Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV

I have owned the Mitsubishi LaserVue since May 24, 2009. I could not be more satisfied with this TV. Blu-Rays look flawless with natural fluid motion, even with fast paced action scenes. The brightness of the image far surpasses the LCD and LED-LCD competition. Dark scene detail is the best that I have seen. My previous set was an early Samsung DLP. Reviewers have commented on the narrow viewing angle of DLP-type televisions. The viewing angle on the LaserVue is far broader than any DLP television, especially laterally. Even vertically, the viewing angle is better than my old Samsung DLP. My LaserVue sits on a BDI Deploy Max 9640-1, Extra wide Open TV Stand - Gloss Black stand, about 19 inches high. Wii games are playable twelve feet away without problems in viewing. The placement in my family room is on the long wall ( 24 feet ) and an...Read more

I am returning this television. It is a difficult thing to do. I waited about four years for this television, and in a matter of minutes I knew the dream was over. I have owned Mitsubishi televisions for 20 years. My last television was a WD65000, a top of the line first generation DLP; it was a great television until it stopped working after about nine years. The picture on the LaserVue television is superior to my previous DLP. The LaserVue is brighter, sharper, and more vivid. The thing I like the best about the LaserVue is that it has virtually no reflection. So why am I returning it? Two significant problems with this telvision. First, the glow from the lamp on a dark screen is very problematic. Most of the time it's ok, but on movies with letterbox format and dark screens the glow is just too much. The second problem is even worse in my opinion. The fan on my LaserVue is just too loud. The pitch and volume of the fan are noticeable at most times unless the television volume is...Read more

Ignore the "haters" reviews if you want the true skinny on this incredible, must-see-it-to-believe-it television. After copious research, my husband and I were 99% sure this was the TV we wanted...but there was one problem. There wasn't a store in our entire state that had one on the floor for us to see in person. With a purchase this expensive, that poses a giant obstacle. Do we buy it sight-unseen? Yikes! (We live in Michigan, and when I called Mitsubishi's general service line, I was told there was a store that had one on the floor...in Tennessee.)

Ultimately, we did buy it sight-unseen...directly from Amazon. (I would be cautious about buying it from any of the shadier internet appliance dealers, though - even among Amazon's own 'marketplace' sellers.) The set arrived very quickly, but we did have a problem: thin vertical lines running across 90% of the screen. I called the special number for Laservue owners and spoke directly with a real, live human being in...Read more
