5 comments about LG Electronics 42LC7D 42" 720p Flat Panel LCD HDTV.

1. I purchased the LG 42LC7D recently to replace my Toshiba rear projection HD CRT, that failed after 3 and half years. I shopped around for the awhile and found that this TV had the best picture and features for the money. I got it set up and mounted to the wall. I was impressed by the picture. The HD looked really good on my old TV, but this one looks much crisper. The colors did not seem as vibrant as they were on my old TV, but they were close. I had it hooked up through component and HD looked excellent, but the analog channels were still a soft, and dull. Then I went and picked up the cable box that supports HDMI. I was blown away at the difference. I did not think it would matter that much. HD looks nearly the same, but the colors are much deeper. The biggest difference I noticed was in the analog channels. They look incredible! The colors are much better, and the picture is crisp. It is one of the best pictures I have ever seen with an analog signal. I couldn't be happier. Overall, I am very happy with this TV, and you can't beat the price.



2. I purchased this TV about a month ago and so far no complaints, whatsoever. I have hooked it up to a Sony upconverting DVD player, and a digital-HD cable box. Spent initial half an hour to calibrate my input signals from these devices, and voila! crystal clear picture. Btw, you should always calibrate your TV because the factory settings are there to make these stand out the competition, not always The Best for your TV room ambiance.
   
   I am not using internal speakers, since my devices are routed to audio reciever, so cant really say anything about the TV sound quality.
   
   Overall, for the price, I am very happy and I think I made the right decision not to go for Samsung 40" which I was getting for about the same price.



3. When I brought my 42" LG home and set it up, we were getting erratic behavior--the picture would freeze for 10 seconds or so four or five times a half hour. I called LG and the cable company. The latter changed a card in the set top box and everything was fine. I saw the cable guys at a neighbor's home a few days later. Both of them had bought the 42" LG like mine! The two of them agreed that they'd seen lots of new HD sets, but thought the LG was the best cost/performance buy.



4. I couldn't believe how dark and muddy the picture was on this TV. I tried with the HDMI and component from a high-quality Sony system. HDMI certainly looked a lot better and I could scale the image to the native resolution of the TV and it still looked awful. Adjusting brightness and contrast just washed out the picture and made all the blacks gray.



5. I had this TV for 6 months now, and the TV is perfect for the price tag. I like the picture quality, sound. I dont know why some people had issues with it.

5 comments about Samsung LTN1785W 17-Inch LCD Flat-Panel TV.

1. We really struggled with spending $900 for a small TV for the kitchen peninsula but after buying a $200 16" Samsung tube TV and losing so much counter space plus the odd viewing angle, we decided to return the 16" and blow the wad. It turned out to be the right thing to do. What a gorgeous picture this thing has and being HGTV ready and wide screen, this will not be obsolete in 2-3 years. It has a crystal clear sharp picture with no light glare. It's not heavy and easy to move around. The extra space we gained really makes a difference. Everytime we watch it we are so happy we decided to go this route. Now we wish we could replace our other TV's with LCD/plasma, but guess we'll wait till the prices on the larger screens come down.



2. I got my Samsung LTN1785W 2 days ago and so far it is a great TV. I saved space on my office table and the picture is very good so far. I have to connected any component so far but with normal cable it is fine. I will tell you more after I play so more with it !



3. Don't take me wrong - this TV is the great product. I use it in the kitchen, as everyone else. The picture is sharper and the colors are truer (in comparison, say, to LTM1755, which I owned briefly). But when I connected it to the old DirecTV receiver, the picture came out extended. So, I had to update the receiver, get cables (because this piece does not come with them), etc. If you want to use it mostly for watching non-HDTV programs in non-wide-screen format - don't get this monitor. Get Sharp instead it's less fussy.



4. This TV is a decent device but a little overpriced for what you get.

   My number one gripe with this TV has to do with the sound quality. The standard built-in speaker does not offer the clarity and crispness of the ordinary 10 year-old tube TV that it replaced.

