Hmmmm....I've owned a WS-65807 for a while now and with just a little bit of work on the consumer available controls with the AVIA disc, you can dial in one heck of a picture.

Now, I should temper that just a bit, because the red push out of the box is around +25%. Yeringto over on www.hometheaterspot.com builds a real nice red push attenuator that will bring it back down to somewhere between 0 and +5%. This attaches to the end of the red cable of your component cable set and then into the back of the red component input on the Mitsubishi widescreen. As you can see, you can only crank the red push down on the component input, so there's no effect on cable TV, etc. (unless you get an ISCAN Pro, but that's another story and $800).

I've been real happy with mine and recommend it, even though Mitsubishi has blocked out access to the color decoder. A lot of the service menus are accesible, but you won't catch me recommending messing around in there without the right knowledge (and manual). Wouldn't be prudent (and MAY void your warranty)! Though many on Spot.com will tell you the things they've been able to tweak.

I've had one warranty repair to correct a small geometry problem, evident on 2.25:1 DVD's, but that's behind me now. It's hard to beat the picture for the bucks.

See Ya. Dave
