Lots Of Pixels In a Small Thin Box
This 52-inch HDTV is just six inches thick but packs in a lot of technology for outstanding performance. Quality speakers are hidden away to maintain a beautiful, minimalist look that takes up less space in your room. The display is 1080p, which means it has the full 1920 x 1080 high definition resolution with progressive scan that is the highest quality HDTV standard today. With large televisions, this is important, as having a dense array of over two million pixels prevents the eye from seeing pixelation, especially at close distances.

The television is able to display any video signal that is connected to it. When a 1080p signal is the input, it is passed through with no down conversion, and the 1080p signal is maintained from beginning to end, giving the best picture quality. When a lower resolution is detected, whether it is 720p HD or a DVD, the signal is automatically scaled to display at 1080p, with minimal side effects and an extremely detailed picture.

In addition, the LT-52144 relies on Mitsubishi's Smooth120Hz technology that utilizes a 120Hz refresh rate to prevent image judder and create an even smoother image during fast-motion scenes.

Vibrant Colors You've Never Seen Before
The LT-52144 incorporates a slew of new technologies that give this television the most realistic color reproduction available on the market today. The new x.v.Color standard is supported, which dramatically increases the color space available, with 80% more color than standard HDTV. The television also supports Deep Color, a new standard that incorporates 10-bit color depth versus the previous 8-bit color depth. With Deep Color, shaded images show less banding and greater contrast.

Mitsubishi's Full Spectrum Color is an exclusive system that uses a wide range of phosphors in the LCD's backlight for brighter and more vivid reds and yellows, and more shades of green, cyan, and blue. Along with Mitsubishi's Color 4D Noise Reduction and PerfectColor, you get a wider color palette and the ability to fine tune the set to your exact preferences. The end result is a picture that is brighter, smoother, and more realistic than ever, with colors that have never been seen on a television set before.

Connections Galore
You don't need to worry about running out of connections with the LT-52144. It has a total of three HDMI 1.3 inputs with Simplay HD certification, so you can connect your Blu-Ray player, HD DVD player, and still have an input left over. It also has three component video inputs (two rear, one side), a side USB connection so you can display up to five megapixel photographs on the television, and two rear A/V inputs with S-Video. It has a Dolby Digital/PCM output and an analog stereo output. Mitsuibishi's NetCommand allows the included partially-illuminated remote to control an entire home theater system.

The LT-52144 is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Mitsubisui 52" LCD
Before buying the Mitsubishi I went to a couple of local stores to see what kind of picture it had. I was impressed by what I saw. However, what I saw was the television with a 1080i broadcast. When I got it home and put it on to the cable box the 1080i shows were very good, but anything less then that has a severe pixel breakup on the edges of any moving object. This is more visable the closer to the screen you are. Get back 10' and it is not as bad. Out of the box it is set up with the color set to a very bright level. You will have to do a bit of tweeking to get the picture to be as good as it can be. Once it is set up, and you get back a few feet, it is a good looking TV.

Great TV for Price!
If you want the short version just skip to the 2nd paragraph.

Alright this is my first review on something so here goes. I spent months, yes months trying to find the best TV for my money. I read all the review on all the different tv's. Heard all the rumors about "shadowing" on the LCD's and short life span on the plasmas. I went to all the different stores to check them out. The size of tv I was shopping for was around 50". I wanted the Pioneer plasma but too much $$$. So it was between Sony Bravia (120hz), Panasonic Plasma, or mitsubishi. When i was at the store i really couldn't tell a diffence between the Sony and the Mitsubishi (Diamond). Both looked like great TV's, both about the same price, within $100 of each other. Well i saw this mitsubish 144 Series that was much cheaper than the Mitsubish 244 (diamond) series. I went to their website to see the difference. There were a few things different such as; weight, speakers, tint adjuster. Nothing that seemed worth the $700-$800 difference. So i decided to make the purchase. There were no reviews on this specific tv yet so i took a gamble on it. I didnt think it was much of a gamble since its about the same as the diamond. The shipping took a little longer than i wanted, 2 weeks, although it was shipped from east coast (PA) to west coast, then to UT (normal shipping route).

Got the TV set it up to my DTV (NOT HD). The picture was pretty bad, but i figured it was because it was not HD. Played a dvd, (480i, Not upconverter) pretty bad still. so i went and bought an upconverter, the picture was much better, but not as i would like. So i called amazon and asked them how big of a hassel would it be to return tv, they said non at all. But before returning it i was going to do one more test. My friend has dtv HD and an xbox 360 1080P. So the wife helped me load it up in the truck (GIT-R-DUN) for one final test. I first tested it out on the XBOX and it was amazing, even standing close. I was still a little skeptical so we tried the DTV HD, my friend said some channels are better than others with the HD picture so he turned it to the discovery channel and it was awesome. So conclusion, Its a great TV. You do have to tweek the brightness and contrast a little but its an awesome picture! BUT.... yes the speakers on the tv are terrible, it sounds like its being projected through a tin can. I'm sure some LCD tv are better than others when it comes to speakers but i think for the most part its due to the fact that they try to hide the speakers on the tv. Its not a big deal though, i planned on using my home speakers anyways. I would have given it a 4.5 stars due to the speakers but for the money this is a 5 star value.

This TV is great and ahead of its time.
Great TV. The Non-Glossy screen while not as pretty as the Samsung's functions excellent in a room with a lot of windows. The picture is great particularly when watching CARS in 1080i; although the Miss USA pageant was never so enjoyable as it is in HD. When it gets a good signal (non-broadcast 1080) I never see any pixelation or blurring in really fast motion otherwise the picture is always perfect (Broadcast and On Demand (the latter usually having the best quality)).

What is particularly important is until Comcast gets more channels in HD, this TV makes SD (480) look great too. An added bonus is while a tad deeper than most flat screens at nearly 6 inches, you can get a lot of screen when more limited by width and height; and if you are going 1080, you are probably going to want the screen closer to you any way so an inch more depth is no problem (Most 52" TVs are nearly 54" wide while this one is only 48")

Only complaints are: 1) the HDMI ports on the back are hard to access if you are using thick monster cable. If you get a less thick cable, no problem. 2) The screen doesn't tilt forward and back on its base (but does swivel to face more left or right); if you are wall mounting I suppose that doesn't matter.

Great TV and amazing for the current price.
