Official LaserVue Owners thread - Page 3

Why are you ALWAYS so negative and contradictory about everything and anything? Like the others who have posted, I have a pretty good number of CD's that I've purchased since the inception of the format and have yet to have a bad one. And yes, I've been through them all relatively recently when I ripped my entire collection to MP3. It's funny that when you didn't get the answer you were looking for to the question that you asked you try to discredit our answers. I'm not going to claim that CD's don't go bad - it's fairly well documented that it does happen, but it's most definitely not as rampant as you're trying to suggest. Looking forward to your negative response to this...

Guess you should have re-read the original post before replying.


The original post was that it is nearly impossible to predict failure rate in hours with new technology. The CD was simply an example. There are countless others, ESPECIALLY in HDTV, not the least of which are the Mitsubishi Light Engines for their DLPs. The real answer is Mitsubishi can throw out numbers like that all they want, that does not make them correct, again, as witnessed by the Mitsubishi Light Engine Failures.

BTW, could you please show me what I have posted about specs on this TV that have not been eventually borne out, from price, problems with Green and REC 709 with the current firmware etc.

After seeing a good number of Mitsubishi Light Engine failures, I know that just because Mitsubishi says it, doesn't make it true (and that is also true of other companies as well, but none of these are "reference standard sets").

This is the LaserVue Owners' Thread - let's get back on topic. If you'd like, you can start your own thread about new tech failure rates.

Hmmm....much lower than I anticipated/hoped.(contrast)
Are they already working on a second gen unit?

No problem....now if the owners will start posting legitimate information....oh, that's right.....it has been decided by owners not to post the data for the REC 709 mode.

Perhaps if info was being posted, it would be hard to dispute, huh?

You could always go buy one and get the numbers for yourself... Given that this is an owners thread, it's not like you as a non-owner are entitled to the information anyway. If the info isn't being provided how can you possibly dispute it anyway?? And why do you feel compelled to do so???

Personally, I think it's fine if the people who bought these sets are happy with them. In my case, I feel these sets are too pricey for what they seem to offer relative to the competition and I'm very leery of buying a first generation of this sort of product regardless of what the warranty is. There's also the issue of not having local access to see one. But I'm definitely interested in seeing how these sets make out both in the short term and the longer term as they may represent an excellent alternative to large flat panels if 2nd (and further) generations come out with the presumed price drops that 2nd generation products typically have.

SO where are all you guys pics of your setups? Come on I've been wanting to see these units in house. Put them up.

That is one of the many downsides to RPTV tech in generally. You almost always can see the backlight.

Backlight? This thing has lasers not a bulb. LCD displays have backlights which can exhibit "flashlights/clouding".

I'm wondering if its perhaps the same effect seen on other RPTVs which is room ambient light being gathered inside the set and reflected through the projection lens and mirrors.

I would consider this to be a defect and would contact Mitsubishi immediately.

Congrats on your purchase.


I wouldn't necessarily expect the screen to be totally black, but what you show in your pictures definitely doesn't look normal. As lcaillo said, I'd contact the store and/or Mitsubishi about this.

Ah, the anomaly I was thinking of shows up when the set is turned off as well as when it has a black screen.

TrevEB,

The Laservue I've spent some time with has the same issue. However, it was not as severe as illustrated in your pictures. But, even in a fairly illuminated showroom my salesman and I both noticed a very dim light of some kind visable in the middle, lower part of the screen.

Treveb.

If this is a true picture of the screen(no effects from camera image) then this is a defect. Not normal and I'm sure your warranty will cover an exchange or correction.

Not all Theorists are equal. Some of us actually own the TV. And have posted much info about it, including Screen shots and system set up etc.

Where are these at? I only see 2 photos posted.

The photos were posted on that other Laservue thread--long before this thread was started. I have spent many hours with this TV and posted much useful information on the TV. In fact, it was myh intent to start an Owner's thread but BuckCounty Guy beat me to the punch.

1st: blue is the correct color for the remote. red is other models.

2nd: pictures of televisions can be difficult to capture.
Are you saying that basically the bottom half of the screen is illuminated or are you refering to the bright spot about 20" from the left side?

see pics...

i bet they give you a new TV. no way that is normal.

I don't post very often. I do in fact read many posts in many forums. It's refreshing to read your comments re comparisons. I'm sure you're aware of the many "posters" who don't share your consideration and manners. Must be my strict Bostonian upbringing that make more aware of this than others!
Thanks again.

I think I read a similar observation in the Sound & Vision preview (just a few paragraphs on this LaserVue at the newsstand today. I think it was seen with title crawl.

Regards,

Matt

I assume the other owners of this display do not have the same issue. Correct?

Any pics guys? Been dying to see one, but the local stores probably wont be getting one anytime soon.

What you obviously never post. Its your first POST!!)

I see similar internal reflection within my CRT RPTV (Mitsubishi WS-65907). This is only noticeable during credits, and similar situations where the majority of the screen is black, with high contrast images displayed. The reflection in my case, will have a rolling effect when credits scroll on the screen.

I was able to reduce (not eliminate this) by lining all non-reflective areas within my television with duvatyne (sp). Given the nature of the LaserView's construction, and the inherent danger in opening one, I doubt there will be a DIY type solution.

Perhaps future generations will work to reduce internal reflection?

Spence

Actually, the correct spelling is Duvetyne.

Is the center of the tv at eye level? Does it exhibit the same charachteristics if it is?
