Bought mine new in August of 2000. Its seen somewhat limited use in my basement. Id had problems with the PIP so I stopped using it. Last night, it appears the whole TV died. There was a flash and then nothing. Got it to turn on a few times but the picture would turn strange shades, primarily yellow. Today its totally dead. This is my last Mitsubishi, I guarantee that.

I got this TV few years back on sale for about $2,200 and Love it since then, has very good picture compare to other similar models and good features as level sound and auto adjust picture for room brightness, I guess is one of the best model in 50" out there, remote could have little more bigger buttons but other then that I have no issues with this model, whenever I have movies like Star-wars on DVD, I always watch them on this TV to have a near to real cinema experience at home.

In addition to having an exceptional picture this is an excellent Projection TV in the 4 by 3 aspect ratio. Bear in mind that term: 4 by 3. Dont pass this one up! Instead manufacturers are moving toward the 16 by 9 aspect ratio. For conventional (4 by 3) antenna, cable or satellite TV broadcasts and VHS playback this is the one of a handful of the best Projection sets available. Get them while they are still around, 4 by 3 aspect ratios that is. Many people going with the 16 by 9 sets are not happy because there are very few HD signals out there at least for the next 4 or 5 years the way things look. 4 by 3 is the way to go right now. People are complaining because when viewing a widescreen program on a 4 by 3 set you get black bars on the top and bottom. On 16 by 9 sets you get black bars on the left and right sides of the screen all the time unless you watch a wide screen program! That means that you are going to get black bars on the sides for over 90 percent of what you are going to be watching for the next 5 or 6 years. Apparently, the FCC, the major Broadcasting Networks and Cable companies still cant agree on how they are going to broadcast High Definition Television signals. And that decision does not look like it is gong to be made any time soon! Stay with the 4 by 3 aspect ratio like this Projection set has. You cant go wrong and you will be much happier. Many people are returning their 16 by 9 projection sets according to an area dealer because they cant stand the black bars on the right and left.

I bought the Mitsubishi VS50707 Gold analog Projection TV last week on word of mouth on how good Mitsubishi TVs are.Ouch! Should have went with a Magnavox. Cheaper and better in my opinion. Had one for 7 years and just sold it to get a new TV. The tubes were aging of course - but I thought it had a better picture than my new $2000.00 Mitsubishi! Sure, the overall picture is good. Close-up shots a great! But watching sporting events - one of the main reasons for getting a new TV now - long distance images were terrible! Cant make out Shaqs face! Football season is going to be a drag! Volume control from shows into commericals - look out! Its REALLY loud! Watching analog TV of course youll see those lines. Wasnt as bad with my previous TV. Even with the tinted protection screen. Customer support on the problems - not good. Going to try and sale it and get a Magnavox. Still got time before Football season starts!

I compared this television to a similar priced Sony (which was 53") and chose to go with the slightly smaller 50" Mitsubishi because this gave a sharper and clearer picture. I have had this product for a little while now and I definitely recommend it!