   The other annoyance has to do with the short muscial tone it plays every time the TV is turned on or off. It gets old fast.

   My third peeve is with the monitor's on/off indicator light. When the TV is turned off, a red LED light glows red, and when the TV is on, the LED light disappears which is the total opposite way that I would have designed it to function.

   On other hand, the picture quality for regular cable-TV channels/broadcast TV is good to very good, depending on the channel.

   The HDTV option is a little awkward to work and not worth the trouble due to the limited number of HDTV channels available in NYC.

   Bottom line, is I love the thinness of the TV but the speaker system needs improvement.




5. After looking at comparable models from Sharp, Phillips, Sony, and others we settled on the Samsung LTN 1785W. It is sitting on a credenza in the breakfast nook off the kitchen and fits very nicely on the counter and under the china cabinets. The screen is plenty bright enough for full daylight viewing. This was important to us, as the area has a lot of natural light from windows and a skylight. The picture is very clear and sharp. The options available for picture, color and sound adjustment are simple and effective. I added the HDTV box yesterday and the added clarity is quite astounding. As noted in another review I would rate the sound quality as acceptable, but not outstanding. The Dolby 5.1 added with HDTV helps.

   I note this set is list priced (currently) at about $999, but we got it for over $100 less by shopping around, then got $100 cable credit from Comcast and Samsung on a special offer. So, while initially pricey for a 17 inch set, the net cost was quite reasonable for this quality HDTV ready widescreen set.

5 comments about Toshiba REGZA 42HL67 42-Inch 720p LCD HDTV.

1. TV rocks. Great picture, sound, interfaces, price.
   
   Problems.
   Slow to power up. On powering up if not recently used takes 5 seconds before it responds with the reassuring click that the remote worked. This has caused a fair amount of chaos among new users trying to figure what is not working.
   
   Remote not compatible with direct TV... not a choice to set TV to... Whose idea was that? Still trying to figure away around this problem.
   
   Direct TV remote does not interface with TV very well. It is sluggish and inconsistent. Still trying to fix this.
   
   Still awesome TV.



2. The price was the best we found. Consumer Reports rated the Toshiba 42HL67 highly and delivery and installation went soothly-just follow the steps on wiring from your cable company. The picture is terrific in HD and SD and the remote is not complicated. Anyway, once set, you use the cable box remote.
   Our only complaint are the speakers which don't seem very powerful or clear but we were planning on upgrading before we bough the TV but decided to wait to make sure whatever we bought was compatible. The set looks nice and sleek in our family room. After tons of research, this set does it for us.



3. This is my third Toshiba TV, sold one to make room for this one and still have a 50" Rear Projection that has NEVER given me any trouble eight years running(Knock on wood). For the money -- 42" for $1,019 including S&H from another web site, this is hands down ... THE LCD to get. If your looking for LCD's that is. Good picture quality with standard definition programming despite the poor standard def. signal we get from our cable company. I have seen reviewers complain about this TV's standard definition picture, but you must realize the old addage ... junk in = junk out. No TV can "clear up" a poor signal. Remember also that these TV's are meant to be viewed from a distance, be sure to buy size appropriate for the room as too big means a grainy looking picture. Unbelievable, but in the case of High Def. TV's ... bigger isn't always better a.k.a. size DOES matter!! This sets High Definition picture is incredible ... looks 3D. Don't worry about it being only 720P as cable providers (at least mine) are only feeding 1080i anyways and it fills this screen size nicely with excellent detail. You can count the blades of grass during PGA tournaments or watch the dust flying around each contestant during their post-performance review on American Idol(Somebody needs to dust out there in California!). If you want a High Def. set above 42" in size, you'll want 1080p capability to reduce possible pixelization. I don't have Blue-Ray or the defunct HD-DVD to review but my 480p Progressive DVD player picture is very clean on this TV. If you buy a High Def. TV you ABSOLUTEY need a "High Def. Set-up Disc" such as AVIA, etc. Borrow one from a friend, maybe Netflix rents 'em, or straight up buy one with the coin you saved buying this tv. These DVD's help tune in the picture as most TV's are sent out of the factory with extreme color saturation and brightness (an attempt to stand out from the crowd in the showroom). And you ABSOLUTELY have to somehow get High Def. content running through this TV such as "Over-the-air" rabbit ears, HD cable box, HD satellite box, Blue-Ray player, or the now-defunct HD-DVD player. Not doing so should be listed as one of the seven deadly sins... Failure to provide a high tech., high def., flat screen LCD TV an appropriate signal!!!! PS- Always connect equipment with the highest level connector available to you. Ex- If your cable provider box has an HDMI output ... use it. You'll get the best picture that way. And don't be fooled by "Monster Cables" for HDMI cables (or any other cables for that matter). Unless you have a "Theatre Rooom" and spell and call it such ... you're an average joe or jane like me. That means go to a web reseller (mycablemart, ect.) and buy an HDMI cable for $ instead of $$$$$. A digital signal is either there or it's not, no such thing as "signal degradation" like an analog connection.
   
