Mitsubishi's reply has nothing to do with your situation since you did not
hook up a personal computer to your TV set, you did it the other way around,
connected a PC monitor to your 811 to prove the output from 811 was good.
Nowhere along the way did you connect a PC to the Mitsubishi, so they cannot
blame you for anything.

Typical response from a customer support drone that thought he found a
loophole allowing him to hang up on you. I suggest you call them again and
explain the whole thing better this time, and don't let yourself be
intimidated. If you are positive the problem lies with your display you can
tell them that you tried your 811 at a friend that has the same set and it
worked perfectly, but it does not work on yours.

Good luck anyway!

Damnit John, stop clouding the issue with reason and logic.

So again, what do you suggest? Calling Mitsubishi again? What if they hang
up on him again? Nobody was talking about "belittle-ing" the CSR here, just
making sure they give the issue the due diligence. If the only way one can
get them to do that is by lying to them, I see no problem with that. Again,
it is them that are triggering this behavior.

Anyhow, I ask again. Suppose I am wrong - what's your recommendation then?
