Has anyone seen anything about the physical width size of the units (not just the depth and diagonal screen size)? The reason that I ask is because I only have a 65″ wide space available.

The current Mitsubishi 65″ TVs are 58.2″ wide and the 73″ TVs are 65.2″ wide, so ‘d guess the same size LTVs would have about the same widths.

The aspect ratio of these sets is 9:16.
a 65″ diag reqires a 56″ wide screen. Add a 2″ frame and it will be at most 60″ wide
