Mitsubishi LT-40151 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Integrated Sound Projector, Black Review

I bought this TV to replace my 36" Sony Trinitron that just died. My Sony was in a custom built-in cabinet. I wanted to replace it with the biggest flat screen I could buy.

The only TV that fit my requirement was the Mitsubishi lt-40151. Its slim frame design met my needs perfectly. I looked at every brand of 40" flat screen and this had the smallest width footprint. I didn't want to go down to a 37". Of course that would have save me around 00.

Here is my review of this TV (after 1 day):

Good Things:
1> The picture quality is outstanding.
2> The sound is very good for a flat screen.
3> The TV channel guide is very nice.

Bad Things:
1> The price. If I didn't have a size requirement, I would have never looked at this TV. With the $[...] price, I shouldn't have items 2,3 and 4 in this list.
2> The remote control. Not layed out very well and the menu keys are way too small.
3> The TV menu is not very user friendly. It took me longer than usual to get the TV set up with over the air broadcast and my devices. **I've set up a lot of TV's, most recently Samsung and Sony LCD's. Their TV menu were very easy to navigates and very user friendly. Mitsubishi has work to do here.
4> Changing channels was very slow. Way too slow for a $[...] 40" TV. I have a Radio Shack converter box that changes channel 3x as fast. A $[...] TV should be able to match Radio Shack. **My Samsung and Sony LCD work much faster too.

Over all:
I would buy this TV again, since it was the biggest TV I could fit in my space.

Hopes:
I hope $[...] price tag has bought me a quality built TV that will last longer than my 12 year old 36" Sony Trinitron (that should have lasted 20+ years).
