All but two entry-level models offer active-shutter 3D glasses capability. 3D
glasses do not ship with any of the TVs, but are available for purchase at the
Mitsubishi website.
Mitsubishi's new flagship 3D DLP Home Cinema rear-projection set ships in June
featuring a 92-inch screen size, FullHD 3D capability and StreamTV Internet
connectivity at a $5,999 suggested retail."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 VP, 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

incorporates Mitsubishi's Cinema Color in HD and 3D and consumes less than 85
watts of power, which is below the 2012 Energy Star 5.3 requirement of 108 watts
for the screen size class. A 3D emitter with DLP link and VESA jack are

to more than 100 streaming apps from Mitsubishi and its partners.
These include instant access to online entertainment including Vudu HDX and 3D
movie and TV content streaming and social media and other services, including
Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and The New York Times.
The top-of-the-line 842 series models also add a new built-in Bluetooth RF
transmitter to link with active-shutter 3D glasses, called FullHD 3D glasses.
The new and improved system is said to provide a seamless 3D experience while
increasing the number of models and brands of active-shutter 3D glasses that can
be used with the TV.
Mitsubishi explained that while the company does not currently sell Bluetooth
glasses, the TV is compatible with RF FullHD 3D glasses, which includes all
Samsung SSG-3xxx and Panasonic TYER3D4MU Bluetooth glasses.
"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, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America marketing VP.
Mitsubishi's Diamond 842 series also features the company's signature built-in
16-speaker immersive sound technology (IST).