   As for "problems" other reviewers are having here ... 1)Yes, they're right, these speakers can't handle a lot of bass. My old analog TV couldn't either. They're simply not made for a wide range of acoustic, Not too many TV speakers are.
   2) Delay in start up ... read the manual people! States that is a power saving energy star feature that CAN be set off for instant power up.
   3)Sluggish remote ... I do have to agree with this one a little, not extreme though. And when sun is glaring toward it (Infrared Radiation) it does have a less of a remote "field of vision". Ehhh, I draw the blinds then and it just makes the picture look that much better ;-)



4. The TV itself is great. I purchased it December 2007. Everything was going great and we were enjoying it a lot until the power supply went out in the TV (March 2008). We contacted the store we purchased the TV from and they sent someone out to take a look. After confirming the power supply needed to be replaced they told us that it would be June or July before they could get the parts. The repair company and the store we purchased the TV from both said that having the customer contact Toshiba directly usually results in a better response on getting parts.
   
   We contacted Toshiba directly, they assigned a rep to our problem, and we haven't heard anything back since. Each time we call Toshiba to get an update on the parts for our TV, they tell us that the rep has all the information and will call us back. They refuse to let us speak with the rep they assigned to the case, and they refuse to let us speak with a manager at Toshiba's call center.
   
   When asked why it takes so long to get parts for a new model TV, the response from Toshiba was, "Well, we make a lot of TVs and some of these parts come from overseas".
   
   I have had other Toshiba products and been very happy with them, but this experience with their customer service has turned me off of purchasing Toshiba products in the future.
   
   The real kick in the pants... we even purchased the "extended warranty" when we bought the TV and it has done absolutely nothing for us.
   
   The TV is really nice... when it's working but for the last month or so all I've had is a big dead black square hanging over my fireplace.
   
   Something is disturbing is that before purchasing this TV I couldn't find any bad reviews of this TV (a few complaints about the "green problem"). After having the TV for a few months, I see that other people are having the same type of issues with their TVs and getting the same response from Toshiba's customer service department.
   
   If you are getting ready to purchase this TV, I'd wait a few more months to see if any more bad reviews pop up around the Net.



5. This TV is absolutely terrific. It's out of box video quality doesn't really need to be adjusted beyond personal preference. Doesn't look the best in store because it's sitting next to 5000$ Samsungs, but once it's home, it's truly incredible. I never thought I'd be able to afford quality like this. Do not hesitate, put away buyers remource and get it. It can be found for $800 plus tax and shipping if you look hard. If you can't find it for less that $1400, it may be better to look at a samsung, but I still can't say enough positive things about this TV.
   
   I'm not big into sound because my apartment is small and I have to keep quiet anyway, so this is the only area where it may be lacking, but it's got so many connections for 5.1, etcc, it doesn't matter.
   
   Please, do yourself a favor. It's way more affordable than it should be. Seems like one of those too-good-to-be-true deals, but it's not.

