Mitsubishi USED to be the top television brand. I have one that still works great from years ago.
But they dropped the ball with HDTV.
Their first DLP television was priced at $9,999 - many times more than others.
For many years they made televisions w/o support for 720 - one of the defined HD standards.
They original had something called "The Promise" where you could buy the early generation of HD televisions and Mitsubishi promised to offer an upgrade-module for $300 to make it compatible with changes to the HD spec - but many people got screwed over when they failed to come through.
So … this is why that unit is so cheep. Mitsubishi is not well respected anymore and few stores carry them. Sony, Samsung, Pioneer and even Panasonic are better respected and considered more reliable.
