Mitsubishi WD-65C9I saw a 65 inch C9 at a friends house and really loved the picture. So, I started watching for a sale and, as usual, the best deals were on Amazon.com. I found a great deal with free shipping (from the Home Theater Store) and ordered that bad boy. Two days later the vendor called me and offered a free “upgrade” to the WD65737. I had noticed that the “retail price” of the C9 was more than the 737 but the sale price was about 150 bucks less. Home Theater Store told me that was because technology is always driving down the price when newer models come out. As the WD65737 is a newer model, with newer technology, the “retail price” may be less than the C9 but the current (street) price of the 737 was a few hundred more. I accepted the free upgrade, and I’m sure glad I did. Now for the TV…
This TV has the best picture I’ve ever seen on any HDTV. Deep, realistic reds, blues and yellows along with the blacker than black (never knew this was possible) blacks and the tight contrast make this thing come to life. Field sports and auto racing are better than live. You really must see a big American flag on a nicely groomed football filed to understand what I’m saying here — I had to see it to believe it.
The speakers aint great for music and action adventure movies, but I always use the surround system for that stuff any.
How ’bout that picture! Do yourself a favor and go check out a 737 model at your local TV store and shop Amazon for the best price. And don’t worry about giving up picture quality for size — this 65 inch is way tighter and brighter than even the 37-inch HDTVs I’ve seen.
Get yourself one — you wont be sorry.
