Big, bold, and breathtakingly beautiful
High-quality entertainment doesn't get much better than when you're watching it on the 73" Mitsubishi WD-73840 3D DLP TV. It's not just screen size that makes this DLP television one of the best around — years of concentrated technology, including a Clear Contrast screen and 120Hz sub-frame processor, that make sure the picture you want is exactly the picture you get. PerfectColor and PerfecTint technology, along with the WD73840's 6-color processor will give you breathtaking images with bright, natural colors. Finally, if there's a technology that's been better made to handle the unique demands of home 3D content, it hasn't been found yet. DLP processes 3D images more fluidly and naturally, giving you one of the best third-dimensional entertainment experiences available on one of the largest screens available.
Setting the soundbar a little bit higher…
It tends to be talked about in hushed tones, but everyone knows it: most TVs skimp on sound quality. That may be fine for other television manufacturers, but Mitsubishi thinks you should enjoy a little audio with your picture (unless you're a big fan of watching the 24-hour mime channel). They've built a 16-channel, 32W soundbar directly into the 73840 to provide immersive sound for viewing your favorite movies, television shows, and games.
It's not witchcraft . . . it's VUDU (online streaming!)
If there's any rival to the 3D home theater revolution, it's the emergence of online streaming directly to your HDTV. And entering the arena with ferocity, Mitsubishi presents StreamTV Internet Media technology featuring VUDU Apps. Simply connect the WD-73840 to your pre-existing broadband internet service using this HDTV's built-in ethernet port, and you can begin streaming a diverse offering of online content directly into your home theater. Lose yourself in one of the 3,000+ HD movies available via VUDU Movies. Listen to a custom internet radio station with Pandora. Browse photo albums on Picasa or Flickr. Stay informed via news from sources like The New York Times, the Associated Press, or NBC Nightly News. You can even enjoy popular video podcasts on Revision3 and DiggNation. StreamTV with VUDU Apps may not be witchcraft, but it sure feels like magic.

I'm replacing a DLP 65 inch Toshiba with the 73840 and I can tell you there is a huge difference. The picture quality is so much brighter than my old DLP which is only 5 years old. I was thinking of getting the 82 and I'm glad I didn't, I can barely squeeze this monster in my living room. I'm not using the sound bar due to having a standalone audio system, but it looks impressive. I did purchase four 3 active 3D glasses with it and all I can say is WOW. I tried it for the first time with some friends of mine, we watched Green Lantern on HBO 3D on-demand. We were all blow away.. .The movie is absolutely horrible, but I enjoyed every second. The depth is really impressive. I would recommend this TV. You can’t beat the price for size and quality. Don’t expect plasma or LED picture quality, which to me looks horrible and fake. I like a more natural feel. I don’t like the feeling of movietv characters standing in my house. Overall I’m very satisfied.
