Mitsubishi Electrical Visual Solutions America Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit stemming over allegations that its LaserVue TV contains a malfunctioning defect.
Lead plaintiff Robert Verdie claims that the “Optical Engine” component in Mitsubishi LaserVue televisions contains a defect that causes video and color anomalies. Verde alleges that Mitsubishi is liable for breach of express and implied warranties as well as violations of California consumer protection laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Class Members who purchased a Mitsubishi LaserVue TV that is either malfunctioning or that you spent money on to repair the issue may be entitled to reimbursement under the Mitsubishi class action settlement.
The malfunction covered under the Mitsubishi LaserVue class action lawsuit settlement includes any video anomaly or other issue that interferes with the TV’s normal or intended functioning as described in its original warranty. However, it does not include any cosmetic damages of the TV including the screen and cabinet.
While Mitsubishi disputes all allegations in regards to a defect with its LaserVue TV’s, they have agreed to the settlement to avoid further litigation costs.

I live in Canada and own a 65″ LaserVue, do I have any recourse?

are there any model numbers for the TV’s that are involved.. i had to buy replacement bulbs and now the DLP computer card/chip is going. Have dots all over the screen.
What a waste of money this tv is. Had a service guy come in and said nothing can be done. It’s basically a 75 in piece of junk sitting in my living room now.

Got check today for $250!! Finally
i feel taken advantage of
What about all of the other junk tvs this lousy, crooked company has sold people? This laser vue garbage tv is just one of a litany of raggedy, sub-standard tvs this mitsubishi has sold consumers for years. I paid over $3000.00 for one of their lousy tvs in 2009. The piece of crap did not last two years before that bulb assembly started blowing out. After paying $150.00 for this bulb assembly and another $100.00 to have the thing installed, the damn thing blew out AGAIN less than a month later! This piece of junk tv now sits in my corner, collecting dust. This sorry mitsubishi needs to be sued for ALL of these junk tvs they have been selling people.
I do not qualify
