Hiram,The WS-55807 is not without its flaws. First off, the red gun is about 3dB higher than it should be -- this is called "red push". You can buy the parts to correct this flaw. You're blocked out of the service menu completely, so you aren't able to do all of the adjustments you might need to do calibrations.
That being said, when you get the red push attenuator in, and use AVIA and Video Essentials to tune the picture, it's capable of a superb picture.
There's another discussion forum that has the best information on the Mitsubishi sets around, called the Home Theater Spot. A link to that site is below. They have both a Mitsubishi discussion forum, and a tweaks forum to get the most out of the sets.

I agree with kotches. This TV can be good or bad. If you are looking to simply have the TV removed from the box, plugged in and then watch...you are likely in for a disappointment. Out-of-the-box performance from my 55807 was pretty bad. The tweaks that you will read about at The Spot are a must in order to get the most out of the Mits. If you are not inclined to make those changes, I would advise that you look at another brand. Sad but true.
Thanks for the info. I've been poking around the SPot and I'm sure it will be useful. First, I think I'l wait 'til the new models come out. Not so much because I think they will make major improvements but because summer's coming and there is too much outside work to be done. I'll save the new TV 'til next fall when I can expect to devote more time to it. In the mean time, I have time to decide whether I want to even get into something that may be a nuisance. It is difficult for me to decide if the critics here are too critical or not. Reminds of the old BMW and the enthusiasts always wanting more?Thnks for your info...
BTW..I found Titantv.com... they list everthing that's on.Regards
Hiram
