I think this is the place to get questions answered thats what forums are for.

No problem leaving this forum and the bunch of arrogant people who cant even answer questions, if thats all you want to do is discuss how great your tv's are and not get into any discussion about different ones you're all made for each other good luck.

Is there a removable cover shield to protect the screen?

Anyway--this 831 "screen" --If it makes it look more like plasma does that mean it will look like a plasma in the daytime in a brightish room ? I dont know about you guys but to me plasma is unwatchable in the day due to screen glare. Is the new 831 series screen supposed to be glare free ?

As for the 831's (both the 57 & 65) they will be in store by end of the 2nd week of Sept. no word on pricing yet. He has seen and gotten the full demonstration from the Mits reps and he has told me the he's buying one (57831) because the high contrast screen is so good that it's comparable and even rivals plasma. He stated that combined with the 180 watt bulb it actually improves viewing angles. I'm having mine reserved tomorrow.

I hate LCD so i decided on a 1080p RP display to get the full PC capabilities. The no brainer was the A2000. However, i've been able to see some A2000's in the stores and although they look incredible on the hawaii loop it loses a lot of pop when you go down in resolution. It's still on my radar and if i decide not to get the A2000 it will only be the 831 series with the new screen.
This screen is not glass, so the glare should be no where near a plasma. In reality, my setup is fine for plasma, that had nothing to do with my decision.
If you read "parasite's" posts he states that the high contrast screen virtually eliminates the SSE but also reflects the glare. So, what really intrigues me is the possibilty of getting a 1080p set with DVI, an SXRD like Iris, no IR or burn in so i can remain a news junkie. and (hopefully) a screen that eliminates the SSE, which to me eliminates the "projected" look and becomes more of a 3D plasma look with no SSE and SDE. Basically, if the screen does what Parasite says it does the fat lady has sung. DLP was never a consideration until the new Mitsu's came along.

I went by my local Mit Authorized Dealer and he's saying the 831 won't be available until late Oct/Early Nov but the 732 should be out in SEP.

With what everyone has said I have to wait for the 831.

I'm a panny plasma owner as well and am spoiled by the excellent PQ and black levels.

Keep us all informed.
