Mitsubishi Laser TV - what we know so far

Topic:

Somehow Laser TV crossed my mind this morning and I decided to hit the web to see if there are new details or publications by Mitsubishi since their announcement of the first Laser TV at the CES 2008 in January.

The last press information from Mitsubishi about the Laser TV got published along with new images of the 65" Laser TV prototype in Japan in Mid-February. The announcement is just a repeat of what has been announced at the CES 2008. It looks like Japan is not the first release target for the Mitsubishi Laser TV, the U.S. home theaters will have the honor of adopting a Laser TV first this fall. Mitsubishi also manufactures HDTVs in the North America. Read more

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution & More at LA Auto Show

Topic:

Mitsubishi had a booth full of cool cars at the LA Auto Show. From the new Lancer Evolution to Mitsubishi race cars old and new there was much to be seen in the Mitsubishi booth. The star of the Mitsubishi show was definitely the new Lancer Evolution. The car has some traits in common with the old body style Evo, especially from the side.

I don’t care for the front end of the new Evo; it’s not particularly attractive to me. Looks aside, the car has the performance pedigree to make up for a lackluster design. The turbo charged 4-cylinder engine puts out 291 HP and the power meets the pavement via super-all wheel control dynamic handling system. Mitsubishi is tight lipped on the performance numbers for the car, but they should be decent. Read more

Mitsubishi WD-57831 HDTV Review

Topic:

Despite CES going on our review partners at Digital Trends still found time to publish a review of the Mitsubishi WD-57831 57 inch HDTV.

Quote from the review:
"Mitsubishi’s WD-57831 is a 57W widescreen 16:9 HDTV, designed to produce exceptional images from all (both standard and high definition) video sources. The WD-57831 is certainly a crowd pleaser! If ever a TV was designed for watching high definition programming (standard definition images aren’t too shabby either), enjoying Home Theater, viewing movies, or watching stills from your digital camera, this is the one! Happily, it’s not just the size of the screen that impresses, but the images displayed on it.
The set includes dual antenna RF inputs, two rear A/V/S-Video inputs, three HD-level component video inputs, two HDMI w/HDCP inputs, two IEEE 1394, one A/V/S-Video, one component video, and RF outputs. Convenience features include twin-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) and TV Guide On Screen (that worked flawlessly with my local cable system, Cablevision). "
