Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc.,
has added five new models to its award-winning line of LCD
(liquid crystal display) televisions, including two high definition
sets with fully integrated HD personal video recorders. The
new models were introduced today at the company's annual dealer
line show in Huntington Beach, Calif., and will ship to selected
retailers later this year.
Leading the way are the 42-inch LT-4260 and 55-inch LT-5560
Diamond models, which include high definition personal video
recorders (PVRs) with 120-gigabyte hard drives; MPEG SD encoders;
CableCARD(R) slots; AMVP2(TM), Mitsubishi's second-generation
Advanced Multimedia Video Processor; and PerfectColor(TM)
6-way color adjustment. These Diamond series flat panel TVs
also come with Mitsubishi's NetCommand(R) 4.0 home theater
system control, TV Guide On Screen(R) electric program guides,
and MediaCommand(R) five-format digital memory card readers.
"Our new Diamond flat panel televisions will set the
standard this year," said Max Wasinger, senior vice president
of sales and marketing for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics
America. "They offer the sharpest digital picture ever
available from Mitsubishi, and with the built-in Digital Cable
Ready HDTV receivers and HD PVRs, customers will no longer
have to cope with unsightly set-top boxes and cables."
Mitsubishi's other new LCDs include the 22-inch LT-2240 and
30-inch LT-3040 Mitsubishi models, and the 30-inch LT-3050
Medallion model. The 22-inch and 30-inch models are HD-upgradeable
and include AMVP(TM) for precise upconversion of standard
definition video signals. Each model also comes with a PC
input, matching base and Mitsubishi's PerfectColor(TM) technology.
The Mitsubishi and Medallion models all feature 1280 x 768
pixel resolution. The 42-inch Diamond model offers 1365 x
768 resolution, while the 55-inch boasts 1920 x 1080 pixel
resolution, the highest available on an LCD TV screen.
In separate announcements, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics
America introduced its new lines of plasma displays, Digital
Cable Ready projection televisions, microdisplay projection
televisions, and its expanded line of DVD players, HD digital
recorders and receivers, and analog VHS recorders.
