Larger screens in less space with low-profile, modern design

Mitsubishi’s super Thin Frame™ with high-quality hidden speakers for more
picture in a smaller space than ever before. The Mitsubishi Thin Frame™ measures

most flat panels. Each 40-inch model is only 37 inches in width and 23.9 inches
in height (without base); each 46-inch model is 42.3 inches wide and 26.9 inches
tall (without base), and each 52-inch model is 48 inches in width and only 30.4
inches high (without base). The 133 Series is presented in Platinum Black with a
Platinum Metallic accent. Both the LT-40134 and the 144 Series products are
finished in Platinum Black with a Platinum Black accent. Diamond models are
presented in a sleek high-gloss Black Pearl accented by a Diamond Blue light.
More color, for a more colorful image
Mitsubishi takes color to a new level on each member of its 2007-2008 1080p LCD
flat panel Lineup with a suite of color features led by x.v.Color™ support and
Mitsubishi’s Full Spectrum Color™. x.v.Color™ is the new standard in high
definition color. Its wide color palette provides up to 80 percent more color
than standard HDTV for breathtaking realism and vivid, natural colors.
x.v.Color’s wide color palette is complemented by Deep Color on HDMI™ 1.3
inputs, enabling additional color resolution for smooth transitions between
different shades of color.
Mitsubishi’s Full Spectrum Color™ results in 25 percent more color than standard
LCD. Reds and yellows become more vivid and there are more available shades of
green, cyan and blue, resulting in a more vivid, more realistic image.
Additionally, each model comes with Mitsubishi’s new Color 4D Noise Reduction
system that takes advanced noise reduction technology to the world of color.
Color 4D Noise Reduction adds an extra dimension to picture performance by
looking horizontally, vertically, within and between frames of video and
additionally analyzing color to filter video noise. The result is noise-free
images and clean, clear colors.
PerfectColor™ allows for advanced individual 6-color adjustment. The 134 Series
and Diamond models also include PerfecTint™ where the viewer can fine tune the
tint of each of the six colors for each input separately. The end result of
Mitsubishi’s full suite of unique color features is maximum color control and
breathtaking realism with vivid, yet natural color without compromise.
Lots of connections, made easy
All eight models offer superior connectivity and convenience. Mitsubishi leads
the industry with three rear HDMI™ 1.3 inputs, two rear component inputs, and a
side component input on every set for maximum HD connectivity with HD cable and
satellite boxes, Blu-ray Disc™ or HD-DVD™ digital disc sources and the latest in
HD gaming consoles. All HDMI™ inputs are version 1.3 and are additionally
SimplayHD™-certified to make sure all your HD components work together properly.
Additionally, a USB input for up to five mega pixel pictures lets you easily
connect a USB thumb drive or USB card reader for easy large screen digital photo
viewing in stunning HD clarity.
Mitsubishi’s Easy Connect™ makes set-up and operation simple, the 134 Series,
144 Series and Diamond models add NetCommand® to Easy Connect™ for a true
one-remote control home theater system. NetCommand® combines the control and
conventional IR-products and adds HDMI™ with consumer device control to create
an easy-to-use on-screen guide.
Additionally, the 134 Series and Diamond models add a side HDMI™ 1.3 input for
easy access wiring of an HD camcorder or HD gaming console, and even include TV
Guide Daily® for additional convenience. Diamond models even go one step further
to include an RS232C input for advanced home installation and are Digital Cable
Ready with a CableCARD™ slot for cable box free operation.
