3D Technology Checklist
This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101–our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have:
 |
 |
A DisplayThe first–and most important–item you’ll need is a 3D-ready display–whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
A SourceWhile your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
ContentIn order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
3D GlassesAll 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display–for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
HDMI CableTo connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you’ll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation–with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)–will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality. |
If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 |
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

 Great 3D TV Huge Picture Inexpensive Price, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-73638 73-Inch 3D-Ready DLP HDTV (Electronics)
I am an a/v nut. My other TV is a 10 foot projector. I love this TV. The picture looks fantastic. It makes my 60″ phillips I had look terrible. I have not purchased the converter box for the 3d but it’s coming soon. The audio is good. The remote is not great but I use dish network’s remote anyways. There are some MINOR critiques. I can say is it takes over ten seconds to start up every time you turn it on, for the projector inside it to light up the bulb. You get used to it, and it is not a big issue. The other thing is that the screen (which is very good at not casting reflections with it’s matte finish) is flat in the center but has a slight crown in the corners, which is visible if you’re looking for the matte reflection (as it’s EXTREMELY well hidden, and only seen when you look for screen’s reflection). Where else are you going to find 73″ of screen at this price? And it’s incredible looking as well.

 Mitsubishi WD-73638 73-Inch 1080p 3D Ready Review, By
This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-73638 73-Inch 3D-Ready DLP HDTV (Electronics)
Please keep in mind, Mitsubishi’s DLP is not like an LCD, LED OR Plasma. Thus so far my experience with LCD’S & PLASMAS is, no matter where or how much light is in your tv room it’s crystal clear HDTV. This being my first experience with DLP is great it’s like your at the movies everyday. Can’t beat it. But,please note, “YOU MUST HAVE OR MAKE A MOVIE ROOM” in order to view this DLP. I had to make a “movie room”, a room that is dark and narrow seating for viewing. For I noticed this DLP is only best viewable in sitting directly or nearably center of it (longitude and latitude as well). I noticed that the DLP Screen when viewing from the sides, slightly below or slightly above you get a terrible dim/ lifeless image (Dark shadowy). Definitely not HDTV, and if you have the sun-shinning in the same room of your DLP, it’s worse than rabbit ear tv. My last bit of advise is that I Strongly recommended you to Please View a large screen DLP TV in person at your local Best Buy or whatever, before buying a DLP and make your own decision from there. If you like it, then set up your DLP like your local movie theaters, and you’ll never need to go to the movie theater again.

Oscar Wilde (NE, USA) – See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-73638 73-Inch 3D-Ready DLP HDTV (Electronics)
I’ve had this TV for a couple months now, so it’s a good time to review. All the other rave reviews are right on target. You can’t get this large and high quality a picture for near this price – and this beats a projector in brightness and simplicity of use, and also price. I am 100% happy with this purchase and would do it again! It’s an amazing theater experience in the home. This is now the movie house – so if you get this, expect neighbors and friends to invite themselves over! Couple this with a great surround sound system, and the only reason to go to a theater is to see a brand new movie, or just get out. It’s really that good. Watching “Planet Earth” in Bluray is killer! You’re there! There are things that a potential buyer should know so there are no surprises: -Off axis viewing is reduced in brightness and detail, whether vertically (especially vertically) or horizontally. So, if your Home Theater or living room situation calls for viewing way from the side (a bit is fine – I have a chair by the wall and viewing is still 90% of what it is straight on), or if you’re going to lie on the floor and watch – then I’d go with a 65 inch Panasonic Plasma instead (great TV, no off axis issues at all, but more bucks per screen size and heavier). -The color wheel mechanism makes a faint noise. Nothing I notice with even soft music on or even quiet scenes in a movie, but a bit more noise than my Pani Plasma TV upstairs. -Colors are ultra rich and beautiful! You may want to turn the color down a notch for a more real to life picture, but I’ve left it heavy on color with the original settings, because it’s fun. Just know it’s a bit over the top in the original setting. Watching “Finding Nemo” in the stock settings is electric and stunning! -The screen is plenty bright for my use – and my room has windows. I imagine in a very bright room, it might get a bit more washed out, eg: if sunlight is coming directly in, but it’s not like a projector where light in the room really kills the experience. In a typical room, this is not going to be a problem. No, it’s not as bright as LCD or Plasma, but most of us don’t need it to be. -Even with regular 2D sources, the picture is so detailed and so big, that there is tremendous depth to the picture – such that it feels almost 3D like. -I researched the heck out of this, and nothing else compares to the combination of quality, size and price. -CONCLUSION: if off axis limitations are not an issue for your space, and you want the biggest picture for the price you can get, by all means, you won’t regret this purchase! I bought this through Amazon and had a top notch experience. I also purchased a two year service contract (square trade) which I found very reasonable. Enjoy! |
