Mitsubishi TVs and Electronics Reviews

I bought a Mitsubishi 60" rear projection TV in 2008, and now, I have white dots all over my TV. This being a known problem with this TV, I expected it to be taken care of by Mitsubishi. It was not the best offer they gave me - I was to pay them $250 for repairs on the TV. This is unacceptable. When you pay over $2000 for a TV, it should last a lot longer than 4 years.

My 73" DLP has white spots. I have been trying for a month to resolve issue with customer service. They offered to furnish park, lamp and 1/2 of labor. When the servicer called, they stated Mitsubishi would pay no labor. When I called Mitsubishi, they stated they would no longer honor their agreement. Now I'm stuck with a TV that is defective and no repair. Very disappointed with product.

Every year I have to replace a lamp (bulb) in this TV. It’s $327.00 a pop and I’m on my 4th bulb and have owned the TV for almost 5 years. What were they thinking making a TV like this?

I’m on my fourth phone call with Mitsubishi Visual America. I purchased my TV (Mitsubishi DLP WD-60735) from ShopNBC on 9/2008 with a 3-year extended warranty that expired on 9/3/2011. Starting on 11/2011, I got my first white dot that appeared and now I have many. I have replaced 3 bulbs in that time with no questions asked. After much research about these complaints, I have tried to be a "squeaky wheel" and not fall for Mitsubishi's part replacement offer with just the cost of labor ($200)! They have an inconsistent approach to repairs costing $200 to $1500, depending on how knowledgeable the consumer is to this scam repair that should be a recall!

About four years ago, we purchased our 57-inch television. For the first two years, everything was great. When we moved houses, the television would not work. We thought that we messed the bulb up in the television. We replaced the bulb then. The television was only 2 1/2 years old. We then rearranged our living room about three months ago and had to replace the bulb again. About a month later, we started to get the the dreaded white and black dots all over the screen. I contacted Mitsubishi today and they want me to pay to have the repairman come fix the television because my warranty is out. I will never buy another Mitsubishi again.

My 58-inch DLP TV has white and black spots (3 years old). The TV is a piece of junk! I will never buy another Mitsubishi product again.

73" Mitsubishi blown bulbs - I bought this 73" TV in December 2011. The bulb blew in April 2012 and was replaced. Well, it blew again this weekend. The new bulb didn’t even last 2 months. I’m very dissatisfied with this product. Sure wish I had seen this page before I bought the TV.

I have all the same problems with the white spots as previous complaints. My model number is WD65837 and have white spots like crazy, purchased from Circuit City which is now no longer in business. Please advise.

My husband and I bought a 65" Mitsubishi about three years ago. Two years passed and the bulb goes out! I was not happy on the price for a bulb! Now, we have white spots all over the TV and it is ridiculous. I also see dark spots. I see from everyone else's response that Mitsubishi is not being responsible. This is clearly a defect and they should step up.

My 73" Mitsubishi DLP lasted about two and a half years (under heavy use) before its first white dot reared its ugly head. You'll begin seeing more each week/month along with black specs. They are supposedly stuck mirrors within the DMD chip in the light engine. It's annoying that this happens so fast, and usually shortly after replacing your first bulb.

I bought a Mitsubishi 65" DLP HDTV in Jan 2010. It worked only two years and now, I see white and black dots all over the screen. It started with one and now the whole screen is covered with them and they are growing in number with time. I will have to trash it as it is not even possible to watch TV with all those dots on screen.

We bought our TV, and it has been a piece of junk from day 1. The bulb went out and now is a paperweight. We replaced it with an LG smart TV. Great TV by the way. We would like to fix the crappy one, but I refused to do so after hearing my friend's troubles with her same Mitsubishi one. They are going on their 4th bulb. It went out again today on them. I want help for her and us, so we can (huge laugh here) use the paperweight again. I would not recommend Mitsubishi to anyone ever! Any help is appreciated. I wish to be part of the class action lawsuit against them.

DLP bulb - I bought my TV from Best Buy in 2008. Ever since, I have replaced the bulb 4 times.

I purchased what I thought was a great brand of TV. I am very disappointed that in 4 years, I am seeing small, bright lights all over the screen. It started with two, and everyday I see more and more. I will never buy another Mitsubishi brand and will talk any of my relatives and friends of doing the same. I have TVs that are very, very old and still working beautifully. Of course, they are not Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi should stand behind their product and fix this problem that everyone is having. Count me in a class action suit.

My wife bought me a 73" Mitsubishi TV for Christmas of 2010. She paid over $3,000 for it. It worked fine for about six or seven months then the bulb went out. I paid about $200 for a bulb. That worked for about three months and the bulb went out again. I'm in the middle of watching the Lakers vs. Nuggets in the playoffs, and my damn bulb blows in the fourth quarter. I'm very upset about this. I have called Mitsubishi in the past and all they did is refer me to a local repair shop in my area like Best Buy where my wife bought the TV from in the first place. And they tell me my bulb is blown, something I already know, and no reason why it keeps on blowing out. This will be the fifth bulb that I will buy. I'm spending around +$600 on bulbs alone. I will have to pay extra to have a bulb shipped before the playoffs finish. I am very upset with this TV.

I purchased a 65" Mitsubishi 700 series DLP TV from Shop NBC on 11/08/10. Within four months, the lamp went out. Again nine months later, another lamp went out. Now at only 1 and 1/2 years old, something else is going wrong such as losing the color on the screen, turning to light purple, almost black and white looking. I cannot believe that this TV has had so many problems in such a short amount of time, and of course, I am told from both Mitsubishi and Shop NBC that I am out of warranty.

I bought this 65-inch Mitsubishi TV (model wd-60737) 2 1/2 years ago as a Christmas present for my family. In February this year, I noticed the screen had white spots that flickered. Now, the screen has approximately 50 black spots and as well as 20 white spots, some of which are flickering. I didn't get the extended warranty, but still I don't think a TV that cost me $1500 should be having that kind of issues. Now, I am concerned because I am seeing other customers with the same problem. I have emailed the company. I only hope Mitsubishi pays to have it repaired.

It's the same problem as everyone else. I purchased a TV (DLP WD-73733) in 08, replaced the bulb in 10. It started getting white dots late 2011. Crazy. The two TVs I already had before getting this one still work and never have had a problem. Something's got to give. Please, someone start a lawsuit.

My 63 inch Mitsubishi TV is only a few years old. I noticed white dots about a month ago. Every day, they are increasing in number. I went online and found hundreds of complaints so I too called Mitsubishi. What was different about the response I got from the rep was that I should plug something into the TV as it was a plug and play to see if it wasn't my cable box that was causing the white spots. I told him that I didn't have anything else and that I shouldn't have to buy another component set or otherwise along with my TV to prove what he already knows about the defect in the television. I told him I did not want to play games with him and that I'm not plugging in anything else and that there are thousands of us with this problem and that he knew it.

Our 64" Mitsubishi DLP TV is expensive to maintain. It is only 4 years old. 6 months ago, I had to replace the bulb for about $280.00, not too bad. I guess, all I had to do was pop the old one out pop the new one in. But now, we are getting white dots. It started with one or two and in just a couple of weeks, there are now over 20. From what I am reading, I am expected to pay for the labor to get this fixed and there is no guarantee that it will stay fixed. I am not sure the money I have invested in this TV was money well spent. This TV is not very good quality and will most likely look at other brands when we purchase our next TV. Please place my name on the class action lawsuit. Thanks.

Back in January 2012, my Mitsubishi DLP 65-in 65735 TV needed a new lamp. After replacing the lamp, I started getting these white and black dots all over the screen. I contacted Mitsubishi concerning the issue and they sent a technician out to diagnose the problem. The technician stated the DMD chip was failing and needed to be replaced. Mitsubishi then agreed to supply the part, but I would be responsible for labor. Knowing my TV was out of warranty, I thought that was a good deal and so I agreed. The cost of labor was $145.00 and after replacing the DMD chip, my television was fixed - no more white and black dots.

I bought a Mitsubishi 65" DLP TV from ShopNBC about four years ago. I had to replace the bulb in the first six months after I got it. Now, recently, I am getting white dots and they are starting to multiply. Mitsubishi should stand behind their product and repair this apparent defect that is obviously inherent in their TV's. Everyone seems to have the same issue. ShopNBC should also step in and do something about it because several people have bought this TV from them and they continue to sell it. Count me in on any class action lawsuit. I won't buy Mitsubishi ever again.

After reading the long list of Mitsubishi TV complaints on many websites, I feel the need to add my own comments about Mitsubishi's lack of customer support. I own an "older" (7 years) rear projection 65” TV model WS-65513. Late last year, the picture started showing up as waves that continued to get worse as the TV warmed up. This was understandable since it's expected that electronics will need to be repaired as time goes on. What we didn't expect was the response from the TV repair technician that Mitsubishi no longer makes parts for this TV and that if he couldn't repair the part of the motherboard that was causing the waves, then the TV was gone.

I went to turn my Mitsubishi 65 DLP 3D HD on and I have sound but nothing on the screen. I ordered my TV from NBC Shopping Network a year ago.

Two years after paying $3000.00 for this 60-inch Mitsubishi TV, I had to replace the bulb. Now, I have several white dots all over the screen. What a piece of work. I see there are also a lot of other people having the same problems. Why won't the company recognize the problem and do the right thing? Either offer to fix the TV or replace the TV. Hey, Mitsubishi, do the right thing.

