This LCD HDTV features an Edge-Lit LED backlighting for a sharper brighter image, and its True120Hz anti-blur technology doubles the standard LCD frame rate to produce a more fluid, natural motion–making it a great choice for watching sports and fast action movies. Other features include StreamTV Internet Media (with access to the VUDU HD movie rental site and more), four HDMI inputs, USB port for viewing photos and listening to music, and wireless Internet capabilities (using optional adapter).

Key Features

• 55-inch LCD panel with Edge Lit LED backlighting bends and diffuses light for a sharper, brighter image. An added bonus: The arrangement of the LEDs along the edge of the screen makes an ultra-thin profile possible. LED-lit TVs are also more energy efficient than conventional CCFL backlit LCD TVs.
• 1080p Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels)
• StreamTV Internet Media access provides instant access to an extensive library of high-quality entertainment and social media content. Grab your remote and choose from over 100 different streaming applications, including VUDU HD movie rentals, Pandora, Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, Twitter, Associated Press, The New York Times and more. VUDU Movies features the world’s largest catalog of HD movies with more than 3,000 movies, and its HDX video format is the only streaming 1080p HD video with high resolution 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus surround sound available directly on Internet-connected televisions.
• Plush1080p 5G 12-Bit video processing converts lower-resolution signals to 1080p to eliminate jagged pixelated imagery.
• True120Hz technology for more fluid, natural motion from fast-moving video such as sports, action movies, and more.
• 6-Color Processor takes the three primary colors (red, green, and blue) of the video signal and extracts three secondary colors (cyan, yellow, magenta) in order to individually process each color for greater accuracy.

• Immersive Sound Technology with 12 intelligent speakers (producing 24 total watts of power) that direct perfectly balanced audio waves beside and behind the user to reproduce 5.1 surround sound and create an unparalleled entertainment experience. Through the use of an advanced algorithm, the sound technology delays the sound beams and projects them independently from the 12 speakers at varying intervals, to create fully immersive surround sound.
• Dolby Digital 5.1 sound processing
• Video modes: Brilliant, Bright, Natural, Game
• Integrated HDTV tuner receives both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable programming.
• HDMI Control (CEC): HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, allowing the TV’s remote control to operate some functions of these devices.
• Easy Connect function automatically recognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to assign a name to it. The TV ignores any unused inputs, so the result is an uncluttered menu where you can easily find and select connected devices by name.
• Two USB ports enable you to play MP3 music and JPEG photo slideshows on this HDTV (one port provides accessory power only).
• Wired networking via Ethernet port
• Wireless Internet ready (802.11b/g/n connectivity with optional adapter)

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

 

Mitsubishi LT-55154 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED Edge-Lit LCD HDTV User Review

This tv has one of the most amazing pictures I’ve ever seen – and being in the business I’ve seen alot, so much so I’ve decided to keep it in spite of the annoying glitch of rebooting it everytime I put a dvd in it!The input seems to crash every time I start my sony blu ray or regular dvd player.
