I am losing faith in Mits now, I got this set as a replacement for an 625 series DLP. Glad I went with the service plan again. As far as getting a replacement set, are you happy with the 835? I will have to research those to compare features, etc.

- Press "menu"
- While on the menu screen press 2 4 5 7 wait 2 seconds then press 0
- You'll see 5 menu selections at the top of the screen
- Arrow down to "MANUAL KEYSTONE GEOMETRY ALIGNMENT" and press the "enter" button
- You will come to a black screen with overscan lines around the perimeter and two vertical lines at the 4:3 bar location
- Seeing this screen, you'll probably want to adjust the perimeter also which is the first part of these instructions. If not, read on through to the end which will get you to the 4:3 bar adjustment.
- There are adjustment points along the perimeter ("+" marks)
- The first point you're at when you arrive to the screen is the upper left corner
- Adjust that point (if needed) by pressing the up/down/left/right arrow keys in the direction you need that point to move to straighten any irregularities there. You won't see any of the lines move at this point, just the "+" pointer.
- You access the "+" points in a clockwise direction from the starting point by pressing "fast forward" (to the right of "play") on the remote to move to the next adjustment point. Adjust the pointer at the next point if needed in the same manner (up,down,left right) then on to the next point.
- "Fast Rewind" will move you backwards, point to point, headed back to the starting point.
- Since you don't see the results of your adjustments onscreen, you'll have to press "enter" which will return you to the Geometry menu screen, then "enter" again to get you back to the adjustment screen. Then you'll see the results. You'll be going back and forth like this quite a few times. NOTE: If you make an adjustment on a point and press "enter", that adjustment won't take. Make sure before you "enter" out to the menu, that you fast forward or rewind to the next point first.

- To adjust the two 4:3 vertical bars, "fast forward" all the way around to the starting point. Once there, you'll be in the 4:3 bar adjustment mode. The next "fast forward" press will make both 4:3 lines move. Just keep pressing "fast forward / rewind" until you get the bars straight as possible. Press "enter" to get back to the menu screen. If you are finished, press "exit".

2) You know the sound the tv makes when you turn it on...the click noise you hear on any electronic device...I hear that noise sometimes even when the tv is off...any thoughts?

3) Has anyone heard a loud clunking noise when the tv turns off?

Any thoughts on these "issues" would be greatly appreciated. I can get a tech out to the house, but I don't want someone messing around with a perfectly good set that only has intermentent "bugs". I want to tap the brains of you experts to tell me if I should have any concerns.

These are the only "issues" I have had. The tv is great...great pic and no blobs or color wheel noise. It does make a whine for a few seconds after it goes off...big deal. I assume it is the wheel coming to a stop. So far after 6 months I would recommend to anybody.

Thanks for the help,
Jeff

Press the buttons 2, 4, 5, 7, pause and then press 0 (Data Selection Mode will appear)
Use the up and down buttons to highlight the line for what you want to do and then press enter
Since the other code 2 4 7 0 is the same for both, this will probably work for the 833 also.

I got my 73833 in four weeks ago. It was one of the last to be sold. I have setup the tv with the HDMI color settings provided by the experts on this tread. Thanks to all that contributed.

Now my problem is with DVD and any device that uses component. I have a sony 777ES mega changer. Color is horrible. I see lots of green when the actual color should be red. My son Xbox360 came from repairs today, we could not get the color to blend. On the same TV, we have PS3 on HDMI, perfect color.

Can someone send me via PM color settings suggestions..

Thanks to all.

Quote from page 72 of the December 2008 Home Theater magazine

"While both of these sets accept a 1080p/24 input, neither keeps it in that form all the way to the screen, either as 24 fps or as a simple multiple of that frame rate (such as 48, 96, or 120 fps). Instead, both sets convert the 24-fps input to 1080p/60 prior to display by performing 3:2 pull-down. While common to most current one-piece televisions, this technique negates any benefit of 24-fps film-based source material (such as reduced judder)."

Here is a link to the list of TV's that actually do 1080p/24 the right way.

Does any buddy know if the WD-73833 has this same problem? I am betting it does but does any buddy know for sure.

Also in my opinion smooth 120 Hz makes the picture look worse.

1080p/24 and smooth 120hz what a load of marketing ****.

The only thing that does work on this set is 1080p in 1080p out.

Please some buddy correct me if i am wrong.
