Mitsubishi Ultra-Thin Frame Premium Flat Panel TV

Tired of purchasing additional speakers and fiddling with extra wires just to have the ultimate home theater system? Then you may want to check out Mitsubishi's latest Ultra-Thin Frame Premium Flat Panel TV line with—get this—an integrated sound projector (iSP).

Officially announced on Monday, the Premium Flat Panel TV product line consists of the 46-inch (LT-46149) and 52-inch (LT-52149) models. The iSP works by reproducing "true 5.1 surround sound from a single [16-speaker array] cabinet attached below the TV screen...Through the use of an advanced algorithm, the iSP delays the sound varying intervals to each of the 16 speakers," according to the company. What you get is 5.1 sound beams aimed both directly and indirectly at you.

Another interesting feature of the iSP is that you can enter specific room dimenstions and locations of the main listening area using the on-screen display. The iSP then calculates the sound beam angles for the best sound.

Mitsubishi's entire line of Premium Flat Panel TVs also feature Smooth 120Hz Film Motion for converting film to video.

The LT-46149 and LT-52149 will be available in July 2008 for $3,299 and $3,699, respectively.