I bought a 73" Mitsubishi TV 4 or 5 years ago. The lamps have been replaced and now we have spots and more spots.

Mitsubishi model WD-C657 DLP TV has a defective DMD chip. This is common knowledge. Mitsubishi refuses to step up and repair the defective part, but will charge us $200 to repair their product! Mitsubishi has failed their customers and hides behind unethical one-sided corporate compromises.

I bought a 60-inch Mitsubishi 3D home cinema TV on November 2011. I called Dell and told them I needed it fixed. I bought a one-year extended warranty. Now, I find out that my extended warranty does not cover bulbs. I have to pay for it. It will pay for the service call. Now, I am hearing that after a few months, dots will start to appear until you can't see it anymore. I am still paying for this TV and that had better not happen with this one. Why is the bulb not included in the warranty? Is this happening to many of these TVs of yours? I didn’t plan on paying $159.00 for a bulb on a 1/12 year old TV. I appreciate it if you will contact me.

I bought a Mitsubishi TV on Nov 2007 at a cost of $2000. Few, seemingly minor problems along the way, including green flashing light which turns the TV off unexpectedly, bulb burned on screen. But now, and of most concern, prolific white dots across the screen. I didn't know if it was fixable at all nor what cost might be. I believed the only solution was to dump the TV in a landfill area? I found an online community with the same totally exact problems with their Mitsubishi TVs, even a Facebook page entitled simply: "I have a defective Mitsubishi TV". Along with this consumer affairs page on the subject, I learned of all nightmares others had gone through when attempting to get to Mitsubishi, let alone have them fix their TV problem(s).

My wife and I have a 73 inch DLP 73732 purchased 5 years ago from Best Buy with an extended 3 year warranty. Since then, we have had 3 bulbs go (barely use the TV... no kids) and have had the color wheel/engine go out for the second time. The first time, Best Buy came out and confirmed it was the "Engine" of the DLP when all the weird colors would blink green and blue. The cost for the part according to Best Buy was $1,400.00 without labor. Well, the warranty is over and the color wheel and bulb have failed once again.

White spots have appeared on our 4-year old 1080 DLP TV screen. A TV should last longer than 4 years. I will never buy another Mitsubishi TV.

Never buy a Mitsubishi! My TV light began blinking its green light. I googled the problem and found the bulb may need replacing. I went to the Mitsubishi website, ordered the bulb, and goggled how to replace it. I replaced the bulb and I made sure not to touch the bulb itself and now the TV doesn't come on at all. I have had the T.V. for about four years. I’m very disappointed!

I bought Mitsubishi TV model WD-60737, 2 years ago. This past January, I had to replace the bulb. Now, I have white and black spots on my TV. What’s up with this? I called Mitsubishi on March 16, 2012 and they said they would send the part to an authorized repaired shop but we had to pay $200.00 for labor. This is not right. People have to work hard for their money. We shouldn’t have to fix it so early. The company should stop making crappy TVs and selling it for high prices. Sign me up for a class action lawsuit. It’s not fair. Something needs to be done!

Mitsubishi 73", WD-73732 - I wish I would have known that so many people were having the same problems I was having. I purchased my 73" in January 2007 and in the first 6 months replaced the bulb. I have replaced 4 bulbs and fortunately, I had an extended warranty that covered it. Having problems with it that, it is now losing its color and I cannot get anyone at Mitsubishi to help me out, I wanted to order a new bulb from them and they don't even list my model so I cannot order it. I paid $4,000 and it is sad to say that it was only half good for 5 years.

Light is dead on my Mitsubishi DLP 57 inch TV after about two years. They're now the black and white dots. I will never buy another Mitsubishi TV again. I would love a class action lawsuit to teach them to sell a large piece of junk! I bought it on ShopNBC.

I have had my television for about 4 years. It is a Mitsubishi WD-60735 and the lamp keeps going out. This is crazy. Companies do recalls on many different things to show their apologies for a product going bad or messing up and Mitsubishi should do the same thing. They should replace our TVs. I mean, gosh, we paid a lot for the TV when we bought it and for repairs. It’s unreal. I am very dissatisfied with them. I wish there were something we all could do for them to make it right.

I purchased the 60-inch Mitsubishi in December 2010 from QVC and the expensive bulb has conked out already! I was shocked when I read all of the problems that others have had with the bulb replacement and white dots. Guess I know what is coming next after bulb replacement. I learned my lesson. No more Mitsubishi TVs for me!

I have a Mitsubishi 1080p 73" TV that I bought in 2008. In September 2011, my lamp went out, which I paid $150.00 to replace. Three months later, I now have black and white spots on my screen. My television looks like the galaxy. I love my TV, but I am in no position to pay such a steep price to replace the DMD chip. If there is any class action lawsuit against Mitsubishi, please include me in the filing. Mitsubishi should correct these problems from consumers who have already paid thousands for the TV and then hundreds more for repairs, and before selling to unsuspecting consumers.

I purchased my TV about 4 years ago. Just this week, I've started getting white spots on the screen. Every time I turn on the TV there are more and more spots. From reading different comments, this is a common and very expensive problem with Mitsubishi TVs. I would like to be a part of any class action suit! This TV was way too expensive to go out like this.

I experienced the same thing as everyone else in this forum. White spots started appearing, multiplied, and now our TV doesn't have a picture anymore. I bought Mitsubishi since I was raised on these TVs and their quality has been impressive. My parents still have one of their old Mitsubishis that's 20-plus years old. I bought a 55" Mitsubishi big screen, one of the old school models that served as a TV and piece of furniture all in one. That thing lasted a good 8 years, so when it came time to replace it, I had tunnel vision where I only looked at Mitsubishi. I bought a 60" DLP (because you always have to go bigger) and have been impressed yet again with another quality Mitsubishi product. 14 months later (just long enough not to be covered by their warranty), my high quality Mitsubishi product became a high quality piece of junk. What happened, Mitsubishi? You're losing your loyal customers in droves. Model: WD-60638. Serial: 138605. Manufactured: October 2010.

73" Mitsubishi TV model wd-73733 - I replaced the lamp 3 times. It has white dots. I bought the TV in ‘08. No one wants to take care of it. I think Mitsubishi should buy their junk back. Any lawsuit, count me in.

We have had our WD-77534 Mitsubishi for 4 years and 3 months and are completely disappointed in it. About 6 months ago, we had to replace a lamp and another lamp about 2 months later. Now, about a month ago, we started getting white spots on TV. I did some research and found out it is the DMD (Digital Mirror Device) and that the mirror stops working. Little tiny mirrors start freezing up. There are, I think, 2000 or 20,000 of them. I don't remember. And now we have about 1000 on our screen. It looks like a constellation with an attitude! Anyhow, to replace them will be $250 if it's a stand alone part. If it's part of another part, it's $750. What the hell? We bought the TV from HSN and they raved about it. We have a Hitachi old school TV that still works flawlessly and we haven't put a red cent in to it. Sign me up for class action. Whatever! I’m disgruntled behind repair. This is the last Mitsubishi we will own unless someone makes things right!

WD73833 - Concave picture that has been worked on since Oct 2011. The bulb went out twice. The warranty company will replace it with a downgraded TV. I will contact my state attorney general. They do get results. If everyone does this, there will be a class action started by the states. You have to contact your state attorney general's office first though. You can reach me at **.

62'' Mitsubishi TV black and white dots - Last month, it started with one dot in the right lower quadrant. Now, I see too many to count all over the screen. I bought the TV based on its name, company reputation and my belief that the TV would last as long as the car. Wrong choice. I would join in a class action suit. I spent too ** much money on this thing. This one is about 5 years old.

I purchased a TV for $3,000 a couple years ago. I brought it to a local Authorized Mitsubishi Service center after contacting Mitsubishi in regards to my issue. The result from the Service Center was that the part to fix my TV was $3,720.

I posted back in February about my 73" TV. It is approaching the time when I will need to get rid of this piece of junk and buy a new TV. I am knocking Mitsubishi every chance I get. They are thieves! And somebody please tell me what in the world one does with a junk TV this big. Does the lemon law not cover stuff like this?

Mitsubishi WD-57732 TV - I replaced the bulb 3 times. Now for the past month, I keep getting more and more white dots on the screen. I called ABC Warehouse to let them know there was an issue. The manager went on and on about how the one he bought was fine and that he knew why I bought it, because it was on sale. Not true, the salesman said all that I would ever have to repair is the bulb. Wrong. The optical engine is bad and it is so expensive you might as well buy a new TV. He went on to also say it was four and a half years old and insinuated that it should be expected! I will never buy a Mitsubishi product again!

I have had the 65" DLP for almost 5 years, but we do not watch it as much as we did initially. The first white dot appeared just about mid-December. We now have over 50 of them, and they are multiplying every time we turn on the TV. I expected this to last a lot longer than just a few years. I am extremely disappointed in Mitsubishi. I thought I was buying a top quality set. This will be my last.

We bought this TV (WD-Y657) in 2007 and now there are a lot of black and white spots all over the screen. Please help. We need someone to let us know if they can help us file a claim and get reimbursed with Mitsubishi or if there is a class action lawsuit.

