Mitsubishi LaserVue L65A90

Description: The Mitsubishi Laservue L65A90 is a 65-inch, rear-projection TV. Compared to other rear-projection TVs on the market, it is very expensive at around $7,000.

Pros: Has a 65-inch screen size, which is considerably larger than some similarly priced TVs. With HDTV compatibility, this product can display images that are sharper and more realistic than analog television when mated to a high definition signal.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Built for those who want as large a screen as possible. Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: Overall, this TV's price seems hard to justify, with respect to its features. For example, when it comes to viewable screen size, the average price of rear-projection TVs with comparable viewable size is quite a bit less -- right around $2,660.