1. Bought this on the advice of my neighbor. Plug & play. I had it on in time to see the Red Sox lose to the Yankees, so I switched over to a movie, the Bad Leiutenant, Harvey Keitel dancing a drug induced solo minuet in all his natural born glory. I've got to get HD! I paid 25% less than the Amazon price. My comcast remote won't recognize the TV code so I have to use separare remotes for each piece of equipment. Other than that, so far so good.

5 comments about Magnavox 42MF231D 42-Inch Plasma HDTV.

1. We bought this tv in April of last year. In June it started acting up somewhat. We would turn it on and the screen would show up but there would be no sound. All we had to do was shut it off and turn it on again, simple, but it just got worse. It would happen and we would have to turn it on and off again several times before it would work properly. Soon after that the screen would not come on at all (the green light would show there was power and the screen would get a lighter shade of black so we knew it was getting power) and we would have to turn it on and off again a ridiculous amount of times. (We had newborn twins at the time so were not able to get it in to customer service right away so that is why we put up with it for so long) We thought that since it was within the one year warranty period that we would have no problem getting it fixed. My husband phoned in and we were told to take it to a repair shop close to our home and that all repairs would be covered. SO my husband took it in and he was told that yes, all parts would be covered under warranty but the charge for services would be our responsibility (about $200). That is just ridiculous! HOw can you sell a $2000 tv and have it work for less than 3 months and have the customer responsible for any cost of repairs? I am so disappointed in this company and their so called "warranty" I don't feel we should be in the least bit responsible for any costs to repair an obviously defect piece of equipment. In fact, I expected them to bend over backwards to try to resolve the problem and although customer service was helpful and friendly there was nothing they would do about incurring the service costs. We had no choice but to get it fixed but I will never buy anything from Magnavox again...ever.



2. I jumped out of my 37" plasma Panasonic, and into this from my local target store. It was hundreds less than other tv's of this style and ability, with HDMI ports, and all the bells and features of the Panasonic unit....
   
   I was really worried about the technical side of this device, but the warrantee for 3 years, for $79. was well worth the money to remove that worry. I have been happy as heck with this tv. Auto adjustments for the change of the channels, it automatically adjusts from 720p to 1040i, to standard tv. on the fly. Love that feature.
   
   The same tests I ran on the Panasonic, I do on this tv... I read someplace online, that watching the BMW commercial, where the car tires have the emblem of the blue and white rotating, and continueing to display the different colors is the best mark of a tv set. Rich colors, deep blacks. Unreal picture with Directv High Def receive and setup. I will never look back - and am real happy at this little Jem.
   
   Remote is ok, menues take a bit to get use to, but still ok.
   I am happy that about $1100 got me a bigger unit, wall mounted, and under warrantee...



3. I bought this Magnavox 42" plasma HDTV at the end of Feb 2007, and it has been fantastic. Absolutely spectacular. The person who wrote the highly negative review must have bought a slightly different model or an earlier version of some kind, because this Maganavox has been flawless. I should also mention that I bought this HDTV after doing a huge amount of research and after a lot of weary walking around electronics stores. I also got a great deal on the price.



4. We purchased a plasma from Magnavox in Nov. of 05...an earlier version of this model. Within the first 3 months we started having problems with the picture getting lines through it. We spent hours...many hours on the phone with Magnavox trying to locate someone to service this TV. A company finally did. Three months later more problems occurred...the enamel began to peel and flake...the picture got worse...so we then had to send our TV to another service center for over 3 months. We got it back Feb. of 2007. It does not work at all now...no picture...nothing and Magnavox will not even consider fixing or replacing it because it is out of the puny one year warranty. DONT BUY A MAGNAVOX PRODUCT!



5. I purchased this TV 2 years ago. The image started failing, basically starts shaken then the screen goes black.(still you can heard the audio). We have to turned off and on waiting at least 30 minutes on unpluggin from the power. NOT RECALLS for this item eventhough is cost around $2,000

1 comments about Westinghouse LTV46W1 46-Inch LCD HDTV.

