New models include two DLP Home Cinema TVs at 92-inch class and four models at 82-inch class.

“Consumers crave large screen televisions that deliver the most immersive home entertainment experience available, which has made the large screen TV market the fastest growing TV segment,” said Max Wasinger, Executive Vice President, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America. “There is no question that ‘bigger is better,’ so we’re introducing large screens that give consumers an unmatched viewing experience for movies, sports, gaming, and 3D content. As we maintain our size advantage in the television market, we’ve also built in more value and features for consumers who demand TVs with bigger screens and better sound at prices that meet their budget.”

Mitsubishi DLP Home Cinema TVs are powered by DLP technology, which also powered most of the digital cinemas in theaters all over the world. It offers unparalleled picture quality. DLP Mirrors switch faster than other display technologies for a smoother picture with less blur. The 92-inch class DLP Home Cinema TV offers four times the viewing area of a 46-inch class.

Mitsubishi’s new 842 Series, which includes its flagship 92-inch class DLP Home Cinema TV, conveys the most immersive home theater experience available, combining HD or 3D video and sound delivered through a massive screen and built-in 16-speaker immersive sound technology (IST). “Sound bars and home theater audio are the fastest-growing consumer electronics segment because consumers want to match great video with great audio. By integrating theater-quality sound with cinema-like screens, Mitsubishi raises the bar for home theater viewing,” continued Wasinger. This powerful array includes center channel mode, surround preouts and variable subwoofer outputs that put viewers directly in the action of any sporting event, action movie, or video game. The 842 Series also includes models in 73-inch and 82-inch class screen sizes.

Mitsubishi will also introduce in its 2012 product line a new 75-inch class LaserVue television model, the L75-A96, the latest television in Mitsubishi's laser TV line. The only consumer laser TV on the market, the LaserVue offers stunning Cinema Color in HD and 3D and is powered by Mitsubishi's exclusive laser light engine.

A new built-in Bluetooth RF transmitter, which uses new “Full HD 3D Glasses” ^TM format, provides a seamless and vivid 3D experience and increases the number of models and brands of 3D glasses that can be used with the TV.

“More Americans are enjoying 3D movies at home as more content becomes available and the experience becomes more affordable. Televisions with 3D and 3D eyewear are much more affordable now, and we’re giving consumers who want to add that extra dimension to their home entertainment more options than ever,” said James Chan, Vice President, Marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America.
