Each 40-inch model is only 37 inches in width and 23.9 inches in height (without base); each 46-inch model is 42.3 inches wide and 26.9 inches tall (without base), and each 52-inch model is 48 inches in width and only 30.4 inches high (without base). The 133 Series is presented in Platinum Black with a Platinum Metallic accent. Both the LT-40134 and the 144 Series products are finished in Platinum Black with a Platinum Black accent. Diamond models are presented in a sleek high-gloss Black Pearl accented by a Diamond Blue light.
