Stunning!, June 20, 2009
This review is from: Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV (Electronics)
I have owned the Mitsubishi LaserVue since May 24, 2009. I could not be more satisfied with this TV. Blu-Rays look flawless with natural fluid motion, even with fast paced action scenes. The brightness of the image far surpasses the LCD and LED-LCD competition. Dark scene detail is the best that I have seen. My previous set was an early Samsung DLP. Reviewers have commented on the narrow viewing angle of DLP-type televisions. The viewing angle on the LaserVue is far broader than any DLP television, especially laterally. Even vertically, the viewing angle is better than my old Samsung DLP. My LaserVue sits on a BDI Deploy Max 9640-1, Extra wide Open TV Stand - Gloss Black stand, about 19 inches high. Wii games are playable twelve feet away without problems in viewing. The placement in my family room is on the long wall ( 24 feet ) and an excellent image is viewable from all seating positions. What really separates this TV from the competition, however, is the color rendition. Of the three color settings, "Natural", "Bright", and "Brilliant", I keep the TV mostly on "Natural", and even at this setting, the color is astounding. The "Bright" setting is used only when there is extreme ambient light, such as when there is direct sunlight streaming through the blinds behind the TV. The "Brilliant" setting seems to extrapolate the color into a range broader than originally intended or recorded. The Blu-Ray of the movie WALL-E looks incredible on this setting.
I must make some comments about a very positive experience with Mitsubishi as a company and the customer service that I have received. My first LaserVue did have a defect. The picture would occasionally shift in tone, as if the color temperature had been changed from cool to warm. I contacted my dealer, who in turn contacted Mitsubishi. I received telephone call from both a Mitsubishi customer service representative as well as an engineer from company headquarters in California. My set was replaced within a week and I received follow-up calls ensure that all was ok.
Many people are put off by the price of this television. I purchased the LaserVue and the stand at a very high-end Home theater store in Houston, where far costlier televisions were on display. One evening, near closing time, I was the only customer in the store. Most of the high-end televisions have promotional Blu-Ray DVDs playing to demonstrate the strengths of their products. My salesman allowed me to play these DVDs on the Laservue. It was really no contest. After this exercise, the LaserVue really seemed like a bargain, especially when considering that there should be no degradation of the image in the life of this television.

Could Have Been Great, March 23, 2010
This review is from: Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV (Electronics)
I am returning this television. It is a difficult thing to do. I waited about four years for this television, and in a matter of minutes I knew the dream was over. I have owned Mitsubishi televisions for 20 years. My last television was a WD65000, a top of the line first generation DLP; it was a great television until it stopped working after about nine years. The picture on the LaserVue television is superior to my previous DLP. The LaserVue is brighter, sharper, and more vivid. The thing I like the best about the LaserVue is that it has virtually no reflection. So why am I returning it? Two significant problems with this telvision. First, the glow from the lamp on a dark screen is very problematic. Most of the time it's ok, but on movies with letterbox format and dark screens the glow is just too much. The second problem is even worse in my opinion. The fan on my LaserVue is just too loud. The pitch and volume of the fan are noticeable at most times unless the television volume is way up. I'm not sure all LaserVue televisions are this loud. I had a service repair inspection of the LaserVue, and they claimed the noise was normal. I'm not sure how he came to this opinion since he had never seen a LaserVue television before. I called the special number for LaserVue owners, and they assured me that both of my concerns seemed to be normal characteristics of the television. I went to two stores to look at the LaserVue, and I tried to compare. To determine the noise problem was nearly impossible, since the ambient sound in the store drowned out the fan noise. I put my ear next to the televisions in the store and it seemed quieter than my television, but I can't be sure. The problem with the light was clearly visible on the televisions in the store. I really wanted to keep this LaserVue television, but I can't live with the problems. It seems that very few people have returned these televisions and the reviews are generally good. If you can live with the fan noise and the light, the picture is amazing.

Blown away by this picture!, May 2, 2009
This review is from: Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV (Electronics)
My brother just bought this and I'm very impressed with the pic quality. I want to start by saying I own a Sony XBR4 and an XBR6, and I have the baseline settings for XBR4 at AVS, so I know pic quality.
This is an amazing TV, super vivid colors, deep blacks and smooth motion. The only con is that is not a flat panel and cannot be wall mounted. If wall mounting is not a big deal, and you can afford the high price, then this is by far the best big-screen out there(over 55"), beating the Pio Elite Pro 111FD 60" model for color accuracy.
If size is not a big deal, the Pio Elite 50" pro111FD is probably better because its gettable for under 2k. The Sony XBR4,6 are the best LCD's at any size.
Mitsubishi hits a home run.....now please lower the price, so most can afford.