I am writing to write my extreme displeasure with a purchase of a KWD-82840 television I purchased on December 22, 2011 and received delivery of shortly after the new year of 2012. Upon delivery in early January 2012, this television has never worked. It is now March and I have been going back and forth with your customer service department since then. Also, the primary reason I purchased the new Mitsubishi television was to enjoy the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl with friends and family in my entertainment room. My family and friends love that I usually have a wonderful entertainment set up for such events as the Super Bowl but obviously this did not work out as planned. I would also like to mention I am an A/V hobbyist and have a Sharp Aquos in my office, and 5 Sony Bravia televisions throughout my home. Prior to purchasing your Mitsubishi, I had a 60 Sony SXRD I purchased in 2006 for my entertainment room which still worked great but I wanted an upgrade in size. I chose the Mitsubishi over the new Sharp 80" LCD screen and it is proving to be one of the biggest mistakes I have made in a long time.

Do not buy a Mitsubishi TV - I bought a Mitsubishi 65 inch DLP television in 2010. It's been serviced 5 times, I had three bulbs some kind of optical block and has had the thing with the white dots and the ball just went out again today. I got almost 6000 dollars for a paperweight. Something needs to be done.

Two yrs ago, we bought our Mitsubishi 73 inch TV from Fry's electronics in Arlington, Texas. My husband picked it up one evening after work and they loaded it in the truck for him. When he arrived home at 8:30 pm and easily unloaded it and opened the box, we found the whole screen to be busted out. We called Fry's from both phones and were told too bad. Of course, that was unacceptable for us seeing how we just paid $3500 for it and the stand. After two days of fighting with them, we were told that they would review the store video and show us that they inspect every TV that leave the store before it leaves. After 30-minute wait, they called back and said for us to bring the TV back and they would replace it. All the manager could say is they could not prove the TV had been inspected before it left the store so they replaced it.

I replaced the bulb about five months ago, which, I have found, is a common place. However, I am highly upset that about two months ago, I started seeing the dreaded white and black dots appearing. At this time, 80% of the screen is covered and practically unwatchable. I wish to be placed on any lists for class action or recall action on this product. I have a 57" Mitsubishi DLP (Model: WD57731).

The bulb went out on the TV. I purchased on new one for $200.00 and a week after that the black and white dots started to appear--from a couple to now over 50. For the amount of money this TV cost and the amount for the bulb, this is just not right for the TV. It’s only 3 years old to do this. I believe Mitsubishi should be responsible for all the TVs that are having this problem. I have read dozens of complaints and something needs to be done.

I bought the TV about four years ago and started having thermal sensor problems almost immediately. The red lamp warning sign would turn on after just a minute or two of use. Repeated contacts with the company gave no response but for me to buy a new bulb from them ($200 or so) if resetting does not solve the problem.

I purchased a 65" Mitsubishi TV in September of 2009. Precisely one year later the bulbs needed replacing, and about on the year following (currently) there are white dots started appearing on the screen. Each day more and more dots are showing up on the screen. This TV was not cheap and I am very angry that Mitsubishi has not recalled it or acknowledged that this problem is widespread. Should they decide to recall the TV after all or address this problem, I would like to be included.

I first had a lamp replaced, after having the TV for 1 year. Then, little white dots started appearing. Now, they are all over the screen, and there is no solution! Please help! I’m on a fixed income, and can't afford to buy another TV! All I can say is that I always thought highly of Mitsubishi products, but with the problem that I'm having, and also reading hundreds of others having the same problem, this will be the last time for me ever buying your products. I want to be reimbursed and/or be included in any class action lawsuit available (model number: wd-y577 serial number: 101177).

My 65" TV DLP Mitsubishi is over 5 years old and spots clear and black are covering my screen. It started slow and then rapidly sped up, until daily it’s looking like the solar system in my TV. I realize there are those who have only had their TV a year or so and got this problem. Apparently, there is a defect in this type of TV from all the complaints I've read on the consumer website. Why has the company Mitsubishi has not tried to address this problem? If any actions are taken against the company for this, I would like to be included. Thank you.

65" DLP TV bulbs don't last very long. Poor design and the TV is very expensive to keep running.

I just heard a loud band go off inside my television. I was hoping it was an inexpensive bulb. That could easily be replaced. As I read all of the posts on this website from people with the exact same product, I'm angry to find out replacing the bulb on my television is an expensive temporary fix. The best decision seems to be getting rid of the defective beast of a television that once made me so happy and stare at my computer screen until I can once again save enough money to buy another television that is not a Mitsubishi.

Mitsubishi sold DLP TVs to unsuspecting consumers. Within a few months after purchasing the 73" DLP TV from hh gregg the picture went out and was making a broken glass sound. We replaced a bulb (over $200). We've since made two more bulb replacements. Then the white dots appeared. Now I have about 200 dots and the TV is almost unwatchable. All of these TVs will soon be filling our landfills, not some but all. The cost of repair (even if you found someone to do it) would equal the cost of a new TV. I would love for a lawyer to contact me regarding a class action suit. I've never been involved in one but I would be to make Mitsubishi pay. They are still selling these TVs to people who do not know. Mine is going in my front yard with a huge sign: "Don't buy Mitsubishi.”

I purchased my TV from QVC, 3 years ago. The price was great. The TV was great at first. My husband thanked me everyday. 2 days ago, the TV screen started getting darker. I thought somebody had changed the brightness on the TV, but no. The next day, we could barely see the people on the TV, because it was so dark. This morning, I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. I have sound, but no picture. Why? I've had other TVs that lasted 10-15 years. This shouldn't be happening to this 3 year old TV. Now I have to buy a new TV. I am very disappointed and angry!

We purchased a new 73" Mitsubishi TV (model # WD-73733) on 09/29/2007. Less than six months the later, the lamp went out, and the TV would not turn on. After weeks of phone calls, the problem was solved. Now, there are tiny white dots appearing on the screen. This is definitely a defective product. We have 3 other flat screen TVs in our home, so it's not that we are watching from this TV 24 hours a day. It's just a poorly made product. Something needs to be done legally with this company!

I purchased my WD60735 Mitsubishi TV in 2008 and was very satisfied until the picture bulb "exploded". I contacted Mitsubishi and they advised me that the unit was out of warranty and suggested I contact a service dealer, which I did. I bought a new bulb ($185) and now after 4 months, the white dots are starting to appear. Before I contacted a service dealer, I noticed that many other buyers of this unit, as well as other Mitsubishi TVs are having the same problems. It would appear that there is a design fault in the new TVs and Mitsubishi should make it right with the current owners. Please add my name to the list if any action is taken.

Extremely disappointed with Mitsubishi 65" TV WD65736. I'm writing in regards to my 65" Mitsubishi TV. It's 3 and 1/2 years old and at the time when I purchased it, I only bought a 3-year extended warranty which ran out last August of 2011. I replaced the bulb last August right before the warranty ran out. Now I'm faced with this flickering white dot in the center of the screen and these black dots that seem to be growing daily. I called Mitsubishi and was told that some chip was needed and that they would cover the part, which was $150.00 and some change. But I would have to pay $200.00 labor.

I can't believe that my 3-year-old TV is already dying on me! It's like I'm seeing the solar system in my TV with all the white dots in my screen. First, the lamp needed replacing last year which was not a big deal, as the salesperson told us it's common to replace that part after 3 years. But then white dots started appearing on my screen. And now, 3 months later, 75% of the TV screen is covered with those spots; and my HD color is almost gone (lighter color) too!

Mitsubishi DLP 52" TV - Had this TV for about 3 years, just replaced the lamp and now, it has different color dots going through our TV. I spent over $3,000 on this TV, I shouldn't have to spend anymore for it this soon.

We bought our TV in 2008. We replaced the bulb and had the white dots fixed with our warranty in 2011. Now not even a year later we have our TV shutting off with the lamp light coming on. The TV repairman that fixed it last year said if we have the same problem with the dots, which start once the bulb goes, we should just replace the TV since it is so expensive to fix. We paid $3000 for the TV and warranty which has now expired and do not have money to just buy a new TV. If they know they are selling a defective product, something should be done about it. We would like to join a class action lawsuit if there is one.

As I am finding out, my problem is typical to Mitsubishi large screen DLPs. Certain resistors in the DM and E2P circuit boards are causing the screen to shut down aka "the blinking green light of death" or blue screen. While the problem is repairable for a reasonable fee if the parts can be purchased, Mitsubishi will only provide the parts to "Authorized repair shops". This results in higher parts and labor costs because you are at their mercy. I could have my 5yr old unit repaired for about $200-$300 if I could get the parts. As things are, it's more like $500-$800, the cost for a new large screen from a reputable company. So here I sit having to reset my TV at least 6 times a day.

I owned this 65" Mitsubishi for about 4 years and replaced the lamp about 1 year ago. And now, there are black specks all over the inside of the screen, and they are multiplying day to day. Think Mitsubishi would have a recall on their product with so many people having the same problems. Contact me if there is a class action lawsuit. Will not buy another Mitsubishi again!

We also have had the TV for less than 3 years, I had replaced the bulb, luckily when it was still under warranty. We are on a fixed income and when purchased this TV we were assured about the only thing that could go wrong was the bulb as compared to the other TVs they referred to as 5 -7 years throw away. So we figured, go with the large screen and replace the bulb along the way and it would last. We had no idea of this on-going problem. With growing white dots on screen. Yes, we would definitely join in a law suit, it is about time companies stand up and make their expensive junk good.

