Hello, the T.V. is what I expected and more, why more? Because of the picture, it is crystal clear and impressive. In comparison to other LCD T.Vs I haven't seen a better picture yet on another brand. If you are like me and seek the best possible picture possible with todays technology this T.V. is for you but seeing is believing. Mitsubishi went all out on this LCD T.V. picture quality, its amazing however, I recommend HDMI for the best possible picture. Standard Definition (SD) programing don't even look like SD because of the qulity of the images meaning older movies are brought to life.

For T.V. buffs looking for a quality LCD T.V., especially picture, need look no further because this is it. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the sound. The picture is so overwhelming that I forgot about the sound? The 16-speakers produce an outstanding surround sound, the LCD T.V. allows one to connect a subwoofer which upgrades an already impressive sound. The T.V. is ideal for the bedroom however, could also be used in the living room too.

I have shopped around for the perfect HDTV and found this one to exceed my expectations, I recommend this LCD T.V. for those looking to upgrade to an LCD T.V. with the best possible images / picture or for a frst LCD T.V.

I have this exact tv, the mitsubishi lt-52148, the only difference between mine and this lt-52149 is the sound bar mine is 1300.00 currently and this one is 1900 for the extra sounbars speakers. I chose not to get the sounbar because i have a home theatre so it would have been useless!

I purchased this (lt-52148(exact same tv w/o soundbar)) tv for 2k when it first came out, it was 2500, but i got it on sale, overall id pay the same amount and buy it all over again. The on screen menu's are extremely user friendly,and the options are amazing it has 4 hdmi ports so you dont need much more, also has component so you can hook up and old equipment as well. The 120hz live motion is Phenominal and takes viewing to a whole other level, The picture is extremely clear,crisp and vibrant, especially when you run blu rays. I love watching tv more than ever!!! You do get a tad of blur on live motion around moving objects but not too noticeable and nothing more than any other lcd on the market. For 1500 bux this tv is a steal. Does not run hot and for the last year ive had 0 problems with this tv..It is a high performer and the thin outline around tv gives you all 52" that you want. Every time some one comes over there amazed at the sheer size and classy look of this tv. But when i turn it on and demo a blu ray in live motion, they look at me and are literatly speechless. They dont even say anything there just trying to process how the tv is displaying the way it does.LOL!! No Joke. 1500 is worth this tv, if you are looking for a 52". I want a bigger 65" plus but im waiting for prices to adjust just because i love huge displays but i love this tv!!! PHENOMINAL AND ID BUY IT AGAIN!!!!

I just bought this TV last night at BestBuy. I paid 1299.00 because it was the last floor model. I am still trying to figure out how to get my analog cable to work. It scans all the channels but it won't display them after it finds them working fine. Other than that, this is my first LCD TV I have purchased. For what i can tell, I paid A LOT less then everyone else so from that stand point I am happy. The only down fall is I don't have a manual for it. I am hoping to find one on-line. Generally this was a great buy! I love moving from my 32" JVC analog TV to this monster 16 soeaker system. If you get a chance to buy it this cheap, DO IT! You won't be disappointed.

I bought my LT52149 just 4 days ago from a local retailer on a whim frankly, and so far I'm really impressed with this set! The ease of set up, VERY nice video quality and assignable inputs make this set a winner in my book! I really like the thin bezel on this set as it allowed me to fit a 52" set in a 49" wide space. My first and most recent lcd tv purchase was a 40" Series-6 Samsung TOC set for my master bedroom. I've had it now for about 6 months and I absolutely LOVE it! In fact, I initially set out to purchase the 52" Series-6 Samsung TOC set but at 51.5", it was too wide to fit my entertainment center. Based on the pricing I've seen so far, I practically STOLE this set @ $2079.99 out the door, including tax. I would never have given this set a second look at its original price, but now I'm glad I did! For me, it leaves nothing to be desired.

I was able to view this set at a local Circuit City, and I was really impressed with this set. This is a high-end LCD screen that does not have the annoying white "glare" that many other LCDs have - the glare that makes it (for some) impressive in an in-store demo but probably annoying when you get it home and watch it for an extended period of time. Bright whites are good, but not when they have an unnatural glare to them.

I was there to look at the Panasonic 800U 50" Plasma (great THX mode and skin tones,) which I also recommend and probably plan to buy, but this screen kept catching my eye due to its excellent color, picture quality and image "naturalness." I would definitely consider this screen and compare it to higher-end Samsung LCD displays if I were in the market for an LCD, and am posting this review because you don't hear much about Mitsubishi LCDs but this display (and I imagine its 46" and non-sound-bar variants) is pretty remarkable and has some unique qualities I have not seen on other LCDs. The only screens that I've been genuinely impressed with are the 60" Pioneer Kuro Plasma, The Panasonic 800U 50" Plasma, some *very* high end Samsung LCD screens ($5-$6K), and this Mitsubishi screen.

I would describe this LCD as looking almost like a "DLP done right" - the cinematic quality of DLP with a super-wide viewing angle, and offering the clarity of and LCD, but not the artificial contrasty quality of an LCD. If no one told you this screen was an LCD, you might think it was some kind of high-quality plasma or next-gen DLP screen. Definitely worth looking at. I think it's a pretty unique screen.

[EDIT] - Another thing I forgot to mention - this screen has a high-quality *matte* (not a reflective) finish which seems to work very well. This may be why it sort of reminds me of a DLP from the future, since they typically have matte screens. A matte screen is what I think may give it that "cinematic" quality as movie and projector screens are generally always matte and not reflective like a typical LCD screen. Reflective screens tend to make the blacks look deeper and improve contrast, but I didn't feel like a reflective screen would have improved this TV.
