Mits first DLP.
One of the first with the dimples on the mirrors. Between that and the
screen door effect it could not meet 3 screen heights like their CRT line.
Did not calibrate well at all.
Bottom line is the CRT line outperformed it at a third of the price but
as usual the marketing department touted it as the latest and greatest,
top of their line.
