Mitsubishi recently jettisoned its LCD HDTV business in order to focus on its rear-projection sets and it has just disclosed the pricing for its new 2011 DLP units, which includes an incredibly massive 92-inch TV. There are three Mitsubishi series released this year that are based on DLP rear-projection, which allows for bigger screen sizes for less money than equivalently sized flat panels and all have 3D capabilities built-in…………
Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America Inc., the leader in large-screen television is going big in 2011, unveiling its new 2011 television product line-up led by a massive 92-inch 3D DLP Home Cinema TV. With advancements to its complete product line, Mitsubishi’s new “Go Big” strategy aims to make its large-screen TVs the de facto standard for immersive 3D home entertainment. New models include cinema-like DLP TVs ranging from 73- to 92-inches, along with Mitsubishi’s 75-inch LaserVue, the world’s only laser-powered TV. “Consumers are demanding outrageously large screens with the high speed response and picture quality to transform 3D TV watching into a bigger-than-life, fully immersive experience,” says Max Wasinger, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America. “We’re responding with a new strategic focus that clearly differentiates Mitsubishi from the commoditized TV market.” “Bigger is better, especially as 3D captures the imagination and passion of consumers who want more from their TV viewing,” Wasinger added. “They want TV entertainment on an order of magnitude larger than what they’ve experienced up to now.”
For instance, Mitsubishi‘s new 92-inch 3D DLP Home Cinema TV offers four times the viewing area of a 46-inch LCD TV and DLP technology is remarkably fast, providing for a more realistic, immersive 3D viewing experience. “Consumers are realizing that to fully enjoy 3D with eye-popping clarity and depth of field, you need size and speed,” adds Wasinger. Mitsubishi’s large-screen 3D DLP Home Cinema TVs employ the same core technology used in the vast majority of 3D theaters, offering unparalleled 3D picture quality. Mitsubishi’s new Diamond 840 Series, which includes its flagship 92-inch 3D DLP Home Cinema TV, comes with a range of new enhancements and upgrades. These include a new Clear Contrast Screen that mitigates ambient light through a specially-formulated screen material to deliver deep blacks, bright whites and a wide range of colors in between. Equally impressive is the Diamond 840 Series‘ integrated Immersive Sound Technology (IST) 16-speaker Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound system that delivers perfectly balanced home theater audio, without the need for separate components. Paired with a wireless sub-woofer from Polk Audio, consumers can enjoy a truly unique audio system-it’s like 3D for the ears.
The Diamond 840 Series and LaserVue models offer an exciting connected TV feature, Mitsubishi’s iPhone, iPod touch and iPad remote control application, which will be available for free in the iTunes store. The remote app gives consumers wireless control of Mitsubishi TVs with a touch screen interface, allowing them to change basic TV menus, switch TV sources, control multiple TVs in the home, adjust audio and video settings, and more. Mitsubishi leverages connected TV, with wireless Internet capability featured in its 740 and 840 series, and wireless Internet built-in to the LaserVue televisions. Mitsubishi’s StreamTV™ feature, available on 740 and 840 series and LaserVue televisions, provides instant access to an extensive library of high-quality online entertainment and social media content. Choose from over 100 different streaming applications, including Vudu movies, Pandora, Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, Twitter, Associated Press, The New York Times and more. Also new this year is the latest energy efficient 75-inch LaserVue model that delivers gorgeous picture quality in a range of colors unmatched by any display technology, including LED. The new Clear Contrast Screen delivers blacker blacks and brighter whites along with improved overall contrast in more brightly lit environments. LaserVue, with Mitsubishi’s proprietary laser light engine, combines this incredibly pure light source for precise colors with DLP technology for razor sharp 3D and high-definition viewing.