1. I bought a westinhouse LCD TV for over $1600 and the tuner went out after just 2 years!!! You will be greatly dissatisfied with a Westinghouse product, even if bought at a reasonable price. I called the Westinghouse customer service department and they basically said that they weren't going to fix the problem. This is the last time I buy a product from Westinghouse.

5 comments about Mitsubishi LT-46131 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

1. I got this tv a little over a week ago and it is extrememly nice. I have no complaints so far and am very pleased. The picture quality is excellent, especially on Xbox 360



2. This is one awesome television. The picture is great via Direct TV and DVD. I don't have cable so I can't give an opinion there. There is one setting that greatly reduces the fuzziness found on most sets when not watching a true 1080 P or I picture.
   
   The closed captioning takes a bit to turn on. (7 button presses on the remote). I use a Harmony 880 that has the ability to program a sequence of commands so I made an ACTIVITY (macro) to allow me to press one button instead of seven. Otherwise, this would be an inconvenience.
   
   I have owned two Mitsubishi TVs. One lasted 17 years. The other is still going after 18 years. I have owned one Sony. The front input panel stopped working after 3 years. The TV quit completely after 7 years. Hopefully, this new Mitsubishi will be like the others I have owned.
   
   I have not yet been able to tune to an over the air (OTA) HDTV broadcast. I am 28 miles from my closest station so I think I will need a serious antenna.



3. Working in the industry I have seen tons of televisions. The first day I saw the Mitsubshi LT-46131 I knew it was something special. I have owned this television for about 4 weeks and I am extremely pleased with it. Once calibrated (a few adjustments in the picture menu) the picture quality is absolutely breath-taking. It may not be the final word in black levels, but what it lacks in black-levels it makes up for in picture quality and detail. Don't get me wrong the black-levels on this television are good, just not the best available. The Sony XBR is better than the Mitsubishi in this regard, however the Mitsubishi bests the Sony in color reproduction and is equal to the Sony in picture detail. You can currently find this TV online for just under $3K with great financing offers. This television is a steal, did I mention firewire? Every night I come home the first thing I do is fire this puppy up (right after I kiss my wife), and I'm blown away everytime I tune in a high-def channel. I am no hi-def novice, this is my 4th high definition televison, previously owning a Panasonic PT-53WX52, Panasonic PT-50LC13, Vizio P50HDM and finally my beloved Mitsubishi. The Mitsubishi absolutely trounces my previous televisions, including the highly regarded Vizio. I know HDMI 1.3 is on the horizon but the picture quality of this set is hard to resist. Regular cable looks ok on this television but it needs a quality hi-def signal to really shine. This television is also among the best LCD's in terms of fast moving objects. When watching basketball and football games it's hard to detect any motion blur. I could not have made a better choice in a television. Mitsubishi is a class act.



4. I strongly suggest you do not purchase this HDTV if you intend to use it with a cable card. There is a defect in the chip causing pixelation on the HD channels. Brand new set has to go in for repair replacing the entire circuit board taking approximately 1-1 1/2 weeks "IF" the part is available. Can't imagine how long the unit will be gone and I've only had it 2 weeks! Customer service at Mitsubishi lacking - had to call 4 times - VERY LONG WAIT TIMES ON PHONE AND APPOINTMENTS WITH AUTHORIZED REPAIR SERVICES. Spend a few bucks more and go with Sony. This is my last Mitsubishi purchase!



