I always thought that it was a stupid move on manufacturers' part to abandon DLP rear projection. LCD and Plasma cannot match the price point of these sets. You can buy a 65" Rear Projection DLP Mitsubishi for $1400. I don't think there's anything close to that size in LCD yet.. And if there were it would be well over $5000. Yeah it's heavier and ~10 inches deeper. So what? They produce excellent images.

This is the reason why Mitsubishi will be getting my business when it comes time to replace my living room set. I want a 60" set. I could care less about hanging it on the wall. And I don't want to watch my electric meter spin out of control like it would with a plasma.

OK, I'm done bucking the trend now. :bigsmile:

The mitsubishi sales guys that I know seem to be quite happy with their place in the market these days.

Indeed, I bet they are! I know I would be. Amazon is selling the 73" Mitsubishi for $1500 today. I'd take that over any lcd or plasma at this point in time. :T

Sounds good Andy! You didn't want to do the front projection thing I take it?

I am still thinking that if the feedback of DLP were that good, then why Samsung, Sony , Panny and other big guys stop making it?

They are simply following the trend in purchasing.
