It's huge.

I had purchased a 56" Panny plasma last year. It has an awesome picture and is a fabulous TV. However, with the sound system I have going down there (classic KEF Reference all the way around plus the legendary Alon isobaric sub, driven by the top Marantz HDMI receiver) I found the picture from the plasma was still a little SMALL for the sound!

This I hadn't anticipated.

56" was the hugest screen I'd ever bought. Well, I blew the plasma out the door when the new Mitsu rear-projection DLP units with 3-D came out, and I'm glad I did.

It was between this and a projector. My brother built a front projector system in his basement, and honestly it's disappointing. You have to have the room totally dark, and even then the picture isn't very bright.

This DLP set, by contrast, is far brighter, and you can watch it during the day or with the lights on. It is HUGE, which really complements the sound system. It's really not right to have top-shelf sound without a theater-worthy screen, and 56" is just on the small end of that, unless your room is tiny.

Once I had the color balance tweaked to the calibration disc's satisfaction, I had great things going on. The Panny had great color out of the box, but the factory settings on the Mitsu DLP units are mushy and a bit off. So if you do buy this set, by all means make sure you do a full calibration with a good calibration dvd/blu-ray disc. The before/after difference is quite striking even if you're not a real "video geek." The discs themselves are amazingly cheap, and if you're spending this much on a TV there's really no excuse not to set it up right. I believe many negative reviewers simply weren't able to get the calibration done so their nice new screen looks right.

Blu-Ray presentation of color-intensive films like 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' are spectacular on this set. Fast-moving sports like Hockey and baseball render lightning-fast, unlike the ever-popular LCD screens that show a black streak on the ice instead of a puck. And of course, you get the most inches per dollar of any HDTV technology out there.

My sister has an older DLP Sony Grand WEGA set, and when the bulb finally popped on that thing, they had to pop for almost 0 to replace it, and then it was a huge rigamarole to get it replaced.

The bulb on this TV is around a hundred twenty bucks which is a steal for this kind of high-output light source. And it is 100% user replaceable. That is what sold me on this TV. Because at that low price for a bulb, I can keep a spare on hand at all times and if the thing blows I can quickly get it up and running again.

I can't stress enough how important this feature is for anyone looking at rear-projection DLP. Your bulb is going to blow. It's a wear item, like brakes on your car. Designing the system so that the user can replace the bulb is so smart, Mitsu should get a medal. Designing the bulb so that it can be sold for around a hundred bucks: awesome.

How does the picture compare with the Panasonic plasma? The plasma is better. Blacks: blacker. Whites: whiter. Action: faster. Viewing angles: WAY wider. But the plasma just ain't big enough for my application, and a plasma the size of this gigantic DLP will cost you your firstborn child. The brightness and video quality penalty is the trade-off for the eye-popping size of this screen. It was totally worth it for me, and the experience with the bigger screen really blows away the higher plasma quality for me.

So you know where I'm at with this TV. If you are looking for the home theater experience, I recommend you stop looking at flatscreens and projectors. You've found the right TV type and the right brand. Mitsu stuck with rear projection DLP and refined it while so many others were switching over to all flatscreen, all the time. Those of us non-millionaires for whom there's no substitute for screen real estate are very happy they did.

Go to your local Mitsubishi DLP dealer and see these big things in action. Choose the model that fits you best, and start shopping that model. 00 for this TV is a gettable deal, and you may be able to get it for that just by offering that price to your local Mitsu guy. You'll pay for delivery, but the charge will be similar to what you pay the Amazon affiliates who sell this TV--and you'll have a local warranty, This is similar to a degree.

Your personal economy you on television, I am sure your shopping list, I better put a $ 3,000 TV that if you are allowed to use.

You'll regret it, regret it.
