The sets will be a 46-inch model (LT-46149) priced at $3,299 and a 52-inch model (LT-52149) priced at $3,699. Both sets are expected to ship this month.
Mitsubishi says the 'Ultra Thin Frame' sets will deliver a Home Theater sound experience without the need for additional speakers or extra wires.
"Mitsubishi's new Premium Flat Panel TV (creates) a new immersive audio experience with innovative sound technology that exceeds what is currently being offered on the market," says Frank DeMartin, vice president of Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. (The sets are) ideal for consumers who have been craving a complete Home Theater TV solution without the complicated set-up and operation."
The Integrated Sound Projector (ISP) reproduces 5.1 Surround Sound from a single speaker cabinet attached below the TV screen. The speaker enclosure houses a 16-speaker array that creates a 5.1 channel sound field.
Using an advanced algorithm, the ISP delays the sounds intervals to each of the 16 speakers, which generates 5.1 distinct sound beams aimed at the listener.