Mitsubishi has ignored my repeated attempts to rectify my problem. In the first year I owned it, the bulb blew three times. It now sits in my living room, taking up space. I am about to file a suit against them in small claims court, and am contacting my state attorney general.

I own 3 DLP TVs--60," 65," and the 73." The 73" has the dots so I know that I am in trouble. Please get this right. I have received no support from Mitsubishi. They are manufacturing defective TVs, for sure. Now, I have three TVs to worry about. Dummy me!

I purchased this TV new in October 2007. I replaced the bulb twice. Now it has white spots showing up all over the screen. Based upon the comments here, I will replace other than attempt to have it repaired.

I purchased a Mitsubitshi TV 65inch model WD65737 in July 2009. It now has white spots appearing on the screen, multiplying almost daily. My wife and I are retired and living on social security and cannot afford another TV or a very large repair bill. From reading all the complaints about this same problem from other Mitsibushi TV owners, I feel this is something the company should take care of. I am sure they know about this problem. I would appreciate any help or advice I can get.

I have the exact same problem as everyone else here. It’s almost a pathetic and disappointing song and dance. I bought an expensive 73" Mitsubishi Diamond series TV in early 2008. I was very happy until bulb blew up like a gun shot. Replaced bulb and within two months, white and black spots covering the majority of the screen. Warranty is out--surprise! TV repairman says it is the DLP chip and I can order one online for about $250 and when it gets in he will charge me a $60 service fee and $150 hourly rate. I thought this was some rare occurrence until I started investigating and found hundreds, if not thousands of people with the exact same problem. If Mitsubishi knew about this problem with the chip, they should have fixed it. If they didn't, they have known about it since before I bought my TV obviously so that is extremely corrupt. I will join a class action suit also. This TV is very expensive--$4000 and is not disposable! Mitsubishi: do something about this! Never buy anything from Mitsubishi again.

I bought a Mitsubishi 73 inch TV and it lasted for a year then boom the light bulb blew up. I was never told about this problem when I was buying this TV. I paid over $3,000 for it. My other big screen I've had it for over 10 years and I have never had one problem. Anyways, a couple of months after I fixed the bulb, it started getting white dots everywhere. I thought that's weird, a TV that has a key selling point of a great picture have such a problem. It got so bad I can't even watch it anymore. So I tried to get a new one from Mitsubishi and they said that they could not sell me that part even though they showed it on the picture of parts. They were impossible to deal with. I can't believe a big name company like Mitsubishi would run their business like that, not to mention that some people have written on the internet that they got that same part for free. I will never buy anything from Mitsubishi ever again. Tell everyone you know about this. They are selling junk.

I paid $5,000 for a 73" TV from Leadbetter's TV in Maryville. It lasted 1 month. They sent it to a repair shop in Knoxville. They kept it one year, and could not fix it. Leadbetter's replaced it with one costing about $2,000, cheating us out of rest of the money. The original bulb in the 2nd TV sounded like it exploded. I replaced the bulb, and now have white spots all over the TV screen. Both of the TVs have made loud popping sounds all hours of the day and night, even after they have been off for 24 hours. Southern TV says it needs a light engine. It was burnt on its LCD prism.

I purchased a Mitsubishi (wd65737) from Paul's TV on 1/17/10. When they delivered the set and plugged it, it came on for a minute, and then shut itself down. The delivery guys (not from Paul's TV) said that every other set they tried to deliver did the same thing. 50% washout rate right there! They brought me another set two days later, and it worked. Fourteen months later, the new set started to do the same thing. I called Paul's TV only to be given Mitsubishi's complaint number, and a list of authorized repair shops. So far two shops have looked at it.

We purchased a Mitsubishi 60" WD60735 in 2008, and just a month ago, it began developing white spots and small black flecks on the screen as well. We have never had any problems with any other of our HD TV's (from other brands), and we have owned them for much longer! The white and black spots continue to multiply. We have put in a call to customer service at Mitsubishi, but from all we have been reading in the forums, we do not feel very hopeful for a satisfactory response from this company. For the money we spent on this TV, we should not be having these issues.

I bought my TV on February 9, 2011, thru Dell and it took me a month to even get the Mitsubishi TV customer service number. On March 2, 2011, I filed my first complaint. It took me until December 8, just to get them to send out a repair technician. Many parts later and terrible phone calls later, they are trying to replace my TV with their lowest model they make now. I understand it is bigger, but I live in a condo and don't need bigger.

We have now replaced our lamp 6 times since we purchased in 2007. A year ago, the light engine was replaced and the color wheel. This was done after a month of describing our "lemon" 65-inch DLP's problems to Mitsubishi personnel. We sent our TV out to an electronics repair shop approved by Mitsubishi, but not us. We didn't get our TV back for almost 3 months. One month after the supposed repairs were done, we began to see wavy muted blotchy pictures. Mitsubishi said this was from a bad cable. None of my other TVs had this problem. This has never been resolved, we just couldn't wait on the phone for help or discussions for another month. Our bulb is out again! Mitsubishi knows fully well they have a problem product, as do the electronics stores that sell them. We have paid far too much money and time for this TV. We should get our money back, period!

About 4 years ago, my husband bought me a 60 inch Mitsubishi 1080P 57734 model TV as I had to have both hips replaced for a total of 13 surgeries and could do nothing but lay down and watch TV or read. I was not that into TV but you can't help noticing something that big. We bought the extended warranty. It's a good thing we did as the lamp blew out quite frequently. Sometimes it would just not turn back on and then other times it literally exploded like a gunshot.

I purchased the 65" Mitsubishi TV WD-C657 on 12/06/07 and also purchased the 24-month on site service plan for an extra $210.99.This service plan would start after the Mitsubishi one-year warranty ended. 12/15/11 TV started with one white spot in the middle of the screen. One week later two more spots showed up within a 12-inch area in the center of the screen. Two weeks later the lamp goes out. Replaced the lamp and now I have a hole bunch of black spots all over the entire screen plus the white spots I had before. Great TV until it started going south. Hope that Mitsubishi stands behind their products and do the right thing.

I purchased the WD-73733 73 inch DLP 1080P TV and within 3 months, it has crashed and appears to be the lamp to start off with. It is ridiculous that I am even having to worry about this when it wasn't 3 months ago. It was a brand new addition and now, I'm facing dumping more money in a brand new TV. If any one is wanting to start a lawsuit, I've joined other sites that are trying to get one together and just wanting to put my story out there for strength and numbers. There is no way this many people have had this problem and they have done nothing about it. This is as bad as someone breaking into your house and stealing out of your wallet to me, only they did it with lies and a smile to my face.

I bought a 65 inch Mitsubishi about 4 years ago . I changed the bulb 3 times and now I have thousands of white dots. After reading all the complaints with the same problems, I also fell Mitsubishi should be held accountable and fix or replace the TVs . It's too many people with the same problem. It has to be a defect.

I purchased the 73" Mitsubishi Diamond TV when it first came out, and I paid $5,000 for it. The first 3 years I had the TV, it was fine. Then all of the sudden, it started turning off by itself randomly before it finally died. I didn't know what it was so I called the warranty service, they sent an authorized Mitsubishi TV repairman and he had no clue what was wrong with the TV. So, he wrote it off as a loss and suggested that I call the warranty service, and get my check to buy a new replacement TV.

I am looking for yet another lamp for my wd-65831. This is my fourth lamp in six years. I have not experienced any white spots yet. In reading other posts, I am afraid to buy another lamp because someone suggested that the spots show up after a lamp change. All the lamps that I have purchased cost me $249-279 and until now, I have had no white spots. I noticed that there are now replacement lamps for my model that cost $64. My question is "are these low cost lamps contributing to the proliferation of white spots showing up on TVs?"

Apparently, I have one of these Mitsubishi televisions that everyone else is having problems with. There should be something that we can all do. If the company knew that something was defective, then they should have notified all of us for a recall.

I purchased a Mitsubishi 73" DLP from Costco less than 3 years ago. Replaced the lamp several months back and soon after got my first white dot on the screen. As of today I have a couple dozen white dots and several dozen black specs (on white backgrounds) covering the screen. Mitsubishi will not sell light engines to anyone other than a recognized Mitsubishi service center, and they want more for that part than the value of the entire television. I will never purchase another Mitsubishi product ever again. $2000 televisions are not what I consider disposable products. Mitsubishi should be forced to replace all these defective DLP light engines!

I have a 65-inch Mitsubishi DLP, I recently changed the lamp and I have white spots on the screen, so far I have gotten one per day. The TV cost me almost $2000.00, I'm out of warranty but I still think we are getting ripped off. I had always believed Mitsubishi was a top of the line. I guess I was wrong. I'm also going to look into a lawsuit.

My first dot appeared on December 26, 2011. Now, I have many white spots and hundreds of black spots. Thanks to this forum. I had probably saved a couple of weeks in calls to Mitsubishi.

I bought a new Mitsubishi model WD62725 for $3599.00 in June 2005. On September 14, 2006 I had to replace the lamp. Since then I have had to replace the lamp four other times plus a number of calls regarding the TV just turning it self off for no reason. To date I have spent $2070.00 in repairs. Now our TV repair man indicated I need to spend another $724.00 to resolve other problems. I have a case number that has been opened for about two years, to no results. This TV has been a constant problem since I bought it. This TV was a problem from the date it was released. They new. The repair man said it was a problem also. Now Mitsubishi it telling me it is out of warranty and can only replace the parts that total to $300.00. Nothing but lip service. Please help me.

