Great product, just take care of it

There is a design flaw- thermal sensor will fail on earlier made units. They extended the warranty to three years for this and it's a very easy/quick fix.
Picture- phenomenal cannot be beat. Give yourself enough distance- don't buy too big for your room or the silk screen effect on the whites will be more noticeable.
Appearance- cool looking, sleek, sometimes the piano black glossy bezel has reflections. Screen is very good about anti-glare.
Bulbs- yes they are expensive, but easy to replace. Take the bulb housing out occasionally and clean out the screens. The dust will prevent the airflow to the bulb causing premature failure. .
So basically, TAKE CARE OF IT and you'll be OK. It's a high-tech piece of equipment, not an indestructible CRT.
Horrible Customer Service

My lamp recently went out and I am outside of the warranty by 6 days. I called customer service and have been transferred around so many times I can't count. So finally I asked to talk to a supervisor, and they said no. Finally after 10 tries, they are going to have a supervisor call me back, but who knows when. After all this, I'm not sure I would ever buy from Mitsubishi again.
Bad lamp

7 months after buying the TV the lamp went out. Fortunately it was covered by warranty. It has now been 3 months since having the bulb replaced and it went out again! We bought a Mitsubishi because we wanted a good quality TV and we PAID for it! I guess we should have gone to Wal-Mart!
Pay attention to this TV

Yeah my bulb burnt out. I got it replaced for free though since we only had it 6 months. This was brought on by dust clogging the back. Instructions should specify that intake vent is on the back on the side. This won't be a problem now that I know about it. Otherwise, the picture quality is the best I've seen w/ the 180 watt bulb.
