Out with the old, in with the new?

Mitsubishi has announced that it is getting out of the RPTV business, meaning that there will be no more DLP televisions on the market very soon. I replaced my old 65-inch (2000 model year) Mits RPTV with a 73-inch Mits DLP set last year. It was 3D capable with a firmware update, and it looks great.

Meanwhile, Sony is trying to drum up interest with its first 4K software releases for its 84-inch, $25,000 4K TV. They will loan you a player with such 4K demo material as Bad Teacher, The Other Guys, and That’s My Boy. I am not making this up (sure, there are other titles, I would just hope for my $25K that it would be exclusively A-list titles.)
