Mitsubishi LT-52249 is a 52 inch screen TV. The video quality is amazing. There are 16 speakers
at the bottom of the screen which looks ugly but the sound quality is very good. The speakers are very satisfying. The remote is the worst part. It needs some improvement in menu system and remote. For more details refer mitsubishi lt-52249 review
