Mitsubishi Introduces New DLPs Starting at Under $3,000
Thu May 24, 2012 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Mitsubishi, DLPs (all tags)
The cheapest of the bunch runs $1,599 and gives you 73" of screen.
You're not going to find DLP sets anywhere else, but Mistubishi seems to be pretty okay with that. Having 100% of the market isn't exactly a bad thing.
Their latest additions to their lineup offer absolutely massive screens at entry-level pricing. For 82", a six-color processor and a 120Hz sub-frame field you'll only be shelling out $2,599. Of course, the price starts to go up if you're looking for 3D or Smart TV features.
The 642 series gives you 3D, while the 742 comes with a built in emitter, Wi-Fi capability with an add-on adapter, Vudu, and iOS control. The new 92" version comes in at $4,999.
The 842 series features everything the 742 does but adds a 16-driver speaker array and subwoofer output, has three new additions. You can get the 742 in 73", 72" and 92" starting at $2,199.

Mitsubishi's 2011 Line Includes a 92 Inch 3D DLP
Fri Jun 03, 2011 at 01:30 PM ETTags: Mitsubishi, DLPs, LaserVue, High-Def Retailing (all tags)
The company is staying true to its big screens only approach with a series of extremely large sets.
Mitsubishi's mantra going forward - at least where televisions are concerned - is "the bigger the better." They're focusing exclusively on large sets, like the new $5,999 92 inch Diamond 840 3D DLP. Of course, if 92 inches it too much, you can get an 82 or 73 inch version, but if you're going part of the way, why not go all out?
If you're looking for something a bit more reasonable, the Mitsubishi 740 series offers 3D, over 100 applications including Vudu and is available at 73 inches ($2,099) and 82 inches ($3,499). Going a step down from that is the 640 series, which keeps the 3D but ditches the networking and comes in at $1,599 for 73 inches.
At the top of the line is the latest LaserVue, which boasts Vudu, built-in WiFi and a 75 inch large Clear Contrast screen. You can pick it up this month at $6,999.

Mitsubishi Dropping LCD to Focus on DLP
Wed Mar 23, 2011 at 02:00 PM ETTags: Mitsubishi, LCDs, DLPs (all tags)
LCD sets are a thing of the past for Mitsubishi. Bigger TVs are the future.
It's almost strange to think of an LCD television made by Mitsubishi. The Mitsubishi name is practically synonymous with massive DLPs that take up an entire wall. They're not at home with tiny LCDS.
The company agrees and is completely cutting LCD production from the plans. Instead, they'll be focusing on their bread and butter. "To that end," reads the company's press release, "we will manufacture and sell micro-display projection televisions (MDPTVs) and Laservue televisions in sizes 73 inches and above."
The company will be closing its Ontario and Braselton offices and relocate services to Irvine, CA. They'll also be cutting back production in their Mexicali, Mexico plant, but won't be closing it completely.
