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?

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.

Mribob,

Talk to your local Mitsu dealer. Both of the local retailers here advised against it. Price, reliability, and (in one case) image quality were mentioned - even tho that runs counter to Mitsu's spiel.
