2007 Mitsubishi 732 series Owner's Thread (57732, 65732, 73732) - Page 6

How do you know that the credit card company will honor the extra year in this fashion? I assumed that the extra year would only apply to the manufacturer's warranty, not an EW. Did the cc company tell you differently?

I'm jammed up between the two as well. I can get the Sammy for about 500 less than the mits, but all the technobabble about the OTB performance of the 6187 and the difficulties achieving a great pic bother me. I need a tv now, but the way these prices are plummeting it makes it that much harder to pull the trigger. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll see the light. And blacks.

Just took delivery of 57732 on Wednesday.. Thus far the set ROCKS!! I was leaning toward Sammy but am thrilled that I pulled the trigger on the Mits. The black level and lamp brightness are both outstanding. Tweaked most of the settings from default. Will evaluate before I post more. About price. No local dealer, Tweeter, BB, etc had the 732 in stock or on order. I purchased from One Call. Let me say it was the best online shopping experience I have had. They are very knowledger and professional. With respect to pricing. Their intital price was $300 less that Mits suggested retail. They furture reduced it $200 and applied a FALL06 coupon for a further $125 reduction. That price included shipping. They will price match most major online retailers, ABT, J&R, etc.. On the day after the TV was delivered, I received another box from One Call. It contained box of microwave popcorn. A "we're #1" foam hand and a referee whistle. In addition they call and you get to select a team hat of your choice. Maybe a little cheesy, but it sure show they care about your business.

normally the cc warranty tags onto the end of the mfr warranty.

So this means that if I purchase an EW that the extra year from the cc no longer applies, correct?

I also purchased a WD57732 from a local business in Columbia MO this past week. I watch HD via a OTA in my attic which is routed through a line amp and then splitter. The TN vs FL Football game on Saturday nite was great-better display than I ever thought would be possible. I watch SD about 75% of the time and was hesitant about getting something this big. The SD picture is watchable and better than I thought it would be. There is a big difference in the picture quality of SD broadcasts from OTA vs Digital Cable, OTA is much better. Most Televison stations are multicasting on their signal, and depending on how many they do, less bandwidth is available to their HD signal. This was apparent last nite, as the TN vs Fl broadcast on the local CBS was better than the USC vs NB broadcast on the local NBC. (NBC here multicasts 3 different programs on their signal). No problems with this Television/Monitor yet, still watching with the factory defaults.

If I'm not mistaken, the credit card warrenty kicks in AFTER all other warrentys are expired. So, year 5 would be covered by the CC warrenty.

I dont know about not applying. Im sure you would be breaking some law if you made claims to both. There is lots of fine print in the CC warranty extension. I bought a a new full warranty refrubed AV receiver that went south, and when I put a claim in to the CC they said they dont cover refurb equipment.

I went to Frys and got the Mits 65732 that was waiting for me. All I can say about the PQ is "WOW". Put in Serenity HD DVD movie and what a great picture it put out. I'm using component for my HD DVD player. I'm going to order some HDMI cables for my HD DVD player and Comcast box.

If bitrate is held the same, then MPEG-4 should easily beat MPEG-2 in quality. But since the whole reason they're moving to MPEG-4 is to squeeze more channels into the same bandwidth, so I guess it's going to depend on how agressive they get with the compression settings.

I don't have an HD sat receiver yet, only OTA reception but if what I've seen in the big box stores is any indication HD satellite doesn't come close to OTA in picture quality, whether it's MPEG-2 or -4. Hopefully I'll have HD sat reception soon though, currently waiting for D* to start shipping the HD20-700 direct to TX residents so I can get a deal from customer retention (and if they don't make me a deal, I'll probably be switching to E*).

Hello fellow 732 owners. I have just joined the rank. Picked up the 57732 yesterday... right now I can watch some HD channels using an RCA indoor antenna...believe the model is 401 it has 25 db amplifier.
Will get Comcast in two weeks because they have to drill some holes to get the cable line to go into this room. I already have my HD signal into the other room where I have a sony crt HDTV 30".
so far, watching DVDs on a Sony upconverter changer.... the pics are very good. Not as good as my CRT HDTV, of course.
Am looking forward to see what I can do to improve the PQ.
Thanks

What are your settings on the 65732. The Manager at Frys called me today ask if I like to get the Toshiba 72hm195 and return the 65732. I spoke to him about maybe going bigger than 65" on Tuesday last week.

The 72hm196 is the newer model replacing the 72hm195. Neither one accepts 1080p(1080i only) input, although unless you are a gamer it should not be a problem. The Toshiba forum says the 196 is a marked improvement over the 195. A coworker has the 62HM196 and said the RBE was pronounced. Just my 2 cents.

Still waiting for BB Mag to get a 732 in the showroom. Someday soon.

Thanks Yammyha for the reply. If you have Frys in your area check them out. I got a great deal from them on the 65732.

I should have chimed in earlier on this. But, to throw another option into the mix, I'd suggest giving the Home Theater Store a call to see which they use.

They used to use Phillips (my Mitsu 52725 DLP from a year and a half back has a 5-year Phillips EW). They have since switched and use an EW that is "more affordable" than the Phillips was (My parents new 57732 is on this one). Unfortunately I don't have any of the information or the name of the new EW company that THTS is using (I haven't seen a name that rings bells yet in this thread so far).

Has anyone ventured into the 732's service menu yet? What adjustments are available?

My parents should be receiving that contract any time now...I'll let you know when it comes in

just finished watching CSI MIAMI over the air in HD in my new 65732.one word describes what i saw,and the picture quakity of this tv.SPECTECULAR

I concur...I have the 57732

jsil, would you post the price you paid for the 65732 on the AVS Club Great Deals page?

I posted this in the big 73x/831 thread but have a feeling it's going to get lost in the shuffle.

For those hooking up a PC to the DVI port, I'd like to get some feedback from you. I just got my set yesterday, unfortunately my HTPC hasn't been updated in a while so I've got an older AGP card. While it does have DVI port it doesn't seem capable of giving the mits the correct signal because even though the desktop is configured to 1920x1080 the TV is telling me it's a nonstandard signal. As a result I'm not getting a pixel-perfect display, instead the TV is downscaling the desktop a bit (instead of 2-3% overscan it looks like I have about 3-4% underscan, with black borders all around). The vid card is a Radon 9200 (I know, old), using some of the older ATI drivers (latest drivers no longer support this card).

So for those of you who have gotten a pixel-perfect computer display, can you tell me what vid card/drivers you're using, and whether you're plugging into the DVI port or HDMI?

Another thing I noticed, the computer input is missing some rather important video adjustments, namely picture mode (brilliant/bright/natural) and color temp (appears to be stuck on high). I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the "nonstandard video signal" or if it's a limitation Mitsubishi put on the DVI port. I hope it's not the latter, I really don't like the bluish tint to the high color setting (My old RPTV was calibrated to 6500K, and is my workstation PC).

Please keep us posted...
