Five new televisions have been announced in total.

Mitsubishi announced today that they’ll be releasing two new lines of LCDs in Japan this October. With the MZW300 series, available in 40,” 46,” and 52” sizes, Mitsubishi states that image and audio quality are greatly improved over previous models. Diatone HD technology enables virtual 5.1 surround sound to enable a home theater like experience without the setup.

The BHR300 series, also announced at the press conference, is available in 32” and 37” models and features the same audio and video quality as the MZW300 line, but with the added bonus of a Blu-ray player and 320GB DVR. Connectivity solutions abound in the BHR300s as well, as it features not only an SD/SDHC slot, but a USB port as well.

And $50 in credit to start your streaming experience.

In the sales environment we’re in right now, every company needs to create a strong identity for themselves, separate themselves from the pack, and offer something the other guy isn’t. Mitsubishi found a way to do just that; starting July 16th, authorized Mitsubishi retailers will be packing a Vudu box with every Mitsubishi TV sold.

“We simply wanted to provide a value-add bundle other than Blu-ray, something new and exciting for our retailers,” said Frank Martin, VP of Marketing at the company. In an environment when televisions will soon have built in streaming services as a standard feature, it will be interesting to see if the Vudu box will be enough to spur sales.
