FREAKIN AWESOME!! December 9, 2008 I have to say that I've had this TV for 8 months now and it still is amazing!! I spent a lot of time researching televisions as well (COnsumer report, Walmart, Best Buy, CNET, etc) and had to figure out everything with them. THis tv was definitely the most consistent highest rated TV. As far as the "blur"ing issues, I picked up on them big time during the Macy's parade and the Rockettes kickline. THe TV really couldn't handle the upclose shots of those high legs! Haha, but as far as sports and dancing is concerned I have yet to have an issue. The only concern I have right now is, I have these random moments where the screen will become brighter and then darker, fading in and out. It's very subtle and you really have to catch it when it's a brighter color and I can't seem to figure out if it's the show or the tv. I will probably call Mitsubishi and have them answer that worry. Also, I have a difficult time with my green color. I love the 7 different colors to vary but my green always seems more intense. Nothing that I would ever say, don't get this! But I figured I'd let everyone know my two concerns. Recommendation: If you're thinking of buying this TV, make sure you have at least 6ft of space between your couch and TV. I'm aT 6ft right now and I really could use 8ft. But that's as far as my wall will allow me to go. But anything less than 6ft and the picture really isn't as enjoyable. That's all I have to say. Buy this TV!! Sidenote: they continue to recommend the 120Hz to the 60Hz but I think the picture is better with the 60Hz than the 120. I think the 120 really distorts the picture sometimes and the 60 is far more consistent. Plus it's typically $500 cheaper! Can't go wrong!
This is an amazing HDTV, eye-opening experience on 480i December 1, 2008 I compared this unit simultaneously with similarly priced Sony, Toshiba, LG, and Samsung at a local store, this HDTV looked better in terms of color, contrast and brightness.
The store used a 720p video source which had a demo of arena football footage, and all of the sets showed similar motion rendering. However, the Mitsubishi has higher contrast, sharper image detail and less grain-related fuzziness.
I have seen and compared many different makes and models of HDTVs and it appears that there are two main types of designs for image quality. Some designs smooth out the up-scaled moving images by a method that produces a grainy picture. The grain is very pronounced when viewed up close especially on a unit >= 46" (closer meaning closer than the recommended viewing distance). The same grained image shows progressively less perceived grain as one moves further back (as expected). The other type of design uses a dynamic block-based method which shows block-related artifacts up close (closer than the recommended viewing distance), but crisp and detailed images further back.
I used my camcorder for a test using a 480i recording. The Mitsubishi appears to use the latter type of processing design. The Mitsubishi's pictures are amazing even for 480i sources. In rendering 480i video, it produces gradations of color and detail that only the top-end sets could render (as of this writing). This could be because of its high-end image processing algorithm. In lesser sets, images of facial features are usually rendered in blobs of monotone color bands. By comparison, the Mitsubishi is able to distinguish and render the slight variations in tonality that brings out image crispness and detail even in 480i video.
This series of Mitsubishi has xvColor support and 10-bit color panels. It is likely that the performance I saw can be partly attributes to the 10-bit panel as well.
Best LCD TV for the money June 3, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Awesome TV at a great price! May 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
