Mitsubishi Drops Bulky DLP TVs: End of an Era

An anonymous reader writes "Mitsubishi was the last hold-out in the big-screen rear-projection display business after Samsung left the category in 2009. Now Mitsubishi has dropped the dinosaur. Every big-brand CE manufacturer got their start in the big-TV business via rear projection sets from CRT to DLP to LCoS, eventually replacing them with modern-day flat screens. Mitsubishi did develop LCD flat-screens for a time, but dropped out of that market to focus on rear DLPs after Samsung gave it a monopoly. The author, a CE editor, takes a nostalgic and amusing look at her 15 years with three Mitsu rear pros, the only big-screen TV she's known."

Warmer, brighter pictures

I'll stick with my good old analogue television. I just don't like the brittle, compressed pictures on these new "digital" TVs.

Of course I'm still trying to figure out where to find some of that good, old, warm, analog TV signal to feed it.
