Pinging the HDTV list.. HDTV pings!

What contrast ratio?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good, that means LCDs will drop in price.

They can rename their POS DLP whatever they want but it’s still a POS.

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!

These guys are totally nuts. Call me when the price gets to $3500, and I'll get interested again. Guess my old Mitsubishi big-screen CRT set (now 15 years old) will see me through another few years.

Great - Now I’m going to have to add a room to the house.......

Here is the Mitsubishi Spokesman introducing the new Laser TV.

I *absolutely* love my Mitsu DLP. Really!

[GreenAccord]

I bet you and I have the same 35” Mitsu. Mine is still going strong 13 years later, and by strong, I mean it still has the dis-colorization in the upper left corner when reds dominate the screen.

I don’t have room for a 65” tele of any sort. Few do. Who hasn’t been in a room DOMINATED by a big screen TV (yeah, I’m talking to you, father-in-law)?

But I suppose if the picture is noticeably better then 1080p LCDs (how could it be, I wonder?), I’d be interested - at the lower price-point.

[Las Vegas Dave]

What contrast ratio?

BIG! (Actually, I have difficulty finding that info-sorry.)

[ken21]

senor!

my backup lithium camera battery was missing.

i located it after 2 washings in the washing machine.

i dried it out and re-charged it and it’s working.

for how long i know not.

"New technology. It’ll drop to where you want it in the next three years or so."

Not new enough (or different enough) to justify THAT kind of price. Screw'em!

[Ken H]

Are there any plans to make a smaller model?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I have a DLP (Samsung) and it’s fantastic. Are you against Mitsubishi’s DLP, or DLP in general?

[mbraynard]

DLPs in general.

I don't like how the height of your eyes affects the picture.

[SlapHappyPappy]

I want one!
