The demise of the RPTV is really a shame. For most people wanting a BIG screen they really do fit the bill nicely. They are light in weight and the depth is not a problem for most, especially when most flat panels are not ending up on a wall anyway. The past two years has seen very little R&D for RPTV which makes you wonder where they could be now if Sony, JVC, Hitachi. Panasonic, Pioneer etc had stayed the course. Early reviewers say the new Mitsubishi Laser driven RPTV provides the best PQ ever, that's EVER seen.
Agreed - if Mitsubishi can get the laser tech down to where DLP is, price-wise, they'll have a very compelling solution. The idea that everyone needs a wall-mounted TV is absurd.