5. I owned this TV for 3 weeks. Here is how I feel about this TV:
   
   What I like about it (from the best):
   1. No dead-pixels, clouds or banding issues. Not just for mine. Other owners reported similar quality.
   2. Better than average SD (480i) performance
   3. 1080p input via HDMI and DVI
   4. POP, there is no Picture in Picture but this TV can do split screen viewing very well with the exception of viewing two RF channels or two 1080p sources.
   5. Swivel stand
   6. Lots of freedom in tuning color
   7. IEEE 1394 port, for recording digital feeds great if you can find a cheap AVHD
   7. DVI-I interface, a rare find these days. 1:1 pixel mapping at 1080p
   8. Can level sound volume. Reduces the panic when changing channels
   9. On screen TV guide so you see which channel is playing what.
   10. Built-in Cable Card
   
   What I hate about it (from the worst):
   1. Black crush! While the black is black, so is dark gray and dark blue! Comparing the TV side by side with a Sony, the details in the shadow area is completely missing on the Mitsubishi.
   2. Overscans on HDMI. So a 1920x1080 image will be scaled up. Kind of defeating the purpose of having a 1080p TV. In fact, a PC output is HORRIBLE through HDMI due to scaling.
   3. Only 1080i via Component - no 1080p for XBOX 360 Platinum/Core.
   4. DVI image is missing a few rows/columns. The real resolution is like 1916x1076.
   5. VGA (via DVI-A) is only supported up to 1366x768.
   6. Cannot automatically expand 4:3 HD program to 16:9 while keeping 16:9 programs untouched.
   7. Poor User Interface. I cannot believe people praise about its UI. The interface is slow and non-intuative. It takes a full second after I press "INPUT" for my choices to show up. The menu dedicates an entire icon for rarely used function like naming my input source but to adjust color, I have to cycle through a dozen video options in 2 levels. The menu only provide the most basic configurations.
   8. Frequent mode change in split screen. If the video mode of one of the sub-window has changed (e.g. from SD to HD, 480i to 480p), the entire screen will flash. Most serious during channel change.
   9. According to an online source, this TV fails 3:2 pull down test for 1080i programs. (but it works for 480i!)
   10. Heavy. Close to 100 lb with stand.
   11. Will not display if a program is 1080i or 720p. I wonder why?
   
   What I see is Mitsubishi's first serious attempt in the LCD HDTV market. I think they have a lots more to learn and improve.

5 comments about HP SL4778N 47-Inch 1080p MediaSmart LCD HDTV.

1. Just got the HP 47" MediaSmart TV and hooked it up to make sure it worked. I love it, very nice picture quality, very easy to hook up to your wireless network, and instantly have access to your home pc. Updated the tv's software over the internet flawlessly. You will not be disappointed.



2. I purchased the MediaSmart TV 8 weeks ago and was very pleased. The picture WAS great and the setup fast and easy. If only it still worked. After only 2 months the main board died along with the picture. HP service just informed me they will replace the TV with a "reconditioned" TV. They will not provide a new one as this is not their policy. I would gladly accept that if it were a year old, but $2400.00 dollar and 2 months
   is unacceptable. I'm not happy about acquiring someone else's headache. READ YOUR WARRANTY CAREFULLY.



3. Recieved this product straight from Amazon. Got it in perfect shape, box was unblemished. Plugged it in and it never worked. Talked with HP, and they wouldn't send me another, just repair it at no cost. Like I want a brand new TV that needs repairs before it ever works. So I contacted Amazon and they were great. Unfortunately, they didn't have another to replace it, but they did all the work to get it shipped back, and I got a full refund, like it never happened. Its to bad, the TV was pretty, and it looked perfect where I had placed it. My guess is it was a bad power supply, but I still don't a have a new tv yet. Afraid to try again.



4. I purchased a 58inch HP Pavilion HD TV roughly 2 years ago. The computer went out in the TV. HP replaced the TV as they could not fix the problem. The technician, (whom was wearing an HP shirt and name badge), that installed the new TV said that with the new TV my warranty resets. He told me this because I expressly asked "what happens if the new TV ends up having the same problem?" Less than 9 months later the new TV also broke with the same computer problem. I contacted HP technical department and I was told that the warranty explained to me by the HP technician was incorrect. They went as far as to try and say that the technician was from a 3rd party and didn't work for HP. I asked for the 3rd parties' name and was told that HP wasn't required to give me that information. I implore anyone that is considering buying a TV from HP to consider Sony or any other product TV besides HP.



