But if you are so darn sure of all of this, and on the red push, Mitsubishi is famous for that flaw over all manufacturer's whether you like it or see it or not, but why are asking our reasoning if you you have already just made up your mind?
The fair cable act you are speaking of, I am familiar with, but have never heard of it carrying anything on what inputs you carry, but more that if you sell cable or dish programming, and a person already has a decoder, then it is anti trust to encode the signal in such a way that requires a person to rent or buy an extra box just to decode your HD signal, when it was not necessary before you encoded it, just to rent and sell boxes. That is what that was all about, as I read it, but maybe it also included that, and nobody spoke about it. I had both sets in my house, and in the Hitachi set, 3 of them, with the 57 I tried, the 65 I got and returned as stated above and the 57 I have now, and none of them had red push problems anything close to the order of the Mitsubishi, but you probably know it can be fixed on all of them when calibrated, so if you do that, it is here nor there, in the longrun. You can't go wrong in HD with either set, and if you don't care about PIP, then it should really come down to analog quality, which despite your not seeing red push on Mitsubishi's, I am confident you will see the analog atrosity that is SD in Mitsubishi, so the question is does that matter to you much? If it weren't for that huge problem, then I would own a Mitsubishi Diamond plus, and I even tried to get scalers and doublers to fix the problem. I really love their HD picture, but watching alot of analog sports, was just a killer with the shrinking, grainy, and chubby Mitsubishi SD picture, that I just couldn't live with.
From your last message, it is quite clear that you hate Hitachi's and while it is for reasons that I don't see, and one of them I am now clear that you can only see on certain brand names, but it really sounds like you are just looking for confirmation, so there you have it with me. If you can live with never watching analog without cringing, then you are the proud owner of a Mitsubishi. I wanted that Plus so badly, I actually spent 3 hours on a Sunday watching sports on it at a store, going back and back between events, and I left in serious doubt whether I could deal with it, and then I got home, turned on my Hitachi, and it looked spectacular in SD like usual, and that was that. We all have our main pet peaves, and I only took an interest in yours because you came down to the same 2 sets, but stated the classic reputation of one, as the primary flaw of the other, so I actually thought you were joking. Lastly, on my 65 inch version of the Hitachi, when an ISF came out to see if he could fix my haze problem, he went thru the front panel, and reset that, and in order to get it right, he actually adjusted the tint, 2 clicks to the left which is enhancing the red level, so maybe that will give you a little perspective on how at least my Hitachi looked, even to an expert.
I still think it comes down to more less what board one visits.
