    Mitsubishi’s LaserVue HDTV makes triumphant 75-inch return, becomes 3D-ready

    Posted on June 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Ah, the LaserVue. Launched way back in the heyday that was 2008, Mitsubishi's 65-inch monster didn't exactly fly off shelves being priced at seven large, but we still maintain that it's the best looking consumer-level set we've ever laid eyes on. 'Course, the fat-backed design didn't exactly do it any favors in a world dominated by flatscreens, but we've always been willing to bend a little on the design for beautiful execution in the image quality department. To that end, we're downright elated to hear that the forgotten line has been revived for 2010, with an all new 75-inch model (L75-A91) being introduced for those who just can't find a television big enough to fill their 8,000 square foot den. The behemoth measures in at 41.7- x 66.4- x 15-inches (so yeah, it's still got some junk in the trunk), and as you'd expect, it's fully 3D ready. Mistu's 3D Starter Pack is being sold alongside of it, containing a 3D emitter, 3D Adapter with remote, an HDMI cable and a Blu-ray Disc with a collection of clips to really show off your new purchase. Other specs include web connectivity (StreamTV can hit up VUDU, Pandora, Flickr, Picasa and more), four HDMI-CEC inputs, a wired IR output, 1080p native resolution and a price tag of "only" $5,999, not including the $399 3D Starter Pack and $99 3D Adapter. Oh, and be sure to call a buddy or four when it arrives -- you know, considering that you can't lift a 154 pound television on your own.

  • How to force your DirecTV receiver to output 3D

    How to force your DirecTV receiver to output 3D

    HDMI Detective Plus
    The entire point of frame compatible 3D is the ability to send a 3D signal via 2D equipment so that only the source and the display itself needs to be 3D aware. Now for a reason that we can't comprehend, DirecTV decided to try to make things simple and in the process completely disabled 3D for every customers except those who bought a select number of 3DTVs and have already upgraded their AV receiver to a 3D aware model. There is a solution though. You see DirecTV's receivers are simply checking for specific EDID information via HDMI, so a simple device like Gefen's HDMI Detective can trick the satellite receiver. All you have to do is connect the Detective to one of the officially supported 3DTVs (might require a trip to the TV store) and record the EDID information. Then you connect it inline to your DirecTV receiver and you can enjoy yourself some 3D -- or just watch the side by side image. This trick will probably also work for Samsung owners who want to use Mitsubishi's checkerboard converter and might even force your old HDMI equipped AV receiver to pass 3D -- Blu-ray's 1080p24 per eye signal actually requires less throughput than 1080p60 so it should work. It is an expensive test at $129, but at the very least it'll eliminate, or speed up, any HDMI handshake issues as well; so it might come in handy regardless.

    Ask Engadget HD: Which HDTV for a Father’s Day gift?

    Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
    It's that time of year, and sometimes a card and "Thanks for being there, Dad" just isn't going to cut it. It's high time the old man had an HDTV upgrade, and we're going to make sure Amir gives him a worthy one:
    "Hey Engadget HD It's almost Father's Day and some of the best TVs are on sale. I need an HDTV that works great in just about the brightest room, so I know it needs to be an LCD, right? It needs to be as big as possible because it's replacing a 75 inch Mitsubishi projection HDTV that we can't see during the day, and around a max of $2000. I keep going back to Sony because I trust their products. Any suggestions?"
    You've got the requirements, works well even in a brightly lit room, he's looking for plenty of size for his dollars, and a budget of roughly $2k. Is a Sony LCD really the best option or would you go in another direction? Let us know what you would do if you were in Amir's shoes, or what you'd get for your Dad.

    Got a burning question that you'd love to toss out for Engadget HD (or its readers) to take a look at? Tired of Google's blank stares when you ask for real-world experiences? Hit us up at ask at engadgethd dawt com and keep an eye on this space -- your inquiry could be next.

  • Mysterious StreamTV fails to arrive on schedule

    Mysterious StreamTV fails to arrive on schedule

    Posted on May 7, 2010 | No Comments
    A month ago the intriguing StreamTV family first showed up on Amazon promising 500GB HDD, "Super Blu-ray Player" and vaguely worded 3D capabilities. We have now reached their announced release date of May 7 and... nothing. The news of Mitsubishi's 2010 HDTVs with Stream TV (Vudu Apps by another name) seemed like a possible indication of whatwas to come, but since the we've heard nothing and honestly don't expect to. Anyone out there keeping $5,999 on deck just in case?

  • HDI concocts 100-inch laser-based 3D HDTV, calls rivaling technology child’s play

    HDI concocts 100-inch laser-based 3D HDTV, calls rivaling technology child’s play

    Posted on September 17, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , ,


    Look, we've seen an awful lot of HDTVs in our day -- one lap around the average CEDIA show floor makes your local Best Buy look awfully small -- and to this day we've yet to put our peepers on a more stunning set than Mitsubishi's LaserVue HDTV. Sure, it's fat, ugly and expensive, but the image is otherworldly. Before Mitsu can even take the logical next step, a California startup has arisen to introduce what it calls the world's first laser-based 3D HDTV. We're talking 1080p 3D like you've never seen before, with CTO Edmund Sandberg noting that this production is smoother than RealD, Dolby, film and pretty much every other 3D solution. The secret here is in the speed; this set is so fast that the image "no longer needs to flash from one eye to the other," and no flashing should equate to no headaches. Too bad there's no planned release date, but we're still cautiously optimistic for a sneak peek (in addition to the video past the break) at CES 2010.