My 60" WD62528 has been giving me problems beginning of 2008 (2 years after I purchased it in 2006). I have had to replace the lamp, at my cost. The TV went to the shop 3 times. I cannot stop the worry if this television is going to come on or not. Today, it keeps freezing and turns itself off. This is the same problem I had before. I am sick and tired of this TV. I have spent over $600.00 for repair.

I have a Mitsubishi wd65733 which is just 4 years old and has a complete summer night on whole right half of screen! It’s unbearable to watch and definitely a known big problem! Just Google it! I contacted Mitsubishi back and forth for over a week now and was told for $105 a repairman would come out replace DMD chip for me! Don’t believe I should have to pay anything especially after the first costumer service rep told me this was a problem they were aware of and he would file claim. So anyway they call me back week later to tell me they’d fixed it since I gave in for $105.

We have a 60" TV (model #WD-60737). It is less than 3 years old. We have replaced the lamp, which cost over $500.00. Now, we have white dots starting all over our TV screen. This is beyond poor quality. We are severely dissatisfied, and want to hear from you immediately. This needs to be recalled.

We have a 65 in 1080p that is not even four years old. Suddenly, these white dots have started showing up all over the screen. We spent good money on this television, and are not happy.

Horrible! I am still waiting to hear back from Mitsubishi. Let's get together and file a law suit. I paid $4,000 for a 73" TV four years ago. Then, it started getting white dots and started multiplying every day. As of today, we have at least three to four dozen dots all over the screen. According to the TV repair person, we need to replace the "Light Engine Assembly" which is going to cost around $1,225 plus tax for part and $350 for labor.

I had to put 1 star as couldn't put zero. We bought a 73787 DLP less than two years ago. I have changed the bulb already, now to have the TV stuck on welcome, with a perpetual blue screen. I tried contacting the reps, poor service. Hopefully, a class action suit will be initiated and people can be helped because the company sure isn't! Do not buy one! Don't say you weren't warned.

Don’t buy a Mitsubishi DLP HDTV. I bought my first one about 10 years ago and it broke for good less than 6 years later. It was obsolete and the parts weren’t available for it to be repaired. I thought that must have been a fluke and bought a Mitsubishi 60 1080p DLP HDTV 4 years ago. Two months after the warranty expired, I had to replace the lamp for several hundred dollars and now I have a TV with little white dots and more appearing every day. I have learned that the DMD chip needs to be replaced. This repair will cost more than buying a new one. I bought a Sony 36 television at the same time as my first Mitsubishi and it still works perfect with no repairs.

We bought the Mitsubishi 73-inch TV WD 73734 about 3 years ago and paid $4500.00 for the TV. The lamp had been replaced on 7-3-10, which my husband did by himself after purchasing the lamp from a Mitsubishi center. Don't pay someone to change it for you as they would charge $300.00 to change it. It took my husband about 15 min. to change it.

I purchased a 65 inch DLP HDTV from Costco in 2008. It is out of warranty. Now it has a multitude of white spots. Contact me if there is a class action or other type of lawsuit filed on this issue so I can join it.

I bought my 57" 3 years ago. I replaced the lamp twice and it’s now full of white dots. Mitsubishi sent a tech to look at it and tried to stiff me with the service call! Finally, I got them to pay for that. Told me they'd take care of everything but now want me to pay for half of the labor! I told them (again) I am not putting another dime into this TV! They are supposed to call me back in a few days. Told them I am looking for class action suit. Is there one?

I purchased a 60 Mitsubishi DLP TV. All of a sudden, we had to replace the lamp; after replacing the lamp, I was so excited to be back using the TV. Then 1 day out the clear blue sky when I turned the TV off, there were these 2 little white dots on the screen. I didn't really think nothing of it; I kind of shrugged it off. The next day there were 5, then 7, then 9. Within weeks to a month, I have millions of white dots covering my entire TV (looks like the galaxy and gives me the creeps). I called Mitsubishi before the entire screen was covered when I noticed that more and more were covering the screen; they told me to unplug the cable box. I stated that there was no cable box plugged to the TV. I'm still waiting on a call back from Mitsubishi to tell me what the problem is. After reading all of the posts/complaints, it behooves me that Mitsubishi act as if this is their first time hearing of this problem when I called.

We have a 72 inch Mitsubishi DLP HDT that has dots all over the screen. I've also been calling and complaining to Mitsubishi for three month's and we have a warranty with them and all we've been getting is the run around we will never buy anything with the Mitsubishi name on it ever again!

As everyone else in this page, I'm sick and tired dealing with Mitsubishi TV. This problem is never going to go away, just want to include myself for a class action suit. The more we are, the more chances for our voices to be heard.

I purchased a DLP HDTV of theirs, almost 4 years ago. It's a WD-65733. It has been an awesome TV, flawless, until I replaced the bulb (with an OEM Philips unit). Then about a week later, a white spot showed up, and today another. By going with others' reviews, I read a lot of reviews, and it seems it starts happening a lot, right after a bulb changed. Is this a coincidence, or is the new bulb somehow causing the issue? If this problem isn't fixed easily, I will never buy Mitsubishi and/or DLP ever again. Like others here, if there is a class action suit, please contact me.

I bought the extended warranty on the projection screen TV after the bulb went out. It was replaced by the Geek Squad then whit dots have started.

Since the first month, we had the 65 inch our screen would turn a shade of red green and a high pitched squeal would start, the screen would then become jumpy like a bad streaming video. They said that what I described has never happened with their TV but proceeded to tell me it was the color wheel, whatever that is. We absorbed a 50 dollar fee for shipping and the service guys could not find the problem but changed color wheel anyway.

I have been considering buying a Mitsubishi 92 inch DLP TV. If you purchase this or any other TV from Amazon and the re-seller is not listed as an authorized reseller, then Mitsubishi will not honor their product warranty. This is a direct quote from a customer service rep as of a few minutes ago. In addition, various resellers have indicated that Mitsubishi is playing hardball with regard to their MSRP. I have forwarded the details of all of this to the FTC. Considering the poor performance (with regard to reliability) of Mitsubishi TVs from personal experience and recent Consumer Reports, I believe that this info needs to be shared.

I bought a Mitsubishi 73-in TV, Model# WD-73736. I've had it since July 2009. I have white spots all over the screen. With all the complaints of the same problem, you would think Mitsubishi would be honorable to its customers who have spent hard earned money on their products take full responsibility for the obvious production of inferior parts. The claims of high quality and long life turned out to be the total opposite. Please contact me if anybody does a class action suit and hopefully Mitsubishi will soon make a responsible decision to replace these TVs.

There were white dots on TV after bulb replacement. Same problem as everyone. I was glad that I didn't have to throw away $300 for extended warranty. My bulb lasted 4 years, and now that I've replaced it, I noticed two white dots on the left side of my TV. I thought it was nothing, until the dots started adding up and most of the screen is covered with them. I'm glad I only bought one bulb and are now looking for a new TV. If there's a lawsuit out there, please include me.

Mitsubishi 57in Model WD-57733: I got this TV back in Sept 2008 at Circuit City who is now out of business in the Atlanta area. On Nov. 23, 2011, my husband heard a popping noise. The TV went dark, only producing sound. A local TV repairman came and replaced the light bulb at $259 that included labor and one bulb replacement. The week before Christmas 2011, the little dots/specs/stars everyone is talking about came to visit. I took someone's advice that posted a complaint on this website and called Mitsubishi and complained. I told them I knew it was the DMD chip because of this website. They have offered to send out a Mitsubishi authorized dealer in my area here in Georgia and my part of the tab is to pay $300.

Replaced bulb after 3 years of use. 2 weeks later, white dots began appearing on screen.

I bought a WD60735 in April 2009. Same problems as others with picture quality (i.e. white and black spots and lamps burning out well before their rated life). Mitsubishi offers no help in resolving these issues through their customer service. When the TV works it's fantastic; but like I said, it rarely works. If there is a class action suit started, I wish to be included in it, please!

Contacted Conn's to renew warranty 1 week after it expired. They said to contact Mitsubishi, we said, "never mind", after that being told. They were good to sell $3000. Mitsubishi HDTV in December 2007. We paid off bill in one year. Then they didn't want anything to do with us. Our TV had the bulb replaced after 1 yr. Now, it is Jan 1, 2012 and TV looks like it has the measles. Maybe 400 dots, this is not good. Help, please.

We have a 73 " model wd73837 and we're getting both white and black spots. It was purchased last 10/26/09.

I have a 65 inch replaced bulb twice. Now there are so many white dots I can barely watch it. It is only 4 years old. Mitsubishi says get a tech. Maybe we will help expensive TV. Would appreciated more support who knows what you are talking to and where they are.

I bought a Mitsubishi 62-in TV, serial# 101807 model#wd-65c9. I've had it since 2-26-11. I have white spots all over the screen. I've had a TV repair man charge me 95 dollars to tell me it will cost another 800 dollars to fix it. With all the complaints of the same problem, you would think Mitsubishi would be honorable to its customers who have spent hard earned money on there products.

I have the same complaint. After only two and a half years, I have spots all over my screen. This is ridiculous considering the initial investment. I watched this TV be advertised as the great alternative to much higher cost televisions on MSN shopping channel. The claims of high quality and long life turned out to be a load of crap. I will now begin the process of trying to get Mitsubishi to take responsibility for the obvious production of inferior parts. Please contact me if anybody does a class action suit and I will continue to share the information as to get them to make a responsible decision to replace these TVs.

