I would first like to state that i own a Sony and Toshiba LED backlit LCD televisions.

I have never seen the samsung LED DLP screens or the laservue DLP.

I will be making this comparison solely compared to my other LED LCD televisions.

I do not yet own any 3D movies or equipment.

Pros:

PICTURE:number one is the size of this screen, i love it! it is great for HDTV and HD movies. Image is very clear and crisp.it has 120hz witch is much better against motion blur. it has advanced video calibration options. i just went to […] and used the settings there.

INTERNET TV:I also enjoy the wireless Internet. it has movies and it has news. my favorite feature is the ticker option. you can have a ticker at the bottom of your TV with facebook on it as well as other apps.

SOUND:The 16 speakers surround sound are very amazing! you can calibrate the sound with the microphone provided.

SIZE/WEIGHT: This TV is very light its almost as light as my 46″ LED TV. I could easily lift it with another person. i don’t think i would have needed another person but its better safe than sorry.

Cons:

POWER-ON/off: During power on it takes a few moments to come on during this time it displays a Mitsubishi start up screen kinda like a computer.it also does this for powering off(shutdown screen like a PC)

PICTURE: overall video is very good but not as good as my LED 120hz Toshiba. it is not as crisp and takes a few moments to fully brighten.Its not as good as my Toshiba for use as a computer monitor using the HDMI inputs.I would say the difference is very minimal.

INTERNET TV: the wireless tv requires you to buy an additional proprietary Mitsubishi AzureWave AW-NU231 Wireless Adapter. It also takes a minute for the internet TV to initially load.you also have to type with the remote control, not very fun.usb ports for the wifi adapter are in bad spots(one on back and one on rear side). they should be on top or directly on the sides. there is one on the side but it is being obstructed by the screen. causing it to loose signal strength. on top would be the ideal spot.

Sound: now that i have had a taste of the surround sound. I notice what it is lacking. A nice sub-woofer. now i gotta buy one because with one it would sound even better.

Heat: this TV makes some heat out of the rear by the lamp area. it might be good for the winter but not very helpful for the summer.

Conclusion: Overall this is a very good product i mainly bought it because they do not make a LED LCD screen in this size for this price.
