I thought I'd let other owners of the 60638 know that the Playstation-branded universal 3D glasses that are widely available work like a charm with this TV.

When I bought my TV I also got the Mitsubishi 3D starter pack and have been enjoying 3D for over a year now... but just last week I clumsily dropped a pair of my glasses on the hardwood floor and shattered one of the lenses.

I wanted to get a new pair quicklyI had just gotten Hugo on blu-ray 3D!but I didn't have a lot options locally. I saw that the Playstation glasses, which most Walmarts carry, supported "most" Mitsubishi models, so I thought I'd gamble and see if they work.

So far, I think they blow the ones that came with my starter pack out of the water. I don't have to crank up the brightness anymore to watch 3D, and though ghosting and crosstalk was minimal at most before, now I don't see it at all. Plus, if you've got a PS3 like me, you can plug 'em in via USB to charge.

Highly Recommended, and they're only around $55 on Amazon.

Hello. Over the last few months my TV has been flickering. And, it seems to be getting worse. Could it be from the lamp failing? The TV does not do it all of the time.

Like a strobe light very fast?

Or the whole screen flickers ?

I had the strobe effect fast dimming/flickering

They changed the light engine

Call Mitsubishi

They will start with changing the light engine

Try getting them to send u a lamp first

The light engine which includes the color wheel, that seem to have fixed my problem
But last year a new lamp got rid of the strobe

Not that I can tell. BUT

I've been using Lucid's picture settings from this forum. Most of the time I watch all my blu-rays on the Brilliant setting, but with these glasses it seems like 3D content has a slight bit more pop using the Bright setting.

On another note, while shopping for some speaker stand on Monoprice, I came across these super-cheap glasses, that apparently work with the 638 series.

Anybody tried them out?

They only work with the Mitsubsihi TVs if you have the IR emitter that was included with the Mitsubishi 3D Starter Kit, model 3DG-1000 - the one that sent Samsung IR protocol. These glasses will not work with the new models of Mitsubsihi with then internal IR emitter or with the IR emitter that comes with the new glasses kit model 3DG-EX103. Mitsubishi switched over to the M3Di IR protocol - Panasonic based - to start moving forward and align with the majority of IR glasses in the future.

i tried them tator..those were similar to the ones i was using for the past year or so. I liked them but i never liked how yellow and orange looked on brilliant. which is a shame considering these tv's have a 6 color processor of which one of the colors is yellow. i think bright looks more natural.

Most would agree that the most realistic and accurate color and picture is in the Natural mode, with color temp Low (that's why it's called Natural). While still not perfect until calibrated, these TVs are capable of a very amazing picture if set up correctly. Yellow should be yellow, orange should be orange, etc, etc. If they look wrong, it's because they are set wrong.

Of course, everyone is free to fiddle with the switches and twist the knobs however they want. It's called reference vs preference.

I expected that response, and you're welcome to your opinion.

Many people are drawn to the oversaturation and brightness at first. In comparison, the proper settings will look dull, just as a room looks dark and dull when one comes in from the bright sunlight.

Even LCDs and plasmas look dull at first when not cranked up in torch mode. Remember, even though the speedometer goes to 120mph, doesn't mean a car is supposed to be driven at 120mph. One may grow tired of neon green grass and red or orange people after awhile. I got tired of football jerseys not matching the team colors that I saw in the stadium.

Try it for a week. Natural, Low, and with contrast turned down some. Give yourself time to adjust. You can always change it back after the week is up.

i did try natural mode in the past..I didnt think it was terrible but i did have to crank the color way up and the tint too ...red looked more pink to me on natural mode. unless the tint was in the 30's...anyways..here are my natural settings.

PICTURE MODE- NATURAL

BRIGHTNESS- 51

CONTRAST- 94

COLOR- 73

TINT- 14

SHARPNESS- 24

VID NOISE- OFF

COLOR TEMP- LOW

been tweeking settings every night as i watch tv/movies. definitely cant use natural mode for playing ps3 games..just too dim and doesn't have that pop factor. But for movies and tv they look actually pretty good...although I had to turn the contrast up...i had it at 83 and at 83 you lose A Lot of detail in dark scenes. Trying 90 out for now...

Picture modes of Brilliant, Bright, Natual do not affect the lamp. These are differences in these are picture processing, not lamp operation.

However in the "Energy" menu, there is a lamp mode setting of Bright (yes there are two different "brights" in the TV, one for picture mode and one for lamp mode) and Standard.

This selection does affect the lamp life. Bright = 180 watt performancen (brighter output) and Standard = 156 watt performance (less bright output). The lower wattage is less stressful to the lamp and thus can help the lamp last longer.

i usually just clean it when i see dust build up...id like to say once a week but i dont usually see any dust on it that often. I also dont like using anything liquid on it. I like to use those swifter 360 dusters...those are good to dust with. i just wipe with it all down ..usually using 2 of them. when i change the bulb i will probably use my vaccum with hose and the brush attachment to suck all the dust out.

Does the 65C10 have HDMI CEC control?

I have the C9 and it works great for me for over a year now. I purchased the 65C10 not long ago and can't seem to find the HDMI CEC feature? I use one HDMI port for Panny 210 and it doesn't detect anything nor can I find it via menu. I realize my older C9 is much better because of the remote and the advanced menu features.
