Washington, D.C. (November 27, 2006) -- Mitsubishi's new 62-inch DLP rear-projection HDTV is an impressive looking set. But how about that picture?

CNET, the technology web site, says it falls short compared to other large-screen DLP high-def sets. In a recent review, the site gives the Mitsubishi's WD-62628 a score of 6.9 out of a possible10.

It says the rear-projection HDTV, priced as low as $2,200 at some web sites, delivers "excellent black levels and numerous picture-quality adjustments."

However, the site adds that the Mitsubishi TV provides "poor color decoding with heavy red push" and that display scaling "robs 50 percent of the horizontal resolution from 1080i" sources.

The TV also will not accept 1080p signals via a HDMI connection, CNET reports.

"We've been impressed by the image quality of DLP-based HDTVs in the past," CNET says. "And the Mitsubishi WD-62628 exhibits many of the strengths we've lauded -- namely, the ability to produce deep blacks. It does have some image quality issues that we couldn't overlook, however, and despite its excellent feature package, we have a hard time recommending it against the stiff 1080p competition."
