Mitsubishi 92'' 3D Home Cinema TV Arrives Soon
Mitsubishi's upcoming 92-inch addition to its 3D Home Cinema line may be arriving soon... for a hefty price.
During CES 2011 back in January, Mitsubishi revealed a new 92-inch addition to its line of 3D Home Cinema HDTVs. Although pricing wasn't revealed at the time, the monster HDTV was slated to arrive with a built-in 3D emitter, the Jade user interface, a 120 Hz sub-frame refresh rate, and Bluetooth streaming audio. The screen size itself indicated that consumers may need to get a second mortgage on the house or work more than two jobs for the unforeseeable future.
And although currently there are no signs that Mitsubishi has made a formal announcement, Tuesday brought news that the company may be gearing up to release the massive 3D HDTV to the market with an unsurprising $6000 pricetag sometime soon. When it arrives, the new 3D Home Cinema addition will generate 3D visuals using Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology, the same tech used in most 3D theaters. It will also provide four HDMI input jacks, a USB media player, and the StreamTV Internet Media service for accessing VuDu, Twitter, Facebook and other online applications.
In addition to those features, the new 92-inch HDTV will come with support for multi-speaker Immersive Sound Technology (IST) for the ultimate sound experience in a 16-speaker array. There will also be a Center Channel Mode with a center channel input, rear channel pre-outputs, a wireless sub-woofer output, ISFccc Advanced Video Adjustments, an Advanced Calibration Mode, a universal remote control and a new Clear Contrast screen.
So far there's no indication of when this monster 3D HDTV will actually go on sale here in the States, so stay tuned.

Problem with a TV that big, is that even 1080p will start to look grainy.
Nevertheless, if I wanted a home drive-in movie theater, that would do it! hah
well if i could sell all my uni text books for full retail price i'd be well on the way to affording this
Why not just get an inflatable screen for the backyard and a really nice 1080p projector for a lot less $ so you could throw some backyard bbq & movie nights & use the left over money to buy a jacuzzi?
Wow 24 ppi? Compare that to a 23'' 1080p monitor, which has 96 ppi, i might not look great at all.
I have the 60" version (The WD-60C10) and it is great. The problem with this monstrosity will be that you will need to build the room around it haha....that is nearly 8' diagonally....(8' is the ceiling height in most houses lol - to put it in perspective)
I'm a little curious as to why it isn't based on their laser technology (which is a sweet spot for Mitsubishi with their line of LaserVue displays).

I currently have a 720p Optoma DLP projector from a few years back projecting onto a 92inch screen and i can tell you the picture still blows my mind with good source material. Resolution is NOT the most important thing when talking about video quality, contrast is more critical. PC use is a different story obviously.
Just as a side note...I didnt think DLP 3d glasses need a transmitter as they automagically lock to the screens refresh rate. I could be wrong when it comes to rear pros tho.
$6000 is not very expensive, considering the first 90+" LCD's came in at over $10k

I think you mean $100k
I won't be able to play football in my front room anymore though.

It won't look grainy. Most current released blu-ray movies look really good on 90+ inch screens. I have a 100" screen myself and I'd never want anything smaller, but I'd rather get a 3D projector which is still thousands more but moving a projector and 120" screen up or down stairs is much easier. The only problem the projectors is you need a room with good light control.
Besides who says 3D won't die. So why invest so much money in 3D. They are still working on glasses free 3D which will make all this obsolete.
$6,000 seems like quite a deal to me actually.
Maybe that's because I almost spent $2,500 on a 60" plasma (which thaankfully I didn't).
It is so obvious in many of these comments.... people say things like they know what they are talking about but they have no clue. This country gets dumber by the day.

proof : read the above comment
I could buy this TV and have it paid off in 3 months but I still wouldn't bother.
1st - $6,000 is just too much for a TV I don't care how big. If I want big, It's called a projector and you can get them for a lot less than $6,000
2nd - I don't have a room that would require such a monster.

Sandy Vagina is serious. Get that checked out, bro.
heck yeah i would get this tv. my living room is almost 900 sq feet and my wall height is about 14 feet with 24 foot vaulted ceilings..
the 62" dlp looks small. I hope the 92 comes with LED lighting like my 62"
$6k is actually not that bad. I still think that the current gen of 3D tech isn't going to last. Personally, my 55" is big enough for my 500sq/f apartment (screen is only about 5 feet from my couch).
$6000 is not very expensive, considering the first 90+" LCD's came in at over $10k
Perhaps they meant $60K. $6K not bad at all for this monster, not considered hefty.
Only $6K for this?? Whoa, that's a pretty great price. Expecting something that size to be $20K+.
I'm quite interested in what regions this will make it to.
This isn't as great of a deal as you guys are saying it is. DLP technology is much cheaper to produce than a LCD or Plasma TV. It is still not a terrible price, but it isn't exactly good either.
If anybody knows where to purchase this can they pls pm me. (its for my business. Not like I can afford to put this in my house or anything)
Please tell me this DOESN'T use a color wheel. I'm so use to the Samsung LED RGB light engine.
doubt that even with two jobs you can pay for it
