Mitsubishi WD XX725 owners thread - Page 2

Here is another one

Here I tried taking one with the blinds open il the living room to give you an idea of what the glare looks like in a bright room.

I am using the HDMI for the DISH DVR 921 and these pictures are with an older Toshiba DVD SD6200 at 480P. I will be trying it out with the Panasonic XP 30 which up converts once I receive it and will repost pictures.

But it gives you an idea of the depth of the picture even at 480P.

62725 is:

43.7" H 58.3" W 19.9" D and 165.5 lbs

I figured I would post this question in the owners forum as well as the Mits DLP forum. I think these kinds of questions really belong here now anyway.

Maybe you 525 folks can help answer a couple of questions though.

I got Coax digital set up last night and also set up the analog audio from the audio 2 output from the TV to my Krell.

I do get sound from the COAX on all the digital channels over local cable. I cant seem to get sound from the analog cable channels at all through my Krell.

Has anyone had any problems getting that to work correctly? I am not sure if there is something else in the TV that needs to be setup that I missed or there is a problem w/the analog output. I do not have a cable card, but I would think the tuner should output an analog signal especially if the coax works...

Any let me know if you have any suggestions.

I got it squared away this am, it was not the TV. It just so happens the Krell cant do both Digital and Analog on the same device.

After another calibration w/AVIA in a dark room last night before watching a movie, here is where I have the settings on the 52725. This is DVD input over component at 480P. My Panasonic that up converts didn't make it here yesterday so this is with my older Toshiba SD 6200.

I am using the HDMI for my DISH DVR 921, at least for now, and this set now has only about 11 hours on it and nowhere near broken in yet! This is about as close as I could come with the color test patterns.

Magenta 30
Red 28
Yellow 32
Green 33
Cyan 28
Blue 28

Contrast 20
Brightness 49
Sharpness 22
Temp Low
Tint 28
Color 38
V Noise std
Edge off

Even with my room back-lit it still seemed at times still to bright during movie playback in a dark room. So I am really anxious to get an idea of others settings as they get their sets. I plan on spending more time w/it this weekend.

I too have noticed as others have the green halo effect on the cable SD channels at times anyway and have seen just a few rainbows so far, which doesn't really bother me. And already mentioned the glare previously.

I think so far the picture is much better than my previous set the SONY GWIII and the blacks are deeper.

So far other than the initial problem w/the HDMI port all is well, but wonder if others will have the same problem w/the HDMI and if its orientation is part of the problem. I tried 2 different cables and had the same problem until as I mentioned earlier in the thread, crimped the HDMI connector to make it fit more snuggly in the TV input.

I plan on leaving it run all weekend and try more DVD's tonight. More to come but so far we are pretty impressed.

j_dubCA,

My 52725 seems to be square when I tested it using the AVIA disc. The picture could be adjusted up slightly once we get the service manual info. I am waiting for it to come in paper form as many others are! I dont see the tilt problem on this set.

As far as features:

I wish it had a second digital input, other than that I am pretty happy so far. I think the black level and the picture quality is better than the Sammy "Kirk". The anti-glare screen really helps over the 525 however you so still see some reflection as I showed in one of the pictures I posted.

Netcommand is pretty cool, but I am using my Krell HTS 7.1 for all my audio switching and really only have 2 inputs now, DVD, and the DISH 921. I am waiting for a Krell DVI/HDMI upgrade at some point.

The one item that really bothers me is just how slow channel changes are, and wonder if there will be firmware updates to speed this up in the future.

I have had this set on for about 35 hours now and so far no reset issues, or anything of that nature, just a great picture. The only real problem I had was getting my HDMI cable to fit in snuggly and make a good connection, I ended up having to crimp the cable slightly, so I am not sure if the connector in the TV is slightly large or the problem is w/the cable. The cable is from BlueJeans and I will be calling them tomorrow just to check.

I think the orientation of connector may be the problem, not sure if others have had a problem.

I am really waiting to see more reviews and setup thoughts/tweaks as others get their sets, but I have to say, I think this is very close to a plasma picture if not better without the burn problem.

I do have to say, we are watching the Cowboys and Browns in HD and the picture on this 52725 is amazing. It looks so natural like you are sitting in the stands. Amazing.

I am not sure just how much more tweaking I even need to make, its really a stunning picture. I have to wonder if the anti-glare screen has something to do w/it.

It would be fun to do an A-B with the 2 different screens on this set. I am sure someone may try it at some point!

One last picture, football in HD

The pictures I put up were not in a dark room, it was without flash, but I will open all the blinds and retake with a flash.

Here is one with blinds open and lights on. I also used a flash.

I like the black and it seems classy to me. I am ok w/the silver at the bottom, as I think its intended to blend in with the stand.

And its true, hyperdoc , I have local cable going into the set and am receiving all the HD programming and 5.1 sound through the COAX out. I have the audio 2 out setup for analog stations.
