We just unpacked the new WD-65733 and turned it on. Here is a couple of quick observations.


1. The TV is slimmer than the 731

2. The matching stand is deeper than the TV

3. Different menu system

4. Bright out of the box

5. The cabinet color is darker than the 731

6. Matching Stand model MB-65PB

7. I have some specs but they are "preliminary"


I will play around and compare the TV today next to a 57831 . Any questions just ask.

What options are there in the service menu?

No sevice info yet, will work on finding that out.

The service manual is like the last series and only documents size and now geometry adjustments. I wonder if the same items are there and if there are any additional capabilities for gamma or more sensible color correction. Service menu access codes are the same as they have been. I have not received any sets yet so I have not been able to get into one to check.

Since DLP introduction, Mits service manual hasn't documented any of the ISF adjustments.

The only way I have found is to go through the painstaking process of testing each and every function to try and determine what it does.

It can take weeks....

Earlier this year I was shopping at a Tweeters for an LCD which I ultimately bought from another dealer(the 46231). However, I also was looking to get a larger screen later this year for my family room and liked the Mits DLP's. The salesman told me to hold off to later in 2007 because he said that Mits was switching to a laser instead of the bulb they now use.


Does the 65733 have the laser??

Yes, most of us know this. The current sets are not documented either. The question is, are the parameters basically the same or have they added some or activated some of the many that were inactive before.

No. As stated above, these sets are lamp based.

I have started a thread at HTS linked below that has what I have accumulated thus far on the new models. I will continue to update it as we learn more and will post the info back here as well. Maybe we can avoid a lot of the confusion about what set has what features and specifications that occurred with the last rollout of new sets.
