Plush1080p
Your new Diamond Series WD73835 uses a high speed video processor called Plush1080p that upconverts 1080i signals to 1080p producing four times the resolution of traditional line doublers. 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 Plush1080 technology to do just this — with 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 a 1080p HDTV.
Dark Detailer and PerfectColor intensify each scene
Mitsubishi does even more to assure you of an always-perfect picture. Dark Detailer is a Mitsubishi exclusive technology that uses a dynamic aperture system to add depth and texture to the picture. Dark Detailer improves contrast ratio by more than four times, giving you a wide array of colors and shades that are essential for optimal viewing of dark, dramatic scenes while also providing maximum brightness. PerfectColor, another Mitsubishi exclusive, 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.
DeepField Imager and SharpEdge refine focus
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. SharpEdge delivers clean, focused edges between objects and scene backgrounds. The result is exquisite picture clarity from any source in every scene. And the removable, anti-glare, high contrast Diamond Shield protects the screen while optimizing picture performance.
In the olden days
Yesterday's audio/video products have video inputs and outputs, and up to six audio inputs and outputs (for surround sound) connecting them. Even a modest system consisting of a television, surround sound receiver, cable or satellite box, VCR, and DVD player requires a minimum of nine cables made up of 15 individual wires, and can be as many as 13 cables made up of 23 individual wires if all analog and digital connections are made. And that's not even counting speaker wires and antenna cables.
HDMI and NetCommand: how it's done today
Instead of multiple audio/video inputs and outputs once required for components like DVD players and cable and satellite boxes, HDMI connections eliminate all but one cable between each component. Mitsubishi has eliminated the confusion, poor quality, and unsightliness of yesterday's audio and video connections. HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. It provides an interface between an audio/video source, like 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. Plus, Mitsubishi has developed the electronic brains to take control of a digital home network and put it at your fingertips with an innovative system control called NetCommand. And for you gamers, there's an ultra-high resolution 1080p Media PC input for the latest generation of high definition multimedia applications.
Let NetCommand take control
Using a basic home theater system used to be complicated to configure and operate, even with just basic components like a big-screen HDTV or monitor, a surround sound audio receiver, a DVD player, a cable box or digital satellite receiver, a digital video recorder, or a multimedia PC. These systems used to be complicated to use — until Mitsubishi created NetCommand home theater operation system. All Mitsubishi digital cable ready televisions include NetCommand with IR learning. This exclusive feature gives you a true one remote control home theater system. NetCommand is an on-screen icon based control system. NetCommand has a library of codes or can learn the IR codes from almost any IR-based analog component. Using only the TV's remote control, NetCommand enables you to control all components with simple on-screen icons — just by pushing a button.
Don't forget the cables!
If you are using a Blu-ray player, a receiver, TV, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don't forget to purchase the right cables. Many people don't realize what a significant difference the right cables make, and when they get their new high definition equipment home, they think the equipment itself is to blame when the picture isn't as good as it should be. This is because most components (Blu-ray, receivers, etc) don't come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking "it will do." Another reason people don't buy the right cables is because trying to figure out which cables you need can be daunting, and it's hard to know where to start. Our sales representatives are there to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your DLP TV.
