Mitsubishi’s TV division, now called Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America introduced its 2011 line today consisting of four model series of rear projection DLP HDTVs with screen sizes from 73″ to an all new whopping 92″ model. Included in the new series is its 3rd generation LaserVue TV using a new light engine which incorporates  red, blue and green Lasers to produce a brighter  than ever 75″ laser image with only 84.6 watts of power consumption, making it one of the  most energy efficient HDTVs available. The L-75A94 adds a new high contrast screen for improved daytime viewing, wireless Internet connection with VUDU. We list all the main features below.
The 740 series and above series include a built-in IR emitter for 3Dglasses sync, eliminating the need for an external unit.
The 2011 Mitsubishi DLP Home Cinema projectors use new 3D glasses (model 3DG-X103 and the 3DG-EX103), the latter is packed with the IR emitter for the 640 series models. According to Frank DeMartin, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America VP of sales, the new 103 series glasses will work with earlier model year 3D ready Mitsubishi DLP TVs. However, last year’s and prior series glasses will not sync with the 2011 models. The 103 series glasses ship this month and are priced at $119 and $149 each.

Is the 3D still at half-resolution?
–Mitsubishi 3D has never been at half-resolution. Mitsubishi utilizes Active Shutter 3D glasses technology which allows the image to remain in a full 1080p in each eye.
Passive Shutter glasses technology such as those used by LG reduce the resolution in half.
Yes

re: L75-A94
What is “wired IR input”?
IR is most commonly used for remote controls, so I conclude that this is a wired remote control, where the “wire” is optical fiber? No thanks.
Wire is for the IR emitter, used to sync the glasses to the TV

@TV installation. Only idiots worry about apple products.
What are the controls like for the iphone/ipad?
I know that flat panels are the rage, but I’ve seen some projo TVs that are absolutely awesome in picture quality. The laservue TVs seem to be loved by all who have seen them and many say that TV blows away plasma and LCD.
But because of their size many people will simply pass them over. Which is a shame and why all by 1 company have stopped making them.
When are you going to review the Sony top-of-the line 3d LCD TV? Are you planning to do a comparison review of the top tier Sony/Panasonic/Samsung 3D sets? Such a comparison would be most helpful. Tks/Rgs.
