The set itself will recognize and play the audio carried by an HDMI connection through its on-board, two-channel audio system. There are more than enough inputs on the set for most users, including two HDMI connections, a DVI-I link for computers, and two IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connections that may be used for recording (unscrambled) material from the set's onboard tuners to an outboard device like a D-VHS machine.ĭigital audio from the set's ATSC tuner may also be sent to an external pre-pro or AV receiver from the set's digital output.

The feature called Plush1080p is said to properly convert 1080i (and 720p) to the set's native 1080p without sacrificing resolution. TurboLight is also claimed to be 10% brighter than an ordinary 150W lamp because it focuses more of its light on the DMD chip. TurboLight XXX, for example, indicates the lamp wattage, in this case TurboLight150. Mitsubishi offers a variety of other features, some proprietary, some not, but all using their own creative, trademarked names. While its 18" depth won't make you confuse it with a flat panel design, the set is still very compact for its 57-inch (diagonal) screen (a new size for Mitsubishi). The cabinet looks remarkably svelte from the front, with so little chassis space under the screen that it qualifies as a table mount. According to Mitsubishi, it will also accept 1080p/p/30 from IEEE 1394 (though I know of no consumer source that offers either of these resolutions on an IEEE 1394 link). Unlike many 1080p sets currently on the market, the will accept not only 1080i inputs, but 1080p/60 via HDMI as well. For more detail on how these chips operate, see " Tech Talk: The Wobbly Bits"at the end of this report. This comes courtesy of Texas Instrument's "wobulation" Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), from the same family of digital light processing chips used in all current 1920x1080 DLP rear projection sets. Most significantly, perhaps, it offers a resolution of 1920 x 1080p. But at $3099 it nevertheless provides considerable value. It leaves out a few choice features that will appear in more expensive models expected between now and the fall. This WD-57731 is one of the first 2007 models from Mitsubishi to arrive in stores. As it was, two delivery persons hauled it into my house without breaking a sweat.
by myself had it been in a more compact package. But when Mitsubishi delivered their new WD-57731 for review, I could almost have moved its 88 lbs.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get my 51-inch Hitachi CRT out of its room so new flooring can be installed.

Just a couple of years ago, bringing a 57-inch TV into my studio meant wrestling with a 300-pound gorilla of metal, glass, plastic, and particle board.
