Summary: BUY THIS HDTV!
Comment: First, allow me to state that I am a long time Sony user (which is widely considered to make the best in televisions and other electronics). Well, this Mitsubishi HDTV can stand "toe to toe" with the Sony line, and it does it at a much lower price.

This television's High definition picture is awesome, and it's speakers are more than adequate!!! I have DIRECTV which only offers a 1080i signal (this television has an even better 1080p capability), and I am totally amazed with the crisp and clean picture. The picture is great from any angle and close up. You simply have to see it to believe it (especially if you like sports and movies). The cooling fan is extremely quiet too (can't hear it at all).

IMPORTANT - It should be understood that this television is made for a HD signal (720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Due to the overwhelming size of the screen, non HD channels seem blurry, and almost not worth watching. So make sure you spend the extra money for the HD channel packages with your cable or satellite company.

On a side note, this model also comes with an easy set up feature. It's a very nice... you simply plug in your dvd player, satellite receiver, Play Station, Xbox, whatever and it automatically senses it. It will ask you to verify that it is what it thinks it is, and that's it; no special programming or matching remotes. The television is extremely user friendly!

If you plan on watching predominately high definition channels and movies, buy this tv! You won't be disappointed!!!

Summary: Magic in my living room
Comment: Picture quality is great when you use HD - I have a good up-converter DVD player, and the movies look absolutely stunning. I am one of those backdated guys who is still not subscribed to HD content from my satellite provider and hence watch normal channels. The non-HD content has blurred lines, and poor picture quality, but that should not be counted against this TV as this TV is not designed for clarity while showing non-HD content.

The sound quality is average and muffled, but I route the audio to my home theater system, so I do not use the TV's audio. So no difference for me. May be because I tested the TV's audio AFTER getting used to the room shattering home theater system - and that made it sound poorer.

For connecting computers - I was used to the VGA port on my earlier LCD, so slightly disappointed with no such thing here. If you do not have a laptop with DVI output, there is no easy way to connect it to this TV (there is S Video as an option if your laptop has S Video output, but I never liked the picture quality of S Video). That is why I am going to buy a VGA to Component Transcoder and see how it looks. I will update the review with the results.

It has 4 HDMI inputs, technology to watch 3D movies with special glasses on, easy menu, 2 antenna inputs for your cable and local antenna wire, an excellent manual. I was surprised to find that the power chord does not have the 3rd earthing pin - seemed cheap of Mitsubishi to not provide one with such an elite line of product. Overall, it is a grand sight.
