Mitsubishi is even worse, according to the tech.
I've got nothing but good things to say about Mitsubishi TVs. I have a 65" that I bought new in 2004, it hasn't had a problem, and the picture is still very bright and crisp. When, (if is more realistic), I finish my basement I plan on replacing it with a newer 73" Mitsubishi. My only complaint is that I bought it about a month before the 1080p version came out. Mine only does 1080i.
