Both my neighbors have newer Mitsubishi big screens.
One is postioned badly so when the sun is out the screen is completely washed out.
The other has has his placed on a angle so the viewing area is about 20 feet across. If you don't get there early and get a seat on the sofa facing it, forget it. Late arrivals usually end up sitting on the floor in front of it.Lastly I find the picture very soft, nothing like my Pansonic 36" HDTV or the plasmas I've seen.

I know what you mean, but any display will get washed out to some degree in sunlight. As for very soft, you ought to see the way the RPTV's (esp. for some reason the Pioneer Elite series) are usually set up at dealers...will burn your eyeballs out. I would bet the soft display is probably set up that way. Actually, most people have them set up too brightly. You have to train yourself to what is proper (proper calibration I mean), it is not what you're used to, and certainly not like a computer screen. It is nice to be able to calibrate the units at least, you can do a not too bad setup yourself though. Assume that at least 99% of displays are not set up correctly, especially at dealers. If they were, gotta admit, people would not be impressed until they had a further appreciation of what they were seeing.
