Just to correct the review, none of the LCD TV's in Mitsubishi's line use LED backlighting. I heard a rumor maybe next year. They do however use rows across the entire back from top to bottom of full spectrum florescent backlighting. This is what gives it its brightness while the full spectrum lamps produce more accurate color. I do agree that the video processing needs some updating or improvement (HQV would be nice for a premium branded line). Also I am disappointed in all manufacturors and thier implementation of 120hz. I wish that one of the higher end companies would engineer TV's that display 30p and 60p at 120hz but use 5:5 processing when dealing with 24p not convert the 24p to 60p then to 120hz.
