New Giant Television

I am moving to a new house that has a basement where I intend on setting up my main system. The room is great, about 7' high and the walls about 18' x 23'. I'm all set on the audio setup, not much different from current (with the exeception of lots of room treatments since I will finally have a dedicated room), but with a dedicated room I will have a different video set up.

I want to be able to have ambient light in the room, so I don't want a projector. I don't believe that 3D is the next big thing, don't care about it at all. I don't care if it's plasma, LED, LCD, rear projection, whatever...

I want a giant TV with a great picture, without 3D, I don't care about it's proportions. I've seen Mitsubishi has up to 84" LCD projections screens, the bigger the better.

What suggestions?

Greg, I don't doubt the Panasonic picture is better than the Mitsu, but the pic on the Mitsu is excellent.

As for size difference, I had a Runco 65" rear CRT before the 73" Mitsu and there is a BIG difference in picture size. Don't forget, it isn't just 8" diagonal. You wind up with about 25% more viewing area on a 73".

All things considered -- picture quality, size, price -- I opted for the Mitsu. YMMV.

8 inches is huge in any situation dont be fooled. Even 92in screen to a 100 is huge.

anyone compared picture quality; brightness; and sharpness between the Mitsui 75" laserview vs the 82" or 92" dlp's? The laser view seems attractive as you don't need the bulb changed; and it runs quieter without the fan noise..the laserview's are a bit pricey; around $4800 vs $3000 for the 82", so input on price vs size and quality would be welcome to folks who have seen and compared these different units. I have the 73" dlp and have been pleased with image and quality; and reliability for the two years I have owned it..looking for something a bit bigger; as I have a large room...sit 15' back from set...thanks.
