Always-perfect picture

The Mitsubishi experience is brought to life through timeless design, a pursuit for quality and commitment to innovation while never losing sight of what matters most to their customers. This is the Mitsubishi philosophy, and it's evident in the WD73736 DLP HDTV. The WD73736 is powered by Texas Instruments' latest 1080p DLP® chip. In combination with Mitsubishi exclusive light engines, over 2 million pixels of the highest high definition are delivered for the most detailed HD picture for a variety of today's and tomorrow's sources.

True1080p&trade processing

Keep your signal the way it was meant to be seen. Mitsubishi's Tru1080p processing maintains 1080p high definition signals as 1080p from beginning to end. All 1080p DVI-I, HDMI, IEEE1394, and 1080p broadcast signals are passed through with no down conversions. The advancements of 1080p DLP technology for HDTV viewing deliver over 2 million pixels to you on-screen for a full and true 1920 x 1080 resolution. With Mitsubishi 1080p DLP HDTVs, you can experience the best that high definition has to offer today and be ready to enjoy all of the 1080p sources that are on the horizon.

Plush1080p&trade

HDTVs can display any video signal. For a 1080p HDTV, even the high quality 720p and 1080i HDTV signals being broadcast need to be reformatted in order to fill the TV screen with a sharp, clear picture. Mitsubishi developed Plush1080p technology to do just this, witt the highest quality possible. It scales the picture precisely, with minimal side effects. And 1080i, currently the most common form of HDTV signal, is spectacular at 1080p. The conversion is precise, resulting in previously unachievable detail and clarity. In short, Plush1080p technology makes everything else look better on the WD73736.

Brilliant colors

The WD73736 uses technology to bring out spectacular color you'll be amazed at. x.v.Color&trade is the new standard in high definition color. The x.v.Color wide color palette enables more color than ever before for breathtaking realism and vivid, natural colors. Deep color creates smooth transitions between different shades and eliminates color bands and complements x.v.Color's wide color pallet. Enabled by HDMI 1.3, deep color goes beyond previous 8-bit HDTV. PerfectColor™ is an exclusive Mitsubishi feature that gives you the ability to adjust the intensity of six separate colors independently of each other and separately for every input. PerfectColor is a full color matrix, much more powerful than a conventional color intensity control with red versus green color balance.

4D video noise reduction

Mitsubishi's exclusive 4D video noise reduction uses advanced algorithms to better identify video noise from fine detail and correct the signal rather than distort it. Video noise is caused by distortions in the video signal and makes the picture look grainy or snowy. As signal resolutions improve with the introduction of DVD, digital cable/satellite, and HDTV, the loss of sharpness produced by most noise reduction circuits becomes more noticeable. The WD73736's advanced 4D video noise reduction corrects the image in four dimensions: hoizontally, vertically, within each frame, and across the multiple frames to provide an image that is crystal clear and extraordinarily detailed.

DeepField™ imager

DeepField imager constantly adjusts brightness and contrast for optimum settings in all areas of the picture. It can even optimize complex scenes containing both dark and bright areas. DeepField imager analyzes 135 sectors of the picture in real time. It determines the optimum blend of contrast and brightness settings within the picture using advanced Mitsubishi algorithms. Based on picture analysis it dynamically adjusts for areas that are too high or low in contrast and/or too dark or bright displaying the best balanced picture in every scene.

Providing lots of input

HDMI&trade (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between an audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an A/V monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats. The WD73736 includes three rear HDMI inputs plus one on the front for easy connection of HD sources such as video games and video cameras. There's also a front component video input for even more easy connections, along with two rear component video inputs that have 480i, 480p, and 1080i capability. A front USB input lets you view five megapixel photos on your WD73736 in startling HD clarity. Easily connect a USB thumb drive or USB card reader. Mitsubishi's ClearThought® easy connect simplifies set-up and day-to-day use. During set-up, it recognizes each input as it is plugged in, prompts the user to name it, enters it into the device menu, and only shows used inputs.

NetCommand® IR

This exclusive Mitsubishi feature provides you with a true one-remote control home theater system for analog products. NetCommand IR provides on-screen control of analog-connected products such as your AV receiver, DVD player, satellite receiver, and VCR. To set it up, you simply "tell" the television what products are connected and "teach it" their IR (infrared) commands. The TV will then take control, eliminating the coffee table clutter of remote controls. It's capable of learning most IR remote control codes from standard home theater products, rather than relying on a preprogrammed library of codes.

3D ready

The WD73736 Diamond 1080p DLP HDTV is 3D ready. This feature allows the ability to be immersed in your favorite video game, movie, or sporting event. As more content becomes available in 3D, this functionality will develop into one of the most exciting HDTV experiences.

Video modes

Use the four picture video modes (brilliant/bright/natural/game) on the WD73736 to adjust for optimum viewing in different room lighting and gaming applications. All modes are accessible via the VIDEO key on the remote control.
