Mitsubishi's $6,999 65-inch LaserVue HDTV now hitting retailers

Oct 28th 2008 1:16PM on Engadget HD

They might have to price these TVs this high to pay for the repair bills if they are anything like their DLP technology TVs. I owned a Mits DLP and got rid of it after it was blowing out the light bulbs prematurely. Who knows how many hours the lasers will last and how much to replace? I would never recommend anyone buying a laser TV until at least the 3rd generation when the problems have hopefully been fixed. Just keep in mind, new technology means a new set of problems.

DISH Network calls first to 100% MPEG-4

I had dish for almost the last 2 years here on the west coast. I had the VIP611 and VIP211 receivers for my 2 HD TVs. I canceled my dish account about a month ago and switched to Verizon. I have to say that Verizon's PQ blows away dish's PQ for standard def. I wouldn't watch the fox soccer channel on dish due to the quality being so terrible. With verizon, PQ is pretty good for SD. My biggest complaint with verizon is that they still have bugs in their system. I wouldn't go back to dish though, even with the problems in verizon's system.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
