5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, August 1, 2009

This review is from: Mitsubishi LT-46153 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Integrated Sound Projector, Black (Electronics)

I bought this set from a local dealer. I've been looking at the new 240Hz sets along with the more common 120Hz. Mitsubishi seems more or less disinterested in the numbers game, as they aren't emphasizing the refresh rate (120Hz), contrast ratio, or other specs that seem to dominate LCD TV marketing. Although the specs can tell you much about a display, the proof is in the actual viewing experience. That's where this model really impressed me.

Using the 'Natural' display preset actually produces a very natural image in color, contrast and brightness. The color balance is excellent. Color gradients are flawless, with no visible banding. The picture is incredibly sharp - given the right source. This set really shows its quality with Blu-ray video; detail is fantastic and motion is smooth with no visible blurring. This is also true of sports broadcasts in HD.

Mitsubishi emphasizes the integrated surround sound system on their web site. It's a nice feature if you don't have a separate surround sound amp. However, if you hope to get the surround effect, take a look at the diagrams in the online version of the owner's manual. (It's more complete than the printed one.) Since my room isn't rectangular, I couldn't really test the 'sound projection' capabilities. You can connect and external sub-woofer too, which I did not attempt.

Connectivity is good, with 4 HDMI inputs, and two component/composite inputs. A USB port is a nice feature, as you can connect a flash drive or other storage device, and play back digital files directly. (I haven't had a chance to test this thoroughly yet.) A digital audio output should come in handy for routing audio back to my surround sound receiver from the antenna input.

The design is understated, with an all black cabinet. The logos aren't huge, and they don't light up or anything. I particularly like the narrow (less than 1") bezel. On the stand, I have just enough room for my center speaker, which is about 4.5" high, to sit in front of the set. I'm still getting accustomed to the glossy screen, and was a bit wary of it before I made my purchase. My viewing room has a large window opposite the TV, and the reflection is a problem. However, the nature of a matte finish screen tends to reduce the sharpness of the image, so I opted for a better picture.

The remote is 'activity based' and capable of controlling other devices through the usual code entry, or via HDMI control of CEC devices. The button array is pretty basic, so you may end up using a different universal remote, or individual remotes. I haven't programmed the included remote, as I use a Logitech Harmony One instead.

This TV doesn't have some of the 'features' other manufacturers are throwing in these days. But honestly, I don't need network connectivity, kid's features or recipes on my TV. The Energy Star rating is another plus, and something that's becoming fairly common. If you're looking for a high-quality LCD TV that you'll enjoy for years, take a look at this unit. I find it to be truly impressive.

I bought this television because of its built in sound system. I am almost deaf. Years of flying super-sonic jet fighters destroyed my hearing and most of my other tvs have the speakers in the back of the set. I had to watch sub-titles to understand the programs. Not anymore, this tv's 16 speakers in front allow me to hear most adequately. The picture is outstanding as well. The only gripe is the remote because it is difficult to read, especially in a dark room.. All in all, a wonderful product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, December 31, 2009

Researched Sony, Samsung, etc. but the sound bar built into this really brought the Mitsubishi to the forefront to look into. The higher end Sony XBR9 and the Samsung 750 have a slightly better picture, but with that said, this has an outstanding picture and great sound. I hooked up a sub and when watching movies it sounds terrific with a crystal clear picture. The colors in the picture also seem the most accurate to real life. It is very sharp looking too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking at for a TV and love this choice over other TV's I researched.
