I bought Mitsubishi LT 52144 in July 2008. What a disappointment!
The set looks good, simple clean design with a very thin frame, no annoying glossy panels, displays a decent HD picture, and has all the "right" technical specs, but every time I watch it, I feel that I made a costly mistake. Avoid this model.

Pros:
1. Looks good.
2. High Definition picture is decent.

Cons:
1. Very slow switching between inputs.
2. Poor image quality in low definition channels.
3. Poor sound quality.
4. Poorly designed remote. For a $3,000 set it has to be better than remote that comes with a bargain basement 20 inch unit.
5. "Format" function has only two modes ("normal" and "wide") as opposed to four ("normal", "wide", "wide zoom", "zoom") in other 16:9 TV sets.
6. No picture-in-picture mode. You can watch exactly one input at a time. Considering really slow switching between inputs it is very inconvenient.
7. No memory card slot.

Mitsubishi once positioned itself on the upper scale of quality video and television products. No more. The sound from this TV is pure tin box and their customer service and customer relations is pure garbage. Don't touch this or any other Mitsubishi Television product with a 10-pole. You'll be taken and you'll be sorry. Sony, Samsung and Sharp offer superior products and customer service. Mitsubishi has fallen to the bottom of the dung heap.
