Q. Basically the situation im in is this, im looking to upgrade but im curious if its a "must" to have the 740 or 840 model over the 738. How much different are the screens in terms of how they look, or are the screens comparable and the newer models simply have more bells and whistles?
Anyone that owns a 2010 model have a chance to compare it with the 2011 models?
Thanks in advance.

A. I will tell you - I am not a fan of Mitsubishi brand these days.
When DLP came out - Mitsubishi was charging $9999 for their first model.
When HDTV came out - Mitsubishi televisions refused to accept 720 signals.
When the HDTV spec was still being debated, Mitsubishi came out with the 'Promise' program where they said they would upgrade any Mitsubishi TV to keep it current with changes to the antenna or signaling standard. Then they weezled out of fixing technical problems with their first-gen televisions because they claimed it was not covered under 'the promise' program.
So - look at the 70 inch Sharp Aqous LCD televisions - a better company in my opinion.

Does it matter if a small LCD TV is not HD ready?
Q. I have seen a nice Sony 15" LCD Tv with Freeview built in. However it says it is not HD ready. Does this matter for the purposes of a 15-incher? We go digital in 2011 in our area. Grateful for any advice.
A. if your tv is not HD ready, then you won't see High Definition pictures. This has nothing to do with the conversion from analog to digital local broadcasts. Yes, typically HD tvs are also capable of receiving local digital channels, but this is totally separate from High Definition technology.
If, however, you are referring to digital signals (DTV), the FCC is requiring local broadcasters to convert from analog to digital by 2/17/2009 (for all "full power" stations).
If you receive local channels over UHF/VHF local antenna, you will need to get an digital to analog converter that goes between you antenna and tv. If you have a cable box or satellite decoder, you don't have to worry, as they will convert the signal at their source for you. Also, if you replace this TV with one capable of receiving digital signals before next year, you will not need the converter.
After this date, if you have the proper TV or converter, you will be able to see the digital signals in normal (not HD) format. HD TVs that are capable of both digital TV and HDTV will receive both signals as sent by your local TV broadcaster. Those not in HD format will be digital but in conventional format.
If you need a converter, you can get a voucher to get one for free. See http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html for more information or see https://www.dtv2009.gov/ to apply for a coupon for a free converter.
PS Our HD/DTV has incredible local channels off our local antenna, better than DirecTV provides off the dish. And I am not about to pay that extra for only a few channels on the dish. You have to reprogram the channels on your TV to remove the analog signals and accept the digital ones, but the picture is so much better, I find myself not watching overpriced satellite tv so much and might even dump it unless they lower their prices.
