A new source of light . . . LaserVue

A new day is dawning for rear-projection DLP HDTVs. While previous DLPs used cold cathode fluorescent lamps and LED lights as their light source, Mitsubishi's 65" L65A90 boldly introduces a new source of light: the laser. By harnessing the power of the world's purest light source, the L65A90 is able to deliver two times the color offered by most of today's other HDTVs. Laser light provides an extensive range of rich, complex colors, truly distinct clarity, and an immersive depth of field for an unprecedented viewing experience. Further, the L65A90's LaserVue technology offers dramatically reduced power requirements in comparison to other HDTV technologies, using one-third the power of LCD and one-fourth the energy of plasma! Finally, at the same time that the L65A90 brings the future into the present with LaserVue technology, this full HD 1080p DLP is 3D ready, preparing you for the next leap in home theater viewing.

The need for speed

Okay, tell us if this sounds familiar. It's Monday night, and you and all your buddies are gathered around your old flat panel HDTV watching the football game, when the running back breaks away full-tilt down the field toward the end zone. Someone in your living room shouts: "Wow, look at that! That guy's running so fast his legs are a blur!" "Yeah, that's incredible", you reply. With your old flat panel, you just couldn't bring yourself to admit that the blurring of the running back's legs was the result of your HDTV's slow panel response time and not due to the athlete's prowess. Light-hold devices like DLP, LCD, and plasma HDTVs all have some degree of motion blurring in fast-moving images or videos. Some just have way less blur . . . presenting the L64A90 laser DLP from Mitsubishi. Designed with Smooth 120Hz™ technology, this rear-projection HDTV displays more fluid and natural fast-moving images using a super-fast 120Hz panel-response time (also known as frame-rate conversion). Now you and your friends will be catching all of the action, whether you're cheering your favorite sports teams on in the big game or watching your favorite action flicks. Additionally, an UltraThin Frame™ design minimizes the size of the bezel so that your L65A90 becomes a window onto the world of HD.

Fact: you just can't have too much color

If you thought Technicolor was out of this world, you might want to sit down for this. The L65S90 is capable of displaying . . . billions of colors. What's more, special features designed into the L65A90 give you the control to customize these colors for optimal, lifelike video reproduction. Okay, now, what's this business about billions of colors? Well, the tag team of x.v.Color and Deep Color allows the L65A90's screen to display such a large number of colors by expanding the supported color gamut (the work of x.v.Color) and by broadening the color spectrum used to represent the graphical image data being sent to your screen (thank you, Deep Color). Further, Deep Color allows for smooth transitions between color shades, thus eliminating color banding and other visual artifacts for a sharper, more lifelike image. Additionally, a 6-color processor enhances the L65A90's color capacity by producing brighter colors, a wider range of colors, and whiter whites. Finally, giving you the control to customize the image you see, the L65A90 offers PerfectColor™. A full color matrix, this technology lets you adjust the intensity of six separate colors independently of each other and separately for each of the TV's inputs. You get the color you want for all your video sources.

Less "noise" means better video

The L65A90's exclusive 4D Video Noise Reduction uses advanced algorithms to better identify video noise from fine detail and correct the signal rather than distort it. Video noise is caused by distortions in the video signal that make the picture look grainy or snowy. As signal resolutions improve with the introduction of DVD, digital cable/ satellite and HDTV, the loss of sharpness produced by most noise reduction circuits becomes more noticeable. Mitsubishi's advanced 4D Video Noise Reduction corrects the image in four dimensions: horizontally, vertically, within each frame, and across multiple frames to provide an image that is crystal clear and extraordinarily detailed.

An HDTV for all occasions

Because you don't plan on using your new high definition L65A90 to enjoy just one type of video, and because you might find yourself watching it at various times of day, Mitsubishi has designed this DLP with 4 video modes, letting you customize the TV's performance. Choose between Gaming Mode and Natural Mode when switching between graphical video game images and live-action movies and television programs. If you're sitting down to a matinee, use Brilliant and Bright modes to optimize panel performance in situations with high ambient light.

Now that's a digital photo

Thanks to a front USB port, you can connect a USB thumb drive or USB Card Reader to the L65A90 and use the 65" screen as a giant photo album.

HDMI: advanced connectivity

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Mitsubishi's L65A90 features four HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Your HD lifeline

High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passes along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater?s high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components. It?s only natural that you might have questions regarding how best to outfit your personal HD system. Vann?s sales representatives are here to explain all of your options.
