Mitsubishi has introduced a new line of LCD displays, dubbed the 149 Series, that replace the standard stereo speakers of most TVs with "a 16-point audio system, much like speaker bars, that can generate a 5.1-channel surround effect without occupying the physical space."
The first two TVs to use this new system, called the integrated Sound Projector, are the 46-inch LT46149 and 52-inch ... [ read the full article ]

I doubt this really works... What does "5.1 channeleffect" mean?
I read a review on a similar device. The reviewer liked the spacial effect, but he wasn't "fooled"... The right-rear channel (for example) didn't really sound like it was coming from behind... The system just sort-of "confused" his directional ability, so that that it would be hard to locate the speaker if he was blindfolded.
I dunno.. I still have a 1972 Mitsubishi tv which has a superb picture and sound.
Going on the general quality of their products I would really like to see and hear one of these. the onboard sound of most large screen lcd tv's has been to say the least disappointing.
Mitsubishi Sucks i have seen more of there tv's on the side of the road with for free signs on them all do to the fact that it costs more to up keep them then what the stupid sets are worth big deal if they are releasing a new tv the only place that would carry it would be video only because no other stores in the state of washington will carry there garbage.
Correct me if I am wrong but could you buy a pretty good 1080p LCD and a good 7.1 system for that price? If you are going to be spending that kind of money, I am sure space taken up by a surround sound system isn't an issue.
Another TV gimmick. Tv with surround! This is aimed for the naive people that want space saving. You would need an enclosed room to have the effect work properly. I love my surround system and it isn't nearly expensive but it does the job. It's the best playing halo, you can hear people in the direction from behind without looking at the radar.
