Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Mitsubishi's LT-52144 is a 52-inch 1080p flat panel HDTV that incorporates the latest technologies for more accurate color reproduction and a picture that is more life-like than before. This 52-inch HDTV is ideal as part of a home theater system in a medium-to-large-sized room.

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. What's in the Box
LT-52144 52-inch LCD HDTV, remote control, two AA batteries, owner's guide, quick reference guide, quick connect guide, product registration card, cable tie and cable clamp, and two-ended IR emitter.

 Numerous Defective Panels November 7, 2009
D. Page
I purchased the Mitsubishi 52" LCD [Model LT 52144] In December of 2007. Within 1-2 months, vertical lines appeared on the screen. I delt with Mitsubishi and the retailer for about a month, then the retailer just replaced it because the manufacturer was taking too long to handle the issue. By summer of 2008, the new tv experienced vertical lines. Mitsubishi replaced the panel under warranty [the repair cost more than the original purchase price]. Then in October, 2009, the repaired panel started getting vertical lines. I have been in contact with Mitsubishi, they have actually extended their 1 yr manufacturer's warranty to 2 years, and have offered to replace this defective TV with a new TV [model LT 52151]. I have yet to find reviews for the new model, and am concerned about the quality of that particular TV.
Long story short: overall, we would have been pleased with this tv had we not experienced the vertical line issues. Obviously, there is a problem with this particular model LT 52144, since we have experienced it with two new tvs and a replacement panel within 22 months.

We bought the 52" Mitsubishi LT-52144 HDTV because we were impressed with the picture and because we had owned a Mitsubishi big screen TV from before and had trouble free use for over 10 years. So we thought we were buying a top-of-the-line brand and quality HDTV. The picture is beautiful/awesome. Unfortunately, the quality is not. We purchased this HDTV new on December 15, 2007. It now has vertical streaks on the right side of the LCD that we will need to get repiared. The TV is less than 2 years old as of August 2009. Thank goodness we bought an extended warranty on the unit or we would have been out [...]. By the way, we also have a second Mitusbishi 46" HDTV (LT-46144) in our house that we bought in April 2008 and it also had the same problem of vertical streaks down the ride side of the LCD (twice we had to have it repaired for that problem). So based on my two purchases, it appears that Mitsuibishi's LCDs for their HDTVs seems to have a quality issue. If it were not for the LCD quality problems, I would have rated this HDTV a 4-star (not 5-star) because the TV itself is great (4 star) but because it was much more expensive than other HDTVs in the same size, I don't think it was the best value (and hence, I would not rate it a 5-star). But because of the quality problems, I'm rating it a 1-star. I would strongly recommend that you purchase an extended in-home warranty if you purchase this model. But frankly, I would recommend that you avoid purchasing Mitsubishi because of their LCD quality issues.

I have owned this TV for over a year now and i am still extremely happy with my purchase. I own a LT-46133 as well and have had that set for about 3 years now. Both sets work great. Picture is outstanding. For those of you complaining about sound quality, shame on you, why are you going to judge a TV on sound quality alone and give it only one star? If you are going to truely take advantage of HIGH DEFINITION, it is both sound and picture. So please think about that before you go posting bad reviews. If you cant afford a sound system, dont buy HD equipment yet.
Back to the TV. Picture is great, blacks are the best on LCD i have seen. With both TVs i have purchased i shopped around for months before deciding on the set. I have been in several stores and have seen many TVs. This set is outstanding for the price and i would reccomend to any of my friends, or any buyer.
Five star TV!
 Great picture September 30, 2008

Extremely bright when using the brilliant setting. This TV delivers more contrast with this setting than any other TV I looked at. I love it. My only complaint is that this setting has such a high contrast that some things don't look right. Pin Striped suits or shiney hair will dance all over the screen and distract. This only affects a handful of movies that I have watched though.
 Mitsu is good, but not as clear as Samsung May 29, 2008
M. Manson (Elk Grove, CA)
I purchased this TV less than a week ago, only after getting a great deal. So far, I'm pleased with the overall product. It is a very silm TV, as far as LCD's go. The frame design is very thin and plain; for some, this may be a good thing, for others, not so much. The speakers are absolutely terrible! As far below mediocre as the sound is, Mitsubishi could have saved some weight on the total unit and left the speakers out altogether. I would highly recommend using this TV with some sort of external A/V system.
I have yet to purchase a Blu-Ray disc player, or even an up-converter for my current DVD player, however, I did see the HD performance at the store. It was comparable to all others; that is except for Samsung. Samsung seems to have all other brands beaten in terms of overall picture quality and clarity.
