Like the follow-up poster said...I don't think the Y series is missing anything from the 731....just doesn't have everything the 732 has. How did you confirm that the "Y" series has Dark Detailer? Maybe I can live with regular black vs high gloss black if I can get CC to give me the "Y" series at the same price point I can get the 731 at. The only other things it wouldn't have at that point (vs the 732) are PerfectTint, DeepField Imager and SharpEdge.

The Y Series PDF shows two additional features - a cable card slot, and A/V adjustments by input source.

I thought it was a 731 with a different name tag and as you just pointed out it has the dark detailer.

Sorry, as a newbie, this is all this is pretty confusing right now.

THanks

Next the 732 manual omits discussing the features that the 732 has over the 731. This is because the CC house brand does not include them. So the CC house brand is made to look like a 732 to the casual or even knowledgable customer who then (mis)thinks he is getting a great deal especially when CC "will readily work with him". Here CC is still making a great profit and the customers walks away with what he thinks is a great deal. All is pre-planned and is similar to the set-up techniques that Wall street uses to sell "hot"stocks at peak prices.

There may be other cost-cut areas inside that we may never know about. Again I will repeat: stay away from the CC house brands if you want the best PQ. For the last irony BB and Conns are currently selling the real 731 for less than CC is selling their piece...

First no consumer has seen the 732 because it has not been released.

The CC house brand is much closer to the 732 black than the 731 grey. Flat or gloss finish is secondary.

The fact is the CC house brand performance actually trails the higher performance 731. I would be much less critical if the 731 and the CC house brand shared the same manual.

The risk of deception is exposure, which tends to get the perpetrators agitated.
So like one more thing: where did the porno post go? I guess I'll have to go watch HDNET instead. Get Out!

Got my 57731 delivered the 2 days ago. I chose it because it was quite bright and had the best anti-glare screen. (Oh yeah, it looked great too! 1080p, great color, yadda yadda...)

The room has a 13' long southern facing window oriented 90 degrees to the television, light colored walls and a white ceiling, canned lights in the ceiling, and a chrystal chandelier on the otherside of the room directly opposite the television! (The salesperson looked at me like I was mad, since everytime he showed me a television I would bend down close to the floor to see how much the showroom lights glitted off the screen!)

I am very happy with the television. It deals with the light challenged enviornment well.

It didn't look very good with the S-Video signal from my old 480i dvd player... so I had to upgrade! An upconverting dvd player with hdmi made all the difference.

No hd content yet, I just blew my budget.

So the good news is:
Bright enough.
Anti-glare works well. Lets face it, light shining on the screen washes things out, but there are no strong reflections.
No screendoor at all.
No rainbow effect. I see rainbows on many DLPs but not on this on in normal viewing...yet. I haven't watch anything black and white yet but I am happy.

I can see pixelation effects from about 8 feet away, much closer than that it becomes rather distracting. My viewing distance is beyond this and the picture is amazingly clear and sharp.

I adjusted the brightness during the daytime, so that makes it somewhat too bright at night. I shall have to think about this setting.

I have noticed the lack of dark detail, but life is a tradeoff.

But I am very happy, I love my Mitsubishi, it is the best tv I have owned.

There's not been any facts provided on this forum that shows it having any less features than the 731 and we know it has a few features of the 732. It simply sounds like it was meant to be an in-between set (731 plus). It's priced that way, too. The good news is the CC salespeople and even manager I've spoken to have no clue about these sets so I've got them convinced it's the exact same as the 731 and should be priced the same way. The big question, though, is whether is has Dark Detailer. One poster said it did but I'm still waiting for a reply as to why he thinks that since it's not listed on the spec sheet.

What would you suggest as a guideline?
150watt and my turbo-beacon 180W

Thanks

Please refer any other questions to you local Circuit City sales associate. They (just like the good folks at Radio Shack) should have all the answers.
Have a nice day!

Usually between 40-80 hours
