I don't think Mitsubishi is the type of company to shoot off their mouth without something to back it up. After all they built the Zero, hand recognition door openers, phones that allow you to see who you are talking to, and who knows what all.
Our pilots in their mustangs blew the hell outta their zeros.
They are probably using the "wobulation" fackery that DLP uses for 1080p, since dlp can't do better than 720p in the real world.
and you'll probably have to wear the damn glasses (either polarized or blue-red)
And if you think this will save dlp I have some land in Florida I'd like to sell ya.
DLP front projectors will probably do fine, but the microprojector form factor is doomed,
maybe Sonys sxrd sets will find a small market among the quality crowd,
but nobody has given me a solid reason as to why anyone should buy a DLP set,
which is mostly mechanical, has the black level problems of LCD and Plasma,
and is bulkier.
3D doesnt sell, most hear "3d " and the first word that pops into their mind is gimmick,
and they arent about to give up their sleek flat panels for a gimmick, even if their wives would let them. Not to mention that after an hour 3d gives you a splitting headach
As for DLP you can get a 55in one at wallfart for 998, a bargain even I
(who loves a big screen) was considering.
But I KNOW THE LIMITATIONS of this type TV, I gave advice to a poster on this forum
about replacing the bulb, he stated the bulb was "shattered"!!!
I tried to explain how dangerous changing a shattered bulb is in these sets (they have mercury) and I hope he took it
