Please read all other reviews for in depth likes and dislikes of this WD-65C9. If this TV seems like it may be right for you, then consider my advice.
Having installed hundreds of televisions for B***B**, I've seen just about every brand and model of HDTV available, priced from a few hundred dollars all the way to $30,000 for boutique sets. With plasma and LCD sets, picture quality can vary wildly. However, with any new DLP projection HDTV, of which only Mitsubishi models remain, you are guaranteed a vibrant picture with deep blacks and no ghosting.
Everyone should be assured, the C9 series has the exact same image quality and 3D readiness as the 737 and 837 models, and at a significant discount. In my opinion, the very few additions to the 737 and 837 series are unnecessary and not worth the money. I purchased this TV on one of it's low-price swings, and at around a thousand I feel like I stole it. Projection sets of this quality were priced around $6000 only a few years ago. But these prices won't continue to go down. It isn't cost efficient for any company to sell such a large piece of electronics for much less than $1000, not to mention if you can get free shipping.
So my last piece of advice to anyone interested in this TV, definitely buy this WD-65C9, but watch the price fluctuations, and make sure you get a fair deal. |
An amazing TV!!!

People who say to steer clear of DLPs are crazy. This tv is awesome, and while it may take a little more maintenance to keep it going(cleaning the filter and vents), it should provide you with a huge, beautiful picture. Heat buildup will kill this machine and its bulb, so keeping the vents and filter clean are a must. Bulb replacement is easy and cheaper than the older models...only $99 direct from Mitsubishi.
If you're in the market for a 52-58" LCD or plasma, truly consider the 65" C9 DLP. You'll get much more screen for less money. People complain about the speakers, but I've found the work just fine. I have it hooked up to a sound system, but use the tv speakers when I'm just watching cable.
Don't hesitate...BUY THIS TV! |
love this!

| I love this TV. It is flat screen but does have a part that does stick out a little. But who cares. For the price it is awesome. The picture is great, its 3d ready, great for video games and movies. I always find myself saying "I love my TV" to myself when I'm watching. Definetly would recommend. |
C9 and 737 Series Use Same Manual But 737 is Better

I 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. |

| I bought a WD-65C9 but the supplier upgraded me for free to a WD-65737. I am very pleased with it so far. The picture quality is gorgeous and the ease of set up was good. |
