Has anyone purchased a Mitsubishi big screen TV?

I'm considering purchasing a Mitsubishi Platinum or Platinum Plus 55" or 65" rear projection TV(model #WS55809, #WS65809, or #WS65819). What is the picture and sound like compared to competition? Any service problems? Where could I get the best deal? Any others I should seriously consider?

I own an earlier Mitsu bigscreen but would probably buy a Toshiba TheaterWide now. I am completely happy with my Mitsu, but the new Toshiba's ARE better than the current crop of Mitsubishi's. TAS picked the Toshiba's as being a great buy for the money and i agree.

Keep in mind that all of these TV's look like junk if you use the factory default settings. Pick up either Video Essentials or Avia DVD calibration discs. It can make a WORLD of difference in picture quality and enjoyment. Sean

The Mitsubishi television are wonderful! The picture is wonderful, completely HD ready, you can't go wrong.
I bought my TV as a floor model from the GoodGuys here in SF. Part of my negotiating was a 7 year in home warranty, which includes all the calbrating one's heart desires.

WS65809, $2,200 out the door, with the 7 year home warranty!

Tought to beat.
