Mitsubishi drops LCD HDTVs to focus on 73-inch and above sized displays (Engadget)Good idea. I just hope they start pushing the LaserVue TVs a lot and get the price down. If they can approach 90" with a LaserVue TV, I may get over my front projector lust. A TV is always easier.

Wouldn't that thing be energy hungry though?

Their LaserVue TVs are very energy efficient.

It's kinda sad to see a former giant in the industry down scale like this, but someone had to see the untapped market of affordable giant sized TVs.

Giant rear projection is a great way to go. You don't need complete light control in your room, but you can still go really big.
There are a few issues though. Their big TV's don't have very good off angle viewing and seem to have a pretty narrow sweet spot, Black levels haven't been very good, and the screen uniformity isn't very good. But, overall, a 90" TV would be a great alternative to a front projector for a lot of folks.

Makes it kinda difficult to mount the speakers behind the screen, though, for people like me that will have limited room in the HT.

I'm glad someone is sticking with DLP still as well. 73" for $1600 isn't bad, but when you get to the 90+ inch size why spend 5-6k when you can just get a front projector. Unless you have no options for light control in your room, I wouldn't want anything other than FP this big.

Giant RPTV's still have a small nitch I think. Some people just wouldn't want to mess around with setting up front projection.

Yeah, I know I want to go front projection, but I'm still waiting on the right one. It would be nice to see one based on the LaserVue tech. I still don't look forward to all of the associated effort and costs of going with front projection.
