Honeywell Altura MLX 42" 16:9 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV MT-HWJCT42B2AB



Pros:
Great Price for a 42" 120hz, once again Neweggs outstanding delivery. Nice finish and since the screen is mat finish not much glare in a bright room. The clarity of the picture is good I sometimes feel a little to good. almost to polished. the controls are easy and the contrast is sharp

Cons:
There are a few things i find a little off about the set. The contrast is great but in terms of picture depth I feel like I am reading a nice published book with out a varnish finish. all are easily seen but it feels plastic at the end. Don't get me wrong the picture quality is nice but with the smooth motion feature it feels like I am watching a puppet show. A nice live human puppet show..(er that seems creepy but I think you get the point) I have not used the coaxial cable in connection so I can not tell you the review on that but as far as the hdmi and component, top notch. A little hard to get to if you have it say over the fireplace and only have the kind of mount that tilts (like my set up) so be prepared if you are in a tight area. Have the cables set up before mounting. Be aware the base is not attached. so be prepared for tat.. i wasn't.

Other Thoughts:
Sadly from what I hear and since I cant seem to go to the manufacturer site any more. The Honeywell consumer electronics division went under. so I am not sure about the warranty. All in all a good set for your introduction into 120hz viewing and puppet people. However there is a vizio 42 120hz set out there with the same price range and they seem to still be in business
