"Great Projection TV, Horrible Pricing"
Pros: Great Colors, Wide angle viewing, good brightness, Good Picture, about 10-11 inches deep, which for a projection set it is good.
Cons: Horrible Pricing, Mitsubishi believes they can price a projection set against flat panel sets!!!
Summary: When looking at this set, i really was impressed, for a projection set it had great color, brightness and viewing angle, nice slim trim around the set picture area did have a couple annoying things, most notably the bright Blue led lighting below the screen.
Annoying Blue lighting below tv screen, Picture is soft when compared to old Misubishi color contrast, more like a sony, but not so bad
For all the hype before the release, without soliciting any consumer or industry feedback for actual production units or pricing info ahead of time, Mitsubishi is fumbling a potentially great product.
My honest thoughts after spending some time with this set, "Why oh why did Sony kill off their SXRD based XBR projection sets?"
But, the controls looks kinda cheap, on a expensive set you would expect the buttons to be a bit more subtle, instead the engineers look like they just put them wherever they felt like it, also someone at Mitsubishi is drinking too much Saki when they put in large blue Led lights below the set. I have no clue why they thought a TV needed extra lights on it to try and make it cool like an alienware Computer.
My biggest issue is price, at $7000 USD list price, you can get alot of other tvs, all of which are flat panel LCD or plasma, probably with better picture. Isn't the idea for projection sets to be less expensive?
Anyway, it looks like the sets will be in short supply for the meantime, so i guess this is why Mitsubishi believes they can overprice them. My take on this tv. looks great, but definitely way over priced.
For me the sweet spot on this set is $3999 list price. and sale price a lil under that. it's obvious that Mitsubishi does not care about selling too many of these sets as they are completely misjudging the market. Especially when we are in an economic downturn.
So, my take on this set is mitsubishi needs to do revision with a better design.

It is funny that people love to give reviews and opinions over products which they do not even own. I walked through a store and saw the tv now I am an expert. Hilarious! Plus I love the blue line bit. If he had any clue about tech and how tv signals translate he would know that the tv was translating the poor signal. If it was a dvd then their is not an excuse. It should be pulled off the shelves for being a lemon and my apologies. Please people price is important but this is not consumer reports this is review of the quality of the product. Price will change in a few months. Just watch.

I think Mitsubishi has done a great job developing this new laser tv technology. I believe you will see the laserview bring new developments to the tv industry, especialy in the 3d aspects. Thier price will come down in a few years naturally due to competition. I think that if you are too poor right now that you should just wait a couple years for the price to come down.But if you actually have the money I say get one! They are the best new development out there.Those who can afford it should buy one. It will be a wise investment in your home entertainment center for years to come.You can also check out more important details about the laservue here:
