Beautiful Design, Beautiful Picture, January 12, 2009

I absolutely love this television. I did a lot of research, read many reviews and personally inspected several LCD televisions before deciding on the Mitsubishi Diamond Series LT-52246 52" LCD.

PROS:
1) Absolutely beautiful picture.
2) Sharp looking; adds a wonderful décor to any room.
3) Full 52" screen, yet packaged in a smaller, very clean looking package that only takes up the space of a smaller 46" set because of the thin ¾" border around the actual screen.
4) Designs of the rear hook-ups are super easy to get too even while hanging on the wall and regardless of the plug types, nothing gets in the way.
5) The remote control has every important function that you'll need on a regular basis right at your finger tips. No hunting or scrolling through menus to find what you want to change or adjust.
6) This television has great powerful sound. When watching DVD's I run the sound through a really good AV system with Sub-Woofer, but when watching regular television programs, the factory installed sound offers surprisingly good highs and lows.
7) You can't beat Mitsubishi quality!
8) Arrived in about a week and was packaged to the hilt in protective packing material.

CONS:
1) None

SUMMARY:
After looking over several different brands, sizes and styles of LCD televisions, I had narrowed my decision down to the Mitsubishi Diamond LT-52246 52" and the Samsung LN52A750 52". What made me decide on the Mitsubishi were several things. Although both televisions have great pictures, the Samsung suffered from a sometimes bad reflection that would interfere with seeing the picture on a sunny day, the remote was a pain to operate and required a lot of fiddling to make simple changes and the border around the screen was 3" wide, making the television just too big in size. And although the Samsung was priced lower than the Mitsubishi by about $300 dollars, I read too many complaints concerning the poor customer service Samsung provided (or didn't provide). This is my forth Mitsubishi set and I've never experienced any problem with any of them! ... Read more
