Mitsubishi prices LaserVue TV, better take out a second mortgage

My hopes of owning such a righteous HDTV have been severely dashed. Mitsubishi has priced their 65-inch LaserVue HDTV that will begin shipping to Diamond stores at the end of this month and you may want to sell your car or take out a second mortgage. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the 65-inch set will cost a smidgen under $7,000, which is on par with other 60+-inch HDTVs, but there’s no word on the 73-inch set, yet.

Unfortunately, no sale in Europe.
This is a shame!
Since 2 years, we are awaiting it, and then tells us Mitsubishi NO IN EUROPE!

Funny….when this technology was comming out they touted how it will blow the doors off of LCD and Plasma, not just from the picutre perspective, but also the pocketbook perspective. I remember reading of the initial price points with these in line of what DLP tv sets cost at 65″ (or 2,000.00 give or take a couple hundred.) Technology is very similar but more advanced modifications. Unlike the very expensive gases for Plasma Tv’s or expensive screen cost for LCD. This is a mistake in my part on mitsubishi’s part. There are going to be many skeptics on buying these due to it being a new TV technology. Dropping prices real low would be the ultimate in grabbing peoples attention in buying these in bulk. 90% of americans will not spend 6K+ on a TV. Good work mitsubishi…you could have cornered the market potentially with this new technology, now, you will only sell these in small quantities.

Enough already…..How long does Mitsubishi expect to drag this out. It’s now end of 3rd quarter and no 65’s to be had and no definitive date for the 73 or pricing. Something that is suppose to be state of the art is only a state of mind as no product is in the pipeline. If this keeps up Plasma will be less expensive by the time Laservue hits the market. Maybe Christmas is now the target date or with such a predicted high price and a poor economy we may never see the the 73 Laservue. I’m in the market and about to go to another brand as the 73 is more elusive than sasquatch….
Mitsubishi…the hype is over… Deliver the product now or just admit you can’t……

Has anyone any idea if the new 3D technology in the laservue sets require glasses or not, or any info about this built in capapability. I would like to purchase any necessary equipment to have ready for the long awaited arrival of the sets appearing in the stores.

I’m happy with the colors I get so far. The laservue isn’t making the picture quality any clearer. That’s the area that really needs improving in existing hdtv’s (the scaling of standard definition broadcasts), the blurriness of fast scenes on lcd tv’s, etc. An extra $5K for 200% better colors is not worth it. Sorry Mitsubishi .. I won’t be buying. Knock the price down to $2000-$2500 and then I’ll buy.

On the 3 D, yes you will need glasses.
On the demo I saw at CES, colors were vivid but as usual at these domos, too much saturated, no side by side LCD or plasma to compare. Viewing angle impoved over the normal DLP but not as good as Plasma or LCS. At 7K very pricy, I bought a 60 inch vizio at Costco for 2K. Wait a year or with some competiton, the price will drop to under 3K.
