More…There's nothing wrong with the Mitsubishi LT-46244 that a massive discount wouldn't cure. It isn't a bad TV, though it's nowhere near good enough to justify its $2500 price tag.

Mitsubishi LT-46244 LCD HDTV
LT-46244 Review, by Lincoln Spectort May 6, 2008
Our judges rated its overall image quality as good, with a performance score of 77, which ranks fourth among the nine 46- and 47-inch HDTV sets we tested contemporaneously and is only 3.6 points behind the top-performing Samsung LN46A550. On the other hand, you can buy nearly two Samsungs for the price of one Mitsubishi.
I found some of the images a bit light and pale, with occasional reddish skin tones (though far less pronounced than with the LG 47LBX Opus). More troubling was a moire pattern in Mission Impossible III's Vatican wall--something I didn't expect to see from a Blu-ray disc screening on a 1080p set. Other judges noted some excess brightness and blur.
The on-screen menus are clear and pleasant, with useful icons. But they have some annoying quirks. For instance, after you change a video setting, the menu vanishes, forcing you to bring it back up before you can change other settings.
The LT-46244 swivels on its stand, which comes in handy for watching it at odd angles and for accessing its rear inputs. You'll want that access to be as easy as possible because several of the inputs face downward, making them unusually difficult to use (luckily, you get a good selection of easy-to-access side inputs as well). Other worthwhile features are a USB port for photo slide shows, and an energy-saving option that reduces power consumption when the TV is off (at the price of turning on slower).
The LT-46244's built-in speakers sounded lousy. Even simple dialogue was a bit muddy. For such a steep price, I expected more out of this Mitsubishi's speakers.
On the plus side, the set's documentation is superb. The quick setup guide gets you started with the basics, and the 87-page (all-English) manual offers clear explanations throughout.
For $1600, the LT-46244 would be a reasonably good TV. But for its actual $2500 list price, this set is out of the question.

Strengths: Great picture when working.
Weaknesses: That whole, not working thing really gets to me.
Overall: We bought the tv in late June and it has, as I write this, broken twice now. The first time, 6ave kept it for 4 to 5 weeks to repair it under the extended warranty. 1.5 weeks later, it is broken again tonight. $2K plus $350 for an extended warranty -- feeling sick to my stomach over this.

Strengths: Compared to SONY KDL-46Z4100 & XBR4 is equivalent and priced reasonable with more features.
Weaknesses: None found,when connected to a home theater, speakers didn't matter.
Overall: Easy Connect & NetCommand take control to offer ease of setup. TV GUIDE & CABLE CARD feature work excellent. With 4 HDMI & all the connections you need I had no problems with any thing. This has one of the best pictures of all LCD TVs I have looked at.

Strengths: Excellant
Weaknesses: Speakers
Overall: Easy to setup, I have owned this set for 3 days now and except for the poor speakers sound, its the best TV I have seen. When compared to other flat screen LCD, I have found that Mitsubishi is top of the line even though you don't hear to much said about it. The colors are excellant. I highly recommended it even though it cost a little more.

Strengths: Incredible clarity and detail with natural color in the screen images. High refresh and Mitsu processing handle fast motion well. Thin frame is what others will copy. Light weight many features.
Weaknesses: Built-in sound is better than expected, but could be improved (same for most others in category). Recommed coupling with a surround system.
Overall: Compared LT-46244 with Samsung 4669F, Sharp 46D64U, and Sony XBR4. Mitsu size fit best and in my opinion had the best picture. Others seem like they cranked up the color intensity to capture your attention. LT-46144/244 have more natural color tones. All sets were good (I admit I was splitting hairs for my final decision). I've used Mitsu's 5M-pixel still photo viewing feature to discriminate fine details in some high quality digital photos and I'm very impressed. Others may be good, but this one is best! The Samsung & Sharp were less expensive, and Sony was higher. Very satisfied with my selection. This set replaced a 50 inch projection. No contest.

Strengths: This tv was compared side by side with the new sony xbr5 and to my suprise the mitsubishi out performed the sony xbr5
Weaknesses: Could improve on the speakers
Overall: The salesman and myself were very suprised that the mitsubishi lt-46244 out performed the sony xbr5 in clarity, color and detail, actually the sony picture actually looked cloudy or hazed when compaired to the mitsubishi, the objects in the far background of the picture on the mitsubishi were much clearer and defined, we did change the picture mode on both tv's and the mitsubishi really looks its best and natural on the natural setting. I was sold and purchased the mitsubishi after 3 to 4 hours of comparing both side by side. Both tv's look really great but the best picture is what sold me.