I paid around $1800 in 2008 at BEST BUY for a Mitsubishi TV (model number wd65733). It has spots showing up all over the screen. I haven’t been able to contact anyone from Mitsubishi about it. I think they should recall them but it’s probably not going to happen. It’s an $1800 ** going to be in dumpster soon.

WD-57831 Unit had been working great. I purchased it on the end of 2007. The lamp went out and I knew that replacing lamps would happen but well below their stated normal life span. Well now after a $100.00 service fee and two lamp replacements, I discovered that my light engine has also failed, $800.00 to replace. Not even four years and my repair costs are over $1,000.

I have a Mitsubishi WD65735. I purchased the TV brand new on December 28, 2008. It's now December 28, 2011 and the TV is exactly 3 years old. I just replaced the lamp for the first time in November 2011 and I was really pleased with the life of the original lamp. To my surprise, a week or so ago, I noticed a small white spot in the middle right on screen. I didn't think much of it at first, thought it was a possible broadcast issue with a movie we were watching. Today, I noticed another spot. The spots seem to show up when the screen changes frames and then disappear. Concerned, I started doing some research on the Internet for possible causes. I came across numerous reviews about the light engine failing in the television within 2 to 3 years of use. When the light engine begins to fail, you begin to see white and black spots on your TV screen.

White spots all over screen of TV. After extensive research, turns out Best Buy knew about problem, yet continued to sell to consumers.

The Mitsubishi WD-65736 purchased on Dec 8, 2010 began exhibiting white spots several months ago. Now it has about 100 white spots and many black spots too, due to the mirrors on the DLP chip failing and getting stuck in either the open or closed position. I paid $100 to have Mitsubishi's authorized technician to come out and tell me what I already knew. It needs a new DLP chip or a new light engine. Now I am waiting on Mitsubishi Consumer Relations to respond with a resolution. This appears to be a very widespread and common problem with poor quality, defective DLP chips. I expect a TV to last more than 2-1/2 years. If a class action is initiated, I want to know about it.

As many of you have experienced, there are problems that arise from these TVs. Here is my solution. If you do not get any satisfaction from the original seller, return it to them through the front window of their business. Guaranteed to get some notice from them. After the second or third TV that magically appears on there business premises, I guarantee they will be doing something for you. Worked great for me.

I bought a Mitsubishi 73" DLP model 73734 in August 2008. I have replaced the bulb 4 times within 3 years. I had an extended warranty that covered all but the cost of one bulb. Due to the bulbs not being readily available, (I assume because of the high demand for them) I had to purchase an off brand bulb at my expense or just go without TV for 4 weeks. It appears that I will have to shell out at least $250 a year for a new bulb from here on out as this seems to be the life span of them. The last bulb was replaced under warranty in August 2011, one day prior to the warranty expiring. Prior to this, I started to notice a couple of small white dots on the left side of the screen. I was told by the technician that a new bulb would remedy the problem as it was probably dust on the bulb. After installation, I did not watch TV for a few days and upon turning it on, realized that there were even more dots, both black and white. Now I have hundreds of dots that make it miserable to watch TV.

I purchased my 57" DLP 1080p WD57734 television approximately 3 years ago. I am beginning to get small white dots on the right side of the screen. I contacted the company who wants me to put out another $262.15 to have a service repair on the TV. They will cover the cost of the chip which runs anywhere from $150-250.00. This will "supposedly" fix the problem. If not, it will cost an additional $95.00 to have the service people come out to look at it again. I refuse to dump any more money into a TV that appears to have a manufacturing defect.

I purchased a new 65" Mitsubishi DLP in March 2009. It worked well but then we had to replace the bulb in April 2011. Now, we have the start of "white spot syndrome." It started with just a couple and within a few weeks, it is multiplying. I would like to be made aware of any further action to be taken to solve this issue. Mitsubishi should stand behind their product and try to salvage their reputation. Prior to this purchase, we believed that they made a reliable product. Now, question their integrity.

We have noticed about 20 white dots and even more black dots on our 65" Mitsubishi TV. We bought it from RCWileys in 2008. We have also had to replace 2 bulbs since we bought it. I think there are enough people having the same issue so we should have a class action lawsuit. I will never buy another Mitsubishi product.

I purchased my Mitsubishi DLP HD Model 57734 57-inch on 2/26/2008. We noticed the "white dot syndrome" about 6 months ago. I have contacted Mitsubishi and got the same response as everyone on this page, TV is out of warranty and I would be responsible for all replacement parts and labor.

We bought our 53-inch Mitsubishi TV on 8/30/2005. We have just ordered our 6th bulb! The last one was ordered on 7/18/11. We feel that the least you could do is ship it overnight without charging $54 (that’s what the phone rep said) for overnight. In fact, we should be compensated for having to put out that kind of money so often. The picture is very good and we're pleased with it otherwise. Thanks.

I purchased my WD-57733 TV in 2008. Until recently, it had been a TV that I would have rated at 3.5-4 stars with the key knock being audio. Then the white spots and the lack of response from Mitsubishi. I will continue to watch a much smaller TV until such time that I'm able to get my Mitsubishi repaired or I'm able to save and buy a new and bigger replacement. At this point, based on non-response from Mitsubishi, the TV replacement cannot be a Mitsubishi. I go along with other sentiments regarding a clear defect that is broad reaching. Step up and send your customers the right message by issuing a recall the works for both parties. You will need to wake up if you think the consumer is going to come back after being ignored. It simply will not happen.

I have a 60" DLP with a failed DMD chip. There are white and black spots all over the screen. It seems this same chip (from TI) is being replaced by Samsung at no cost. Mitsubishi only replaces the chip if people scream loud enough but that shouldn't be necessary. This same chip is guaranteed for three years in their projectors. Why only one year in their TVs?

We purchased a 65-inch Mitsubishi DLP WD65833 from Toton's TV in 2008. Within 3 months, my first bulb went out. They explained this was very uncommon. Since then, I am on my sixth bulb in three years with no help from Toton's or Mitsubishi. I'm stuck this, the most I ever paid for any TV. Now. I too have a white dot on my screen. I will never buy anything from anyone who sells Mitsubishi products and would hope this government would take action against selling people ** like this.

Mitsubishi 57in Model WD-57733: I got this TV back in Sept. 2007. On Nov. 23, 2011, I noticed the TV was really dark and not so bright. I have 5-year warranty that includes one bulb replacement. The repair shop picked it up on Dec. 8, 2012 and only took them 2 days to get it back. The TV looked great for about a week on Dec. 19, 2012. Just out of the blue a white and black spot appeared on the center right hand corner. I am about to go back to the store and file another service request. I spoke to the repair shop and the lady told me this is a common problem with these TVs. The optical engine, which is tiny little mirrors, goes out. I have had zero issues with this TV for over 4 years. It goes into the shop for repairs on a lamp and now in less than 10 days there’s another problem. Let see what the store reps say. My service contract better cover this.

I bought my Mitsubishi 65" DLP TV in Nov. 2010 and within 6 months we started having white dots on the screen. They sent a technician out and he had to replace the entire "brains" in the back. When I asked the tech, he said its about $1500. We only paid $750 for it new from Dell! Now I see they have sent me some extended warranty information. 3 years for something like $450, not sure what I should do. I sure wish I hadn't bought this TV! I wonder when this problem will happen again, heck we had only had it for 6 months!

I own a Mitsubishi DLP TV 57" that developed white dots like everyone else on this page. If you are reading these posting as you research your purchase of a TV, please look at another MFG. Do not buy anything Mitsubishi. As you read you will note a high dissatisfaction rate. You spend a lot of money for a TV set. You expect to have it more than 3 years, problem free, and a company that will back its product.

I have Mitsubishi DLP 73" TV, purchased in November 2007, which started developing white dots two weeks ago. They are growing exponentially, and covering the entire screen. I called Mitsubishi and was put on hold for a few minutes, and rep told me that an adviser would call me to discuss the problem.

suit.

As with many others on this posting, I purchased a 57" WD-57733 1080p DLP HDTV. I purchased this unit on 12/12/07 and it was delivered on 12/14/07. I purchased the unit from Mathis Brothers Furniture in Tulsa, OK along with a 3 year extended warranty. The literature that came with the extended service warranty states "Coverage under this plan is effective immediately upon the expiration of the shortest portion of the manufacturer's original written parts and labor warranty." Within the owner’s guide, it states that both the embedded software and the lens have a one year period of warranty from the original purchase date.

Like everyone else on this page, I am having the problems with white and black specs showing up on the screen. I have model # 57733 HD/DLP Mitsubishi TV that was bought in 04/07. The original one that I purchased had overheating problems. The store I bought it from tried to fix it and finally gave this current model as a replacement. I am on my 3rd light bulb and get any satisfaction from Mitsubishi. Please include me in any litigation if action is taken.

Model: Mitsubishi 1080P 52-inch. There’s a growing "infestation" of white spots after spending hundreds of dollars on replacing a bulb. The TV is not even 3 years old!

I bought a Mitsubishi 57" DLP TV in 2007 from Circuit City. My complaint really isn't with them, they helped me out with replacing the bulb with and without the warranty. I have replaced three bulbs and now I have those infamous white spots and they are going to keep coming according to everyone who has purchased these types of TVs. I can see from all the chatter that Mitsubishi is a company that does not stand behind their products. I read where Samsung is no better.

