Mitsubishi LT-46249

Mitsubishi LT-46249

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: Superior sound quality compared with other TVs; solid black-level performance; relatively accurate color; adjustable dejudder processing; Vudu on-demand video and Pandora streaming work well; numerous picture adjustments; includes three HDMI and three component-video inputs; extremely thin bezel results in nearly "all screen" look, except for the speaker.

The bad: Expensive; uneven screen uniformity; dark areas dinged bluer; clunky remote control and menu design; very little surround effect; subwoofer required for the best sound.

The bottom line: If you want the best sound available from a TV, the Mitsubishi LT-249 series will be worth the high price.
