Hey I love the picture quality also, but a projection television is just way over priced for what it is. This ought not be $7000, it should be $4699 and on sale for $3200.
Sorry, Mitsubishi is losing the boat if they want profits and to sell volume. this just shouldn't have to compete with flat panel tv's. which the sharp 65" lcd is still way under this pricing. funny!
Give them a chance! They've just brought a completely new and (apparently) amazing technology to market. Let them have a few months of selling to stupid rich people so they can recoup their R&D costs. When someone else brings out a serious competitor, I'm sure the prices will nosedive.
If the technology were to be adapted to front projection (projecting onto a screen hanging on the wall) I wonder if a lens assy is needed. I'm guessing the laser aspect is that it has the ability to switch On/Off per pixel as it sweeps in a convention CRT-like trace. Many questions, here, but like others my RPTV days are over--especially at $7K for something under 90".
