Not just 1080p, true 1080p

Sure, the WD73735 rear-projection DLP from Mitsubishi offers full HD 1080p, delivering the highest pixel resolution (1920 x 1080) and most advanced image scanning (progressive scan) available. But, what's more, this 73" DLP takes two major additional steps toward assuring that you get the most out of so much high definition merriment. Step One: Tru1080p™ processing. This technology guarantees that all 1080p content — whether from Blu-ray Disc (HDMI), online content (IEEE 3194), or satellite (1080p broadcast) — is passed through with absolutely no down-conversion of the resolution. You enjoy a full and true HD video experience. Step Two: Plush1080p™. Because some HD content is formatted at 720p or 1080i, this source material needs to be reformatted to fit your new 1080p screen. Plush1080p performs a precise, accurate conversion of 720p and 1080i content so that it shows up with rich, clear detail on your WD73735.

Fact: you just can't have too much color

If you thought Technicolor was out of this world, you might want to sit down for this. The WD73735 is capable of displaying . . . billions of colors. What's more, special features designed into the WD73735 give you the control to customize these colors for optimal, lifelike video reproduction. Okay, now, what's this business about billions of colors. Well, the tag team of x.v.Color and Deep Color allows the WD73735's screen to display such a large number of colors by expanding the supported color gamut (the work of x.v.Color) and by broadening the color spectrum used to represent the graphical image data being sent to your screen (thank you, Deep Color). Further, Deep Color allows for smooth transitions between color shades, thus eliminating color banding and other visual artifacts for a sharper, more lifelike image. Additionally, a 6-color processor enhances the WD73735's color capacity by producing brighter colors, a wider range of colors, and whiter whites. Finally, giving you the control to customize the image you see, the WD73735 offers PerfectColor™. A full color matrix, this technology lets you adjust the intensity of six separate colors independently of each other and separately for each of the TV's inputs. You get the color you want for all your video sources.

Get ready . . . Get set . . . 3D!

3D is coming! 3D is coming! Currently, some games and movies are being produced with 3D capabilities as options. Also, there is software that can convert standard DVD titles into 3D films. All you need is a TV capable of displaying 3D-video content. Hmm, where to look. Aha! Your new WD73735 from Mitsubishi sports 3D readiness, meaning that you're ready for the ultimate in immersive video.

Less "noise" means better video

The WD73735'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 that make 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. Mitsubishi's advanced 4D Video Noise Reduction corrects the image in four dimensions: horizontally, vertically, within each frame, and across multiple frames to provide an image that is crystal clear and extraordinarily detailed.

An HDTV for all occasions

Because you don't plan on using your new high definition WD73735 to enjoy just one type of video, and because you might find yourself watching it at various times of day, Mitsubishi has designed this DLP with 4 video modes, letting you customize the TV's performance. Choose between Gaming Mode and Natural Mode when switching between graphical video game images and live-action movies and television programs. If you're sitting down to a matinee, use Brilliant and Bright modes to optimize panel performance in situations with high ambient light.

Now that's a digital photo

Thanks to a front USB port, you can connect a USB thumb drive or USB Card Reader to the WD73735 and use the 73" screen as a giant photo album. This photo viewer capability supports 5-megapixel digital photos.

Easy setup?!! Hooray!

If there is any single thing that's daunting about getting a new home theater system, it's the setup. Well, good thing you're beginning with the WD73735 from Mitsubishi. With ClearThought® EasyConnect™, setup and day-to-day use is simplified. During setup, this feature recognizes each input as it is plugged in, prompts you to name it, enters it into the Device Memory, and only displays inputs in use. Later navigation of your system will be a cinch.

HDMIncredible

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Mitsubishi's WD73735 features three HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Avoid the "No Wire" ire

The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new WD73735 offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your hi-def system. Call for expert advice: 1-800-769-5668.
