 awesome hdtv Oct 04, 2007
By ILuvHiDef
Awesome tv! I was ready to purchase the Samsung 37". However, I was a bit put off by its shiny (i.e., distracting) high gloss frame. Then, I found that the Mitsubishi 40" was the same overall size as the Samsung 37" and the Mitsubishi's bezel is so small its almost invisible!
The Mits 40134 is definitely the way to go over the stripped down 40133. The 134 has dynamic contrast enhancement while the 133 does not. It also has "edge detail enhancement processing" which really does work. You can clearly see the difference even in the menu display while turning this feature on/off. Also, the 134's remote command feature provides 2, wired, InfraRed transmitters which allows the 134 to control other devices such as your cable box and DVD. I haven't yet used the 134's "TV Guide" capability so I can't comment on that.
If you do get this set, I recommend that you switch it from the default "Brilliant" picture setting to "Normal".

Small bevel and excellent color! Oct 18, 2007
By Happy Camper
Although I had my mind on a SHARP, I purchased the Mitsuibishi as it was the largest screen nice that would fit into an Ethan Allen Armoire we have. The Mitsuibishi has a very thin bevel around the frame which means you can pack in more screen size into a limited space. The 40 inch Mitsuibishi cleared by a half inch - just perfect. This was the only 40 inch TV I could get for this furniture. Otherwise, I would of had to have gone with a 37 inch model.
At first I was nervous about the brand as all the advertising and press seems to go to the big three - LG, SAMSUNG, and SHARP. Consumer Reports has never even tested a Mitsuibishi LCD TV. Well, the color is just fabulous. Mitsuibishi claims 25% more color than standard HD-LCD TV's. The set-up was easy and intuitive. You can even program the TV when you want it to come one each day. We also enjoy the side panel which allows you to connect just about anything including a USB drive. Mitsuibishi included some built in slideshow software so that you can easily watch your photos automatically when you connect the thumb drive to the USB port. Why wife really was glad we ended up picking this one. It way cost slightly more than the big 3 brands, but were glad we bought it.

Loving This TV So Far Sep 20, 2007
By brakmaster
I bought this TV recently and I haven't been able to stop talking about it. I looked at several TVs around this size and kept coming back to this particular model. The blacks are very deep and the contrast is crystal clear. HD sports, music, and science shows are absolutely engrossing now.
This model offers a wide variety of inputs (HDMI and component) and the system menu is very user friendly. Mitsubishi TVs feature a 'learning' remote control that seems a little complicated at first (and you don't have to use it at all). However, it's pretty cool and can turn on your receiver/cable box when you turn on the tv, pause your dvr when switching to a video game, etc. It took me a while to configure, but it's quite worth it.
You can buy a TV this size for less, but go ahead and scratch up the money for one of these. I'm very, very glad that I did.

 DON'T BUY IT Dec 27, 2007
By Discontented buyer
Don't bother with this TV. Mitsubishi's support for its product is nothing short of pathetic. I purchased this TV last month, only to have a small horizontal blacked out line show up in the display within the first week or so of use. Following all of the warranty instructions, I called Mitsubishi. Their local service center picked it up, called me a week later and told me it could only be fixed if a new LCD panel were provided. I was told I had to call Mitsubishi myself. Upon being called, Mitsubishi's agent claimed that the LCD panel was not within the warranty -- even though the warranty itself has no such exclusion, but covers all parts and labor. So if you want a $1700 paperweight, this is the TV for you. Otherwise, stick with another manufacturer.

Great monitor Aug 20, 2007
By J. Demetris
"JD"
Just picked up this monitor yesterday. Initial observations are that this is a really nice monitor. Clear, good color, even looks good with standard definition tv signals, can process full 1080p HD signals. My last Mitsubishi TV lasted 16 years without a hiccup (until it finally died), I'm hoping for a similar outcome with this TV. Compared it to Sony, Sharp, Philips, Visio (yuck), JVC, etc. Not the largest TV on the market, but one must consider how close you'll be sitting to the screen.
