Seeing on a show the latest Hitachi and Sony Backprojecting TVs i find that the picture was really good and that you unlike earlier versions could have good picture without have the room in complete darkness. Reading a HT mag they suggest the new Sony 61´ the best availably backp. TV. It is sold for 3000£ in UK. Any comments on that TV and any other recommendations? Im new to this. Should I wait for flat LCD TV to come down in price?
Follow Ups:
I've seen the Mitsubishis lined up with Sonys and Pioneers, and the Mitsubishi was simply more lifelike relatively speaking, and cost about 4k for a widescreen high definition large rear projection. Sorry, I forgot the model, but Mitsubishi, when I replace my current Loewe (if ever) will be on my shortlist! Flat panels are nice, but I wonder about long term reliability?
From what i've read, the flat panel tv's are not expected to have anywhere near the lifespan of a standard tube or RPTV.I would also agree with the observations about the Mitsubishi's. While i have not seen the "latest and greatest", i did quite a bit of comparisons appr. 11 months ago when i bought mine. The Mitsu won hands down. The Toshiba "TheaterView" was the 2nd best, but was darker and did not have nearly as good of a reputation. Quite honestly, the fact that Mitsu was doing "10 months same as cash" financing at that specific time was also quite attractive.
Something that i have noticed AFTER getting the Mitsu home and using it quite a bit is how much better the picture is when viewing from an angle compared to other RPTV's. Most RPTV's look horrible when viewing from a distance and off to the side. I can literally sit in a chair 20' away from the screen looking over my shoulder and WAY off to one side and make out what is happening on the screen with great resolution. I have NEVER seen any RPTV that came even remotely close to doing anything like that. My Father has an older 50" Sony that won't do anything like that and my Sister has a 61" ( i think ) Pioneer that looks like hell, even when viewing from straight on. I know it won't do anything good from an angle. Then again, they've had a lot of problems with this unit, so it might just be a lemon.
Bottom line, give the Mitsu a shot. Don't forget that most TV's in the showroom are NOT calibrated for optimum performance. Factory defaults are typically not going to give you the best performance possible. Sean

I have a Gold series Mitsu 60" and it's great. They have problems with having too much red in their pictures. Still the sets from Mitsu are hard to beat.No matter what you decide, you should go get a dvd called "AVIA GUIDE TO HOMETHEATER" It'll teach you how set your HT equipment and improve your picture on whatever set you decide.
