Hello,
I have wanted to get a nice RPTV HDTV for quite some time and my wife finaly gave in and I am hoping to get one in approx 2 wks. I looked at alot of Tv's and I really liked the Sony's(I have always been partial to Sony products after my last Sony TV lasted almost 20 yrs) but I also considered the Mitsubishi WS-55413. Does anyone know how these models stack up to one annother? Especialy in terms of picture quality, features and reliability? The Tv will be paired with my RCA RT2600 system until I get the $ to upgrade it. My wife does not like letterboxing in movies, I have gotten her to put up w/ it on our 27" 4:3 but she keeps asking me if the new 16:9 will have it still because she "hates it" I noticed at 2 stores we saw w/ the same Tv's showing the SAME move(Finding Nemo) one had no letterboxing and one had small amount of letterboxing. I have read some on animorphic WS and I am still a bit confused as to weather my movies "enhanced for 16:9 Tv's" will still be LBX'd, isn't that part of the reason to have a 16:9 in the 1st place anyway? I also noticed that on the showroom I sometimes had a hard time seeing the Sony's picture due to glare, I chalked this up to bright lighting on the showroom and strange angle I was viewing it from(Best Buy had it on the 2nd shelf) will I have to have lots of drapes in the room to prevent the sunlight from coming in?
Also we watch quite a bit of DirecTV I'd say 45/35/20 DirecTV/DVD/XBox, will I have to worry about burn in once I correct the saturation etc from watching this much 4:3 material? Is there any way to lessen my chances of this?
Thanks alot for any help, I am really excited about entering the world of HTD and any advice is greatly appriciated.
