It will feature a 120Hz refresh rate (eh), Full 1080p HD, 178 degree view angle, and a bunch of other HDMI, Component, and VGA ports. Plus, it will have a 120,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (already surpassed), and come with a potentially cool, but somewhat strange five-year warranty that loses small warranty privileges over the years, like labor and LCD panel repairs.

There are exactly 2 reviews out on the Honeywell MLX series and none on either the ML or LE series. I talked with SOYO and they confirmed this. First was the very favorable (9.2 of 10) Benchmarks Review; see link: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=248&Itemid=68 The second review by David Katzmaier at CNET is an editorial wreck. His biggest problems with the Honeywell have to do with manual calibration and the dejudder feature. Unlike most TV owners, David like to calibrate just about everything, so he has a problem with Honeywell's automatic features. He also doesn't think the Honeywell gets black enough. All of which I say is either contrived or Mr. Katzmaier is not qualified to test HDTVs. I actually believe the problem is that SOYO-Honeywell does not sponsor Mr. Katzmaier or CNET and therefore took a hit on the review. If anyone can link to another review on the Honeywell Altura MLX, I would like to see it. Not someone rehashing the CNET article, but a separate review. Sony, you are intentionally lying.

Do some research before you throw away your hard earned money, especially in this economy. The 42" Honeywell grabbed my attention while I was shopping for a new tv, but after reading many independent online reviews which pointed out a very mediocre picture with terrible black levels, I quickly dropped it from my radar. If they couldnt really get the 42" picture right, why would anyone believe that they 82" will be any better? Good luck competing against Vizio. They already have a good share of the market and a great reputation for creating quality LCD's for a very low price. It will be interesting to see how long Honeywell is willing to fight for to try and break into the highly competitive LCD tv market. I dont think they couldv'e picked a worse time to enter the LCD market. A full on global recession and the fact that we are already many years into the LCD tv boom. So many manufacturers have spent years building their reputations and claiming their market share, and now GE and Honeywell think that they're going to just break into the market? I dont see it happening, but only time will tell. The Honeywell line of tv's entered the market with poor reviews, I'm very interested in seeing how the GE tv's fare.