I purchased a Mitsubishi DLP TV about 3 years ago. Two weeks after, I replaced the bulb, the screen began to fill with with spots. About 2 per day, I now have about 38 and counting. I have to put my fairly new big screen TV out on the curb.

The picture has been beautiful so far. I have replaced the DLP bulb once since the December 2007 purchase. I understand the new technology, so the bulb purchase wasn't too painful. Now, within the last week, small dots have begun to appear along the bottom of the screen and along with the research and disappointment, this is an unacceptable repair cost for a technology flaw.

I also have white spots that increase with each passing day. My model is WD73735. From what I see in the growing complaints about this particular problem, I think a class action suit would be the only way to make Mitsubishi to fix their inferior televisions.

It all began with two white dots in the center of my screen. Right then I felt like this could potentially spread. As the days past, it had exponentially gotten worse. I am so upset by this. I can't afford big screen pieces of trash.

We have started having the same problem with "dead" pixels. We bought the TV at Costco in Sept 2007, model WD-C657. The problem started in November with one pixel, and is now up to four. I sent a complaint to Mitsubishi, and they said to get an estimate to repair, then call their 'out of warranty' department. The repairman is coming later this week. This is the first problem with the TV. It even has the original lamp. But, with a new DLP chip costing $300, or an entire Light Engine around $1,000, I am not too happy, specially when we had a Mitsubishi 45" rear-projection TV for over 12 years, with no problems.

White spots have taken over this very pricey TV; first, the bulb. Okay, I could deal with this, we watch TV, but these spots? And after researching this problem over the net, I’ve found a whole lot of people with the same issue. Help please. This must be a defect or a design flaw and they don't care to handle it. I’m stuck with this junk TV and I will not only boycott their products, but I will join the masses and start a nation wide boycott of all their products and services if they don't step up to the plate and resolve our issues as consumers.

We purchased a 65 in Mitsubishi TV model #WD-Y657 4 yr ago on Christmas day. We have already replaced the bulb and like everybody else now we are getting the white spots. I called Mitsubishi over 3 weeks ago and they said I could have a repairman come to the house and diagnose the problem (white dots? ). I am not paying for repairman. Then they (advisor for Mitsubishi) told me they could send out a repairman (they would pay for it) and diagnose the problem and then they could only, probably pay for half of the repair bill. I have not heard or seen anything about a repairman coming to my house. Today, 12/5/11, I again called Mitsubishi about my 65 in TV. They told me that a repairman wants between $7-$9 per mile to come to my house in Highlandville MO. (are you kidding me?) I told them I'm not paying a dime on this; they put me on hold for 5 min., came back and told me an advisor will call be back on my issue in 2 business days!

I purchased the set brand new from Merit TV. I was told that I would never need another TV because it was one of the best. Well, the set stopped working. There was no picture. The sound is good with these new TVs. Is it better to get a new one or have this one repaired? It's a 55-inch HD ready set. Please inform.

I have a 65" HD/DLP TV. Like most everyone else I had to replace a bulb early on at my own expense. That was almost 3 1/2 years ago. Since then, I've had pretty good luck with it. But, occasionally I'll get a message across the bottom of the screen that says it's "too hot and the TV will shut off in 1 minute" or something to that effect. It has actually shut off on occasion and I have to let it set for a short period of time before turning it back on.

I purchased a Mitsubishi WD-65734 65" TV through Shop NBC in February 2008 and in March 2011, I started seeing a few small white dots on my TV. Then eventually, the whole TV was covered with white and dark dots. To my surprise, when I researched what could have been the problem, I noticed an overwhelming response of consumers who purchased this product had the same exact complaints. Mitsubishi, knew of their defected DMD engine light before selling this product to the buyers. They have not stood behind their product and are ripping customers off. I would like to be included in the class action suit when the decision becomes available. Thank you.

I bought 65" Mitsubishi 1080 HD TV at Circuit City in 2008. I also purchased the warranty. I have since replaced two bulbs and only one of which was under the warranty. Now, I have the infamous white dots appearing all over my screen. I have all my paperwork from when I bought the TV and I am going to take pictures. I want in on the lawsuit if it ever comes into play. I spent almost $2,000.00 and mine was a floor model so it was discounted. I haven't got my money's worth yet on this TV. I will never buy a Mitsubishi anything from now on.

My son and I both bought Mitsubishi TVs. We’ve both replaced the bulbs. Now we both have screens littered with white dots. It’s sad when so many people can be ripped off.

We purchased a 65" Mitsubishi TV (model WD-Y657) 3 years ago. After owning the TV for 8 months, we had to replace the lamp. Now our TV has white dots on it. It started with one, now there are three. I have called Mitsubishi but they just ignored the issue and referred me to service centers. I just want to know if I need a new TV or not. I think I bought junk! I will never purchase a Mitsubishi again! We spent way too much money for this to be bad already. We only watch about 2 hours of TV a day! Anyone know what’s going on with it? Thanks for your help.

White and black dots on screen, getting worse, if there is a class action suit, please include me.

I purchased 60-inch dlp about two years ago. Year one, the bulb went out. Six months later, I got a white dot on the screen. Now I have 70 white dots and in no time will have 1000. They need to recall these pieces of junk. It’s absolutely miserable to watch now. I am now going to buy a new TV and it will not be a Mitsubishi. From now on I will be purchasing extended warranties, which is something I hate and very expensive. Recall!

We have a four-year-old Mitsubishi 65" 1080P DLP HDTV. We have owned Mitsubishi TVs for over 20 years and never had a problem until recently. We have started to notice white dots appearing in the middle of the television. Of course, we bought the extended warranty and it expired 4 months ago. I called several times to consumer affairs and was told that they would neither pay for anyone to come look at the TV and give a diagnosis nor would they pay for the repairs which will be around $1000.

My husband and I purchased a 73-inch 1080p television in 2007. We started getting white dots all over the TV. I was hoping this TV was affected by a recall but apparently not! This is so frustrating. We spent over $4000! Obviously, Mitsubishi is not going to do anything about it. It saddens me to see all these comments and our hard earned money wasted. They don't stand behind their products! I will never ever buy a Mitsubishi anything again! I hope this problem will be resolved soon! Good luck to all of us.

I am extremely disappointed with Mitsubishi's customer service. Our television has a defective part (DMD chip) from the factory. This is a well known problem amongst these models. An authorized technician confirmed the malfunction. My wife called numerous times to rectify the situation. She is still waiting for a call from our "case adviser". They refused to pay for the part and labor. Do not buy Mitsubishi TVs. They won't stand behind their products, even when they know this is a factory issue. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere! $2,000.00 wasted.

Also purchased a 65" DLP Mitsubishi WD C657 TV from Costco in 1/2008. First bulb blew within 8 months of purchase and I tried to return at that point; however I was told it was still under warranty and just needed a bulb replacement. This was done at no cost to me. Since then, I have replaced bulb 2 additional times and the one I have now is ready to blow at $150 a pop. In the last couple of months, I noticed the white and black spots and now they are beginning to multiply on the screen as well.

There were little white and black dots.

Three years ago, my ex-husband and I bought a Mitsubishi 1080P 56 inches TV. I got the TV in the divorce and now I'm regretting it. I have replaced the bulb three times in three years and now I am noticing white dots all over the screen. I am a single mom with no job currently. I cannot afford to just go out and buy a new TV! Why won't Mitsubishi stand behind their products and do something about their issue?

I purchased one of these Mitsubishi projection TV's that I just found out are junk. I as well am having trouble with black and white dots, but after calling the tech line, they told me that they had never had this complaint before and pushed me off to a repair man list. I just read all these posts, and I find myself furious. I am in on that lawsuit. I purchased my TV at Coconis Furniture, and of course, it only had a one year warranty. I had a few dots at first, but now the whole screen is covered with dots. I have only had the TV for 2 years. That is too much money for two years of use, and not even two good years of use.

I purchased a Mitsubishi DLP TV 57" 3 years ago. I have replaced the lamp twice, and now I'm getting the white dots rapidly. Judging all the comments, there's a lot of disappointed folks, such as myself! Does anybody have a resolution?

Like everyone else, after we bought a 65" WD65733 we had to replace the lamp. We started having white and black spots within 2 months, after replacing the lamp (bought lamp through Amazon for $62.50). I do feel lucky that it took three years for the first lamp to go out, after seeing all the others that had problems right away after purchase. We love our TV and wish Mitsubishi would fix their problems with the TV, but it doesn't look like they will. We will not replace it with Mitsubishi.

I had a Mitsubishi Unitem 164 installed in my home on May 21, 2011. Two weeks after installation, it started shutting off with a loud pop. It sounded like a relay. I have since had six service calls and they have replaced every electronic component. It still has the same problem. On Wed. 11/23, they replaced the LCD module and now I have no TV at all. It goes black every three minutes and is like that for approx. one minute all day. Mitsubishi has just given me the runaround because it seems no one can make a decision about what to do. It's very frustrating to call them and get passed around from idiot to idiot.

I have had a 65 Mitsubishi TV for about four years now and I have had to replace the bulb twice now. And as of recent, I am getting little white dots all over the screen. I googled the problem and saw the cost of repairing yet another problem and am very displeased with this product all in all for how much I paid for it and I will never buy another Mitsubishi product again as a result of the poor product for high price.

