Thanks for the feedback. Any other comparable (better?) 55" rear projection TVs y'all would suggest? The 55907 is priced at $4,500. I'd like to pay less, but the platnum model wasn't as clear. g
Follow Ups:
I want to be sure to make the point that even though Mitsubishi is doing a few things different on the 2002 models, I'm still pretty damn happy with mine. The picture is great with a little simple adjustment via AVIA and a redpush attenuator on the 480p component input. It's a lot of picture for a reasonable (compared to other brands) amount of money.Just looks like Mitsubishi is wanting to lessen the service calls from the public messing around in the service menus. Or something.
As far as others...I thought the Toshiba and Pioneer brands to look pretty nice too.
See ya. Dave
George,I think our comments might have been taken somewhat out of context -- you need to be aware what the issues are before you buy.
As for other considerations, well the Panasonic 56" widescreen is one as is the Pioneer Elite 510.
I'm pretty sure the Pioneer Elite is more expensive than the Mitsu.
Regards,
Does the 55907 have the 9" guns?Honestly when I auditioned all the sets at several dealers, ultimately I couldn't see any major improvement in any of the sets over the plain Jane 807's with 7" CRT's, picture wise. At least nothing that would make me want to spend anymore cash. And I'm somewhat anal about this stuff too.
The 807 with a little bit of user control work with an Avia disc, and a red push attenuator on the component input can really make for a super viewing experience. The new 2002 models will be out in a few months, but what I'm seeing about them over at hometheaterspot.com doesn't seem to make waiting worth a whole heck of a lot.
See ya. Dave
Its hard to compare because, first, they have the 907 on a mount so your at eye level, whereas the 807 is on the floor. Thus, when you look at the 807, you're looking down at an angle so the picture is not as bright. Also, the 907 is probably fine-tuned to make it look better. I suspected that GoodGuys want to steer you in the direction of the 907, which worked with my wife who was all, "oh its so much clearer..." The saleman then agrees. The guns are not bigger, but the lens are supposedly better (glass rather than plastic) and, according to the salesman, "30% brighter and clearer." Buying a TV has become like buying a f'n car -- I hate it! g
