3
Im in Florida

I posed this question within this thread.. Im currently running a Onkyo ht-rc160 which isnt 3d compatible. I was going to set it up anyway and see what happens. If it doesnt work, was going to upgrade my AVR

I purchased this TV stand

I had a previous stand supporting my 42" along with towers. This peice is great for the price, supports the 65838 and blends in nicely with my existing towers

PS..I just noticed my post count isnt growing with each post.. I should be well past 14 LOL

Got mine today. Number 226. Schweet!

Anyone with a 60" able to make a measurement for me? I would like to know how tall the flat back rises before it starts to angle towards the screen.

Looks like the Mitsubishi 3d kits are shipping from Georgia

Got my kit today as well. No shipping notice. This and the 12.06 upgrade tomorrow! Now if I only could get my 73738's vertical geometry looking better. Sigh. May be time to call in the service tech to see what they recommend.

I think I have decided on the 73-738 but have one last concern. I will need for the tv to sit on top of a 32" high cabinet. The couch is about 12 feet from the cabinet, and if I am measuring correctly my eye-level when sitting on the couch is around 45" off the floor. I know it isn't the ideal situation, but does anyone else have a similar situation where the tv sits higher than it should and if so how does it affect your viewing. Thanks for any and all opinions.

I gotta say wow. Just watched a little of the 3d demo disc and it looks great. No crosstalk whatsoever. Can't wait to ditch the adapter. :-D

I ordered my 65738 on 10/2, with matching stand, 1399 with hdmi and shipping included which I thought was a pretty good deal. I think it is a couple hundred more now.

I just received my approval email today but the status was approved on website a few days ago. Email states 2-3 weeks for delivery with email notification when shipped. My request # is 1978

#469 here in NC, & no sign of it yet..................... Maybe today!

With the price of the 82838 now in the $2500 range, its getting hard to keep my credit card in my pocket. But before I do has anyone upgraded from a Samsung ##A750 series LED DLP? I have the 67'" and I think its one of the best tv's I've seen. Would definitely like the extra 15". Would be using it with a PS3, Xbox 360, Time Warner HD cable, and a Pioneer Elite SC-05. Not even looking into the 738 series. For me the sound bar would come in handy since I hate powering up my whole system just to watch cable tv even if it is in HD. Thanks

You mind sending me a pm of who has it for that price!!??