I purchased 73" HD TV 3 years ago. I replaced the bulb after one year. After 2.5 years, white dots started to appear. Now the screen is covered with them. Mitsubishi has been completely useless in correcting the situation. It has taken 2 months of phone calls nearly every business day to escalate this issue to get any one of authority to speak with. Finally, after more than 20 calls, I made an agreement to repair the TV with Precision TV - authorized Mitsubishi Repair. I am almost another month in and still no repair. I was made to pay the labor for the repair (in advance) and Mitsubishi generously offered to pay the part. Now, I have been informed by them that the part is on back order indefinitely, probably because this is such a wide-spread defect.

I bought a Mitsubishi 60" WD60C9 DLP HDTV on 9-7-2009. In 2010, I had to replace a lamp assemble at my cost of $175. On 9-19-2011, white dots started appearing on the picture screen. Later, black dots appeared as well. Now there is over 500 dots. I contacted to where I bought the TV and they will not do anything about it.

We purchased a 57-inch Mitsubishi TV three and a half years ago. We had to replace the bulb about three or four months ago and white dots started appearing about two weeks ago. This is ridiculous. Mitsubishi wants me to take it, get a diagnosis and fax the information. Then, they will see what they can do. That's just a bunch of **. If there is a class action suit, count me in!

I'm a little sick over this. We bought a 65 in. Mitsubishi rear projection TV, model WD-57733 just a little over two years ago. We have been quite happy with this TV. We did have to replace the bulb one year ago but understand that that comes with the "territory." We are a big TV watchers at all. I would say our TV is on well high average.

Mitsubishi WD-73736, 73-inch was purchased on July 2008. White dots have begun to appear on the screen since November 2011. My cost in July 2008 was $2578.88 from Electronics Expo on ****.

I bought a Mitsubishi WD-60737 in 2009. I thought it was a great deal. Within two months, I noticed a white dot, then another and another not long after my bulb went out. So I replaced it. It was good for a couple of months, then the bulb went out again. I replaced that one but two weeks later, that bulb went out. No response from customer service, I got a runaround. Mitsubishi is the worst. If there is a class action lawsuit, count me in.

I have a WD60737 from March 2009. Last month, it started developing white and black spots and a hazy mark around the periphery of the screen. I was wondering what this is, and it seems to be a big time defect on all these TVs that they sold at that time. The DMD chip is a problem where the mirrors seem to be stuck at an on or an off position, and the haze is caused by something in the engine. Their authorized repair tech come in, charged me $86.13 to see the set and gave a quote. I am working with the customer service at this moment, but I am not going to pay a single cent to get this fixed!

It started out with 2 white dots on our screen which was no big deal. However, now it has almost 50 and seems to be multiplying. After reading the reviews on the Mitsubishi DLP High Definition TVs, I am wondering if I got a bad deal! I called consumer affairs and they told me to have a tech come out and diagnose the problem and fax it to them, and they would see what they could do. If this is a known problem and it obviously is, then why don't Mitsubishi just have a recall on these TVs and fix the problem?

I currently own a 3 year old a Mitsubishi 73-inch, 1080P, purchased in January 2008. Six months ago, a small black dot appeared, and now the screen is working on it's fourth spot. After reading these complaints, I am afraid of what I have to look forward to (If I had known this was going to happen, I never would've made the investment of $3,700.00). I was going to call Mitsubishi, but why bother, only to get the response (run around) everyone on this web site has received. I see I am just another victim. I highly agree that no one should purchase anything from Mitsubishi. Please contact me if a class action suit materializes.

My WD-73734 2007 model developed white spots. I guess I finally joined the rest of the junk TV crowd. The light engine replacement will cost 1000 bucks. Mine will be hung on a tree beside the road with. Don't buy Mitsubishi in big white letters on the screen.

I purchased wd65833 in 2008. I love my 65-inch but TV after replacing bulb, about 6 months later, I started getting the the dead cells . I'm so pissed after paying so much for their top of the line Diamond Sires TV and hearing of other consumer same problem and Mitsubishi's don't give a ** attitude. Count me in on that class suit action.

I bought my 65" Mitsubishi DLP back in 2007 and replaced the bulb about a year ago. My first white dot showed up on the screen in August of 2011. As of today, there are 100 plus and still more showing up each week. I have read the complaints online and the struggles with the poorly run Japanese company. I'm just going to sit back and wait on the lawsuit. There is no doubt that I will have to purchase another TV soon. And I will put the Mitsubishsi DLP piece of junk in storage to collect on the lawsuit later (it will happen)!

My now 3-year-old 55" Mitsubishi DLP television began developing 'white dot syndrome' about three months ago. Repair quotes to repair the TV amount to just under $750 with no guarantee that the new part will hold up for at least 3 more years. That cost is almost half of the original cost of the television. I considered myself a loyal Mitsubishi customer, having big screen TVs bearing their label for over 15 years. My contact with Mitsubishi has convinced me that they are not an honorable company and that they will not even admit that there is a defect.

I have the same problem with white spots. I bought the TV at Costco in 2007. It is a WD C657. The problem started in early November and has gotten progressively worse.

I bought a WD73734 about 3 1/2 years ago. I already replaced a bulb about a year ago. Now, the white dots started appearing. I dread it taking over my TV. I haven't called in yet and I'm not too hopeful after reading all the reports. There should definitely be a class action! Terrible, just terrible.

I purchased a Mitsubishi 65-inch DLP on December 2008. About two months ago, a small black dot appeared and now my whole screen is covered. I called Mitsubishi who states that we need to get a diagnosis before anything can be considered. Don't purchase anything from Mitsubishi.

I bought a Mitsubishi 65-inch DLP TV December of last year. It had a lot of white dots. I was told by Mitsubishi to call a repairman.

I have a 65" DLP from Mitsubishi. I purchased this TV in 2007. I have replaced the lamp 3 times and now I have white dots on my screen. I paid $1599 for the TV on Black Friday of that year. I hope that Mitsubishi decides to keep some of their customers and take care of these problems for their customers.

I have a 60" Mitsubishi DLP TV for approximately 2.5 years when the white dots began to appear. It took a short time before the entire screen is filled with both white and black dots. The warranty has expired and they will not cover any parts or labor, which is exceeding $1,000. I cannot afford another TV and it should not be my responsibility when this is clearly a malfunction of Mitsubishi manufacturing.

My 65-inch Mitsubishi WD-65733 DLP TV starts showing white dots on the screen. A new dot appears every few days and is getting progressively worst. I called and check up about it and found it its a manufacture fault. Google it! If you have warranty, extend it.

I know I am not the only person that Mitsubishi has provided a defective product too. I spent over $2,700 for my television (73" DLP) a little over four (4) years ago. I purchased the television on 12/8/2007 for one white spot to appear on 4/2011 to nearly a thousand white spots to appear today. I've tried to negotiate with their customer service department but they will only paid for the initial service call and for the part (which probably cost them $5). They are refusing to pay for the installation of the part and expect me to pay $195.00.

A textbook white/black dot syndrome is showing on my Mitsubishi WD57733. It is 3 years old and should have lasted longer. I’m trying to get a relief from Mitsubishi but not hopeful. Count me in if there's ever a class action suit.

I purchased my TV in 2009 and have already had to replace the projector lamp twice, and now I started having white dots all over my TV and got an estimate to repair the Optical Engine. This is going to cost me 900.00. I really liked the picture quality but to fix this is ridiculous. All the money I have spent is more than what the TV is worth in value. Why is this company still in business? I want to sue them for the cost of my TV.

I also purchased a Mitsubishi WD-C657 from Costco on 10/26/2007, for $1,799.99 + tax. I changed out the lamp 11/2010. In the beginning of September of this year, we got our first white dot. We were going out of state for a couple of months, and didn't have time before we left, to deal with it. Our daughter updated us, before returning home that, we had about 50-100 white dots at the end of October. I have just contacted Mitsubishi, have a case # and have sent in the proof of purchase, diagnostic, and estimate. Just waiting on resolution now. Definitely should have a class action suit for this issue.

Very poor, it has been the worst TV ever. I have replaced the bulb several times and now it has white spots all over the screen and is getting unwatchable. Why won't these guys fix this problem? If they don't offer to fix my TV, I will never buy any of their TV or other products.

I purchased a Mitsubishi WD65737 in November 2009. I am now in the process of ordering my second replacement lamp. For the amount of purchase, the product should not require replacement parts every year. It cost us money to for replace parts of the product, and we are unable to use the product while waiting for the parts.

I bought my TV about 3 years ago. Out of nowhere some permanent white dots appeared. These dots are always white regardless of what the picture is showing. Over time they have multiplied and now there are probably about a thousand of these small white dots on the screen; rendering the TV unwatchable.

I purchased a WD 57734 in 2007 and it worked properly for approximately 9 months. Then the screen would just cut out, go black and wouldn't power on for 30 minutes to an hour. I called Mitsubishi and got the run around. I replaced the bulb once already. TV is still powering off at will. Whenever the class action lawsuit commences, count me in.

My 57" TV is 4 yrs. old yesterday. So far, I have replaced the bulb, and now, I have the white dot disease! These repairs will cost more than I paid to buy the set new! I will never spend another cent on any Mitsubishi product.

My LCD went out after 2 years. I've been waiting for the parts to come in for 4 weeks. I have to pay for the service amounting to around $250. Now, I have no TV.