5. I wish I had read the review by F. Damico, 18 months ago(of course impossible as it was recently posted). I purchased a 65" HP DLP which I loved as a product....great picture, great sound, etc. Of course, things break..and that's where you look for a company to stand behind it's products.
   
   Well if you are looking at HP and TV's.... I'd look somewhere else! They clearly are not serious about the TV business or their reputation in it, to whit;
   1) I have so far made 7 telephone calls to HP. They won't provide a direct access to there TV department , only their HP 1-800 HP INVENT number, no matter how clearly you speak to their IVR system, it inevitably routes you to their PC support center on the other side of the globe...
   2) roughly 50% of the time that support center is successful in connecting you with their TV department
   3) if out of warranty, you need to purchase a service agreement (for $629)..which I did. HP says they will make three attempts, and if failing to repair the product, they will drop the charge to $369, and of course you are then stuck with a very large boat anchor.
   4)HP represented that AT&T was the service provider, which it turns out is not truthful (AT&T turns around and subs that work out to someone else...no company, just individuals from what I can piece together)
   5) in the one attempt to repair the TV, in two weeks time, the individual who came out to work on the unit, confided to their sidekick " I've never work on this fancy a unit before", got scared half way through.... put the parts back together...told me he would read up on the TV and be out the next day to finish it.
   6) You guessed it...no show, no call...
   7) Back to HP (30 mins to get to the support department) at which point they inform me that someone will be out in another two days' time. Won't tell me who, won't narrow it down to a half a day, etc.
   8) NEW EDIT 8/28/08 ; You've got the drill by now..... no show on yesterday's service call...no call from HP or the Service tech infoming me of same (I was there the whole day). When I have an hour too waste on the telephone, I will yet again attempt another call.
   
   So, like Mr. Damico, I beg you to save yourself the grief....do not buy an HP TV.

4 comments about Mitsubishi LT-46133 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

1. I haven't owned another HDTV, so I have little for comparison, but this thing looks great. Great viewing angle, great inputs/outputs. The menu is a little non-intuitive, the channel info box is big and blocks much of the screen until it eventually disappears, and channel changing in general is quite slow, but I think that's common for digital TV.
   --added a month later-- The HDTV "Blur" seems a excessive with this. Things are very clear unless there is a lot of movement. Dance and Sports are impossible to watch.



2. Thus far, this has proven to be an excellent TV with full features, great picture, and was easy to hook up



3. Have owned this set for several weeks now, and absolutely LOVE IT! Spectacular color and picture quality, and great ergonomics with it's thin bezel, slim profile and swivel base. This TV has a great feature set, build quality and connectivity vs. Sony and Samsung, and no shiny black plastic!
   
   I researched this purchase for many weeks, and found the Mitsubishi to be comparable to the best rated sets out there. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. Set was purchased and fulfilled from Amazon, and delivered on time without a hitch.



4. After months of researching which brand to buy, I decided to stick with Mitsubishi. I had owned one of their TV for close to 20 years before it broke down. The repairman said they don't sell parts for this TV anymore, which forced me to look into purchasing a new TV.
   
   I'd researched many brands of TV including Sony to decide which one was the clearest. Sony to me had the best picture but I was afraid to buy their TV because I had a history of repairs with their TVs.
   
   Then when I saw the high rating on the Mitsubishi LT46133 in Consumer Report, I decided to purchase this TV.
   
   The color is brilliant and the picture looks awesome. I brought an up-conversion DVD player and there's truly a difference in clarity between an up-conversion DVD player and a regular DVD player. I'm just waiting for the Blu-Ray player to go down in price.
   
   The 3 HDMI inputs and 2 of each composite, component and S-video inputs really makes it convenient for all your video equipments.
   
   If you purchase this TV, I suggest you lower the contrast, brightness and back light settings. Otherwise the color white would be too bright.
   
   Amazon was great with delivering this. I ordered this Monday night and the TV was at my apartment Thursday morning.
